Processing and finishing of plastic products
What this code covers
Use this class for processing and finishing of plastic products when the main activity includes Processing of plastics (e.g. by cutting, chamfering, turning, milling, drilling, threading by computer numerical control (CNC) or other machineries) and Bending, gluing and welding of plastic materials. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- This class includes general activities for the processing and finishing of plastic products, typically carried out on a fee or contract basis:
- processing of plastics (e.g. by cutting, chamfering, turning, milling, drilling, threading by computer numerical control (CNC) or other machineries)
- bending, gluing and welding of plastic materials
- processing of plastic surfaces (e.g. by engraving, sandblasting, microblasting, polishing)
- plastic coating of metal surfaces, see 25.51
- Compare with 25.51, 22.21, 22.22 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 22.25 used for?
Use NACE 22.25 for processing and finishing of plastic products when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for processing and finishing of plastic products when the main activity includes Processing of plastics (e.g. by cutting, chamfering, turning, milling, drilling, threading by computer numerical control (CNC) or other machineries) and Bending, gluing and welding of plastic materials. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 22.25?
Typical examples include Processing of plastics (e.g. by cutting, chamfering, turning, milling, drilling, threading by computer numerical control (CNC) or other machineries), Bending, gluing and welding of plastic materials, and Processing of plastic surfaces (e.g. by engraving, sandblasting, microblasting, polishing).
When might 22.25 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to plastic coating of metal surfaces, see 25.51.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 22.25?
Compare 22.25 with 25.51 Coating of metals, 22.21 Manufacture of plastic plates, sheets, tubes and profiles, and 22.22 Manufacture of plastic packing goods when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for coating of metals when the main activity includes Galvanising, including general (batch) hot-dip galvanising and Phosphate or chromate conversion coating. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
