Binding tariff information for this code
Lackwiderstandmessgerät in Form einer Warenzusammenstellung in Aufmachung für den Einzelverkauf, bestehend aus einem in Bezug auf die Verwendung charakterbestimmenden Messgerät, einer Konformitätsbescheinigung sowie einer Bedienungsanleitung in einer gemeinsamen Verpackung. Das batteriebetriebene Messgerät setzt sich im Wesentlichen aus einem Gehäuse (242 x 153 x 74 mm) mit einem Haltegriff, einer Anzeige mit Zifferblatt und Zeiger, einem Funktionsdrehschalter, einem Potenziometer für den Nullabgleich sowie einer Anschlussbuchse für die Messsonde, welche über ein Spiralkabel in funktioneller Einheit mit dem Messgerät verbunden wird, zusammen (siehe Abbildung in der Anlage). Das Gerät dient der Messung und Anzeige des Lackwiderstandes in Ohm (Ω) von Lösemittellacken. Der Messbereich beträgt 10 kΩ bis 5 MΩ. Für die Messung wird die Sonde in den Lack getaucht, der Messwert kann sodann auf der Anzeigeskala abgelesen werden. Die Ware wird als "Gerät zum Messen oder Prüfen elektrischer Größen, ausgenommen Zähler der Position 9028, andere als von den Unterpositionen (HS) 9030 10 bis 9030 32 erfasst, ohne Registriervorrichtung, Instrument zur Widerstandsmessung" eingereiht.
