The UK's Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) announced that all export licenses to Iran for items included on the European Union list of dual-use goods, along with brokering services and technical or financial assistance related to such items, would now be refused, "except in cases where there is manifestly no risk." Examples of the dual-use items targeted by BIS include nickel alloy pipes, vacuum pumps, radiation detectors, spectrometers, heat furnaces and specialized gaskets (a complete list of the relevant dual-use materials is published in Annex IV of Council Regulation (EU) 961/2010).
