	2. For the purposes of headings 70.03, 70.04 and 70.05:
	(a) glass shall not be considered “worked” by any process prior to tempering;
	(b) cutting to shape does not affect the classification of plate glass;
	(c) the expression “absorbent, reflective or non-reflective layer” means an extremely thin coating of metal or of a chemical compound (e.g. a metal oxide) which has the effect of absorbing, for example, infrared radiation or of increasing the reflectivity of the glass while remaining transparent or translucent; or of not allowing light to be reflected from the surface of the glass.
	3. The products referred to in heading 70.06 remain classified in that heading whether or not they have the character of goods.
	4. For the purposes of heading 70.19, the expression “glass wool” means:
	_{2 )}content of not less than 60% by weight;
	(b) Mineral wools with a silica (SiO ₂) content of less than 60% by weight but with an alkali oxide (K ₂O or Na ₂O) content of more than 5% by weight or a boric oxide (B ₂O ₃) content of more than 2% by weight.
	Mineral wools not having the above specifications are classified in heading 68.06.
	5. In this Nomenclature, the term “glass” includes fused quartz and other fused silica.
