WORKING OF PLASTICS; WORKING OF SUBSTANCES IN A PLASTIC STATE IN GENERAL (processing doughs A21C; working chocolate A23G; casting of metals B22; working cement, clay B28; chemical aspects, see section C, particularly C08; working glass C03B; candle making C11C 5/02; making soap C11D 13/00; manufacture of artificial filaments, threads, fibres, bristles or ribbons D01D, D01F; manufacture of articles from cellulosic fibrous suspensions or from papier-mâche D21J)
 B29

Note(s)

  1. This class does not cover the working of plastics sheet material in a manner analogous to the working of paper, which is covered by class B31[4]
  2. In this class, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:
    • "plastics" means macromolecular compounds or compositions based on such compounds.
  3. In this class, the following rules apply:
    1. The working of plastics is, as far as possible, classified primarily according to the particular shaping technique used, e.g. in subclass B29C[4]
    2. A product is not classified in this class unless it results from a technique which is covered by this class.
    3. Classification according to production of particular articles in subclass B29D is restricted to:
      1. aspects which are characteristic for the production of a particular article, and not classifiable in subclass B29B or B29C;
      2. combined operations for making the particular article which are not fully classifiable in subclass B29C[4]

B29L

Note(s)

  1. The codes of subclass B29K are only for use as indexing codes associated with subclasses B29B, B29C, or B29D so as to provide information concerning moulding materials or materials for reinforcements, fillers or preformed parts, e.g. inserts. [4]
  2. The codes of subclass B29L are only for use as indexing codes associated with subclass B29C, so as to provide information concerning the articles produced by the techniques classified in subclass B29C[4]
