Notes

(1)

In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:

–

"lubricant" or "lubricating composition" includes cutting oils, hydraulic fluids, metal drawing compositions, flushing oils, slushing oils, or the like;

–

"aliphatic" includes "cycloaliphatic". [4]

(2)

In respect of the classification of mixtures, attention is drawn to Note (4) (e) below. [4]

(3)

In this subclass, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, classification is made in the last appropriate place. Thus, a compound having an aromatic ring is classified as aromatic regardless of whether the substituent(s) of interest are on the ring or on an aliphatic part of the molecule. [4]

(4)

In this subclass:

(a)

metal or ammonium salts of a compound are classified as that compound;

(b)

salts or adducts formed between two or more organic compounds are classified according to all compounds forming the salt or adduct, if of interest;

(c)

a specified compound, e.g. phenols, acids, substituted by a macromolecular hydrocarbon radical is classified as that compound;

(d)

base-materials or thickeners or additives consisting of a mixture for which no specific main group is provided are classified in the most indented group covering all essential constituents of the mixture, for example,

–

a base-material mixture of ketone and amide group C 10 M 105/00;

–

a base-material mixture of ketone and ether group C 10 M 105/08;

–

an additive mixture of long and short chain esters group C 10 M 129/00;

–

an additive mixture of short chain aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids group C 10 M 129/26;

(e)

except for aqueous lubricating compositions containing more than 10% water, which are classified separately, classification is made according to the type of ingredient or mixture of types of ingredient (base-material, thickener or additive) which characterises the composition.

Attention is drawn to the fact that a mixture of essential ingredients characterised by only one of its components, rather than by the mixture as a whole, is not classified as a mixture, e.g., a lubricating composition consisting of:

–

a known base-material and a new additive is classified only in the "additive" part of the classification scheme;

–

a known base-material with both a thickener and a further additive as essential ingredients, which may be individually known or not, is classified as a mixture of thickener and additive;

–

a known base-material with a combination of additives as essential ingredients, which may be individually known or not, is classified in the appropriate place for the additive mixture. [4]

(5)

In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes relating to:

–

each of the essential ingredients of a mixture. However, in the case of an aqueous lubricating composition covered by group C 10 M 173/00, the presence of water is not indicated;

–

each of the essential reactants of a reaction product covered by groups C 10 M 109/02, C 10 M 121/04 or C 10 M 159/12.

The indexing codes, which are chosen from groups C 10 M 101/00 to C 10 M 109/00, C 10 M 113/00 to C 10 M 121/00, C 10 M 125/00 to C 10 M 139/00, C 10 M 143/00 to C 10 M 155/00, C 10 M 159/00 or C 10 M 163/00 to C 10 M 167/00, have the same numbers as the classification symbols, but a colon is used instead of the oblique stroke, and should be linked. [4]

(6)

In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclass C 10 N. The indexing codes should be unlinked. [4]

(7)

Attention is drawn to Chapter IV of the Guide which sets the rules concerning the application and presentation of different types of indexing code. [6]
