Subject to Note 1 to this Section, Note 1 to Chapter 84 and Note 1 to Chapter 85, parts of machines (not being parts of the articles of heading 8484, 8544, 8545, 8546 or 8547) are to be classified according to the following rules: (a) parts which are goods included in any of the headings of Chapter 84 or 85 (other than headings 8409, 8431, 8448, 8466, 8473, 8487, 8503, 8522, 8529, 8538 and 8548) are in all cases to be classified in their respective headings; (b) other parts, if suitable for use solely or principally with a particular kind of machine, or with a number of machines of the same heading, are to be classified with the machines of that kind or in heading 8409, 8431, 8448, 8466, 8473, 8503, 8522, 8529 or 8538 as appropriate; however, parts which are equally suitable for use principally with the goods of headings 8517 and 8525 to 8528 are to be classified in heading 8517; (c) all other parts are to be classified in heading 8409, 8431, 8448, 8466, 8473, 8503, 8522, 8529 or 8538 as appropriate or, failing that, in heading 8487 or 8548. 3. Unless the context otherwise requires, composite machines consisting of two or more machines fitted together to form a whole and other machines designed for the purpose of performing two or more complementary or alternative functions are to be classified as if consisting only of that component or as being that machine which performs the principal function. 4. Where a machine (including a combination of machines) consists of individual components (whether separate or interconnected by piping, by transmission devices, by electric cables or by other devices) intended to contribute together to a clearly defined function covered by one of the headings in Chapter 84 or Chapter 85, then the whole is to be classified in the heading appropriate to that function. 5. For the purposes of these Notes, the expression 'machine' means any machine, machinery, plant, equipment, apparatus or appliance cited in the headings of Chapter 84 or 85.

2020/622
Rectangular car radio fascia, known as a 'control panel', made of plastic, featuring multiple engraved push buttons (laser engraving) to activate various functions, with no electrical or electronic components integrated. Removable and passive part of a car radio, intended as the user interface, classified under parts and accessories of electronic devices (heading 3926 for plastic accessories), and subject to general requirements for plastic materials used in automobiles (REACH, ELV Directive).
1036/2014
Electronic interface and video/audio processing card intended to be integrated into an LCD television or a video reproduction device, equipped with multiple input/output interfaces (VGA, HDMI, SCART, component, CVBS, audio, USB) and internal interfaces (LVDS for LCD screen, power supply). The card manages analog-to-digital conversion, video decoding (e.g., MPEG4), scaling (up to Full HD), audio amplification, LVDS transmission for the screen, and allows direct content playback from USB. This card does not include a tuner (no RF/IF/demodulation stages), and falls under electronic cards for television receiver devices, subject to CE marking (safety, EMC, RoHS, WEEE), as well as REACH compliance for the electronic materials used.
1109/2012
Electronic device comprising three linear CCD image sensors encapsulated in a ceramic 60-pin package, each equipped with a fiber optic plate with scintillator. Intended for X-ray imaging, it converts X-rays into light and then into an electrical signal via the CCD sensors (1,536 × 128 pixels, size 48 × 48 μm), providing an output in the form of integrated circuits. Suitable for integration into X-ray cameras, it is specifically designed for the detection and conversion of X-rays into image signals, primarily used in radiology or non-destructive testing devices. Regulatory particularity: may be subject to specific controls for medical or imaging devices, and to REACH regulation depending on the composition of the housing and scintillators.
