Manufacture and processing of other glass, including technical glassware
What this code covers
Use this class for manufacture and processing of other glass, including technical glassware when the main activity includes Manufacture of laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware and Manufacture of clock or watch glass, optical glass and optical elements not optically worked. 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.
- manufacture of laboratory, hygienic or pharmaceutical glassware
- manufacture of clock or watch glass, optical glass and optical elements not optically worked
- manufacture of glassware used in imitation jewellery

Rev. 2 code 23.19 maps to 23.15 Manufacture and processing of other glass, including technical glassware, but the relationship is scope-aligned rather than a simple unchanged code.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
