  1. In groups C04B 7/00-C04B 32/00, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, an invention is classified in the last appropriate place. [4]
  2. A composition classified in groups C04B 26/00 or C04B 28/00 is also classified in groups C04B 14/00-C04B 24/00, if a filler or active ingredient is of importance. [4]
  3. Grinding aids used after the burning process or used in the absence of a burning process are classified as active ingredients. [4]
  4. In groups C04B 26/00-C04B 30/00, it is desirable to add, in conformity with paragraph 83 of the Guide, after the double oblique stroke, the indexing codes representing additional information which relates to individual constituents of a technical subject which is already classified as such. The indexing codes, which are chosen from groups C04B 14/00-C04B 30/00, have the same numbers as the classification symbols but a colon is used instead of the oblique stroke. These indexing codes should be presented as linked to the classification symbols with which they are associated, in conformity with paragraph 85(a) of the Guide. [4]
