Article 1
In Column 3 (reasons) of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 834/95 the following paragraph is added. "Classification of the article in heading 9021 as orthopaedic appliance is excluded, because the hinges are not adjustable to a specific handicap of a patient. Moreover, the article does not show a high degree of precision. Therefore, the article is an ordinary support for general use and it does not serve a specific medical purpose. The adjustment of the article around the leg by two 'velcro-type' strips, does not serve any specific medical purpose, because the 'velcro-type' strips merely hold the knee-pad in place."
