Manufacture of flat glass
What this code covers
Use this class for manufacture of flat glass when the main activity includes Manufacture of flat glass (e.g. cast, rolled, drawn or blown), surface ground or polished glass in sheets and sheets of float glass, opacified, flashed or having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, including wired, coloured throughout the mass, or tinted flat glass and Shaping and processing done as part of the manufacturing process. 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.
