Eligibility of 'Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer' Under Notification No. 21/2002-Cus.
Eligibility of 'Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer' Under Notification No. 21/2002-Cus.
1. I am directed to refer to the subject mentioned above and to say that a doubt has been raised as to whether the apparatus 'Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer' is eligible for notification no. 21/2002-Cus. Serial 367 read with list 38 (item 10) which covers 'Sterilizers (high speed/Ethylene)'. It has been stated that the term 'Ethylene Sterilizer' is a shorter version of 'Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer'.
2. The matter has been examined. Ethylene Sterilizer and ethylene oxide Sterilizer in technical/trade parlance refer to the same type of sterilizer which uses Ethylene Oxide as a sterilizing agent. Therefore, it is clarified that Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers are eligible for examination under the said notification.
3. This may be brought to notice of all concerned.
4. Please acknowledge receipt of this circular.
