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 Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B31. [4]
In this class, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:
"plastics" means macromolecular compounds or compositions based on such compounds.
In this class, the following rules apply:
The working of plastics is, as far as possible, classified primarily according to the particular shaping technique used, e.g. in subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B29C. [4]
A product is not classified in this class unless it results from a technique which is covered by this class.
This subclass constitutes an indexing scheme associated with subclass Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B29C. The indexing codes should be unlinked. [4]
Attention is drawn to Chapter IV of the Guide which sets forth the rules concerning the application and presentation of the different types of indexing code. [6]
