Manufacture of weapons and ammunition
What this code covers
Use this class for manufacture of weapons and ammunition when the main activity includes Manufacture of military weapons (e.g. artillery weapons, rocket launchers, flame-throwers, grenade launchers, torpedo tubes and similar projectors, machine guns) and Manufacture of pistols, shotguns and rifles. 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.

Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 25.30?
Typical examples include Manufacture of military weapons (e.g. artillery weapons, rocket launchers, flame-throwers, grenade launchers, torpedo tubes and similar projectors, machine guns), Manufacture of pistols, shotguns and rifles, and Manufacture of spring, air or gas guns and pistols, etc..
When might 25.30 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to manufacture of percussion caps, detonators or signalling flares, see 20.59 and manufacture of cutlasses, swords, bayonets, etc., see 25.61.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 25.30?
Compare 25.30 with 20.59 Manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c., 25.61 Manufacture of cutlery, and 26.70 Manufacture of optical instruments, magnetic and optical media and photographic equipment when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c. when the main activity includes Manufacture of photographic plates, films, sensitised paper and other sensitised unexposed materials and Manufacture of chemical preparations for photographic uses. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of cutlery when the main activity includes Manufacture of domestic cutlery (e.g. knives, forks, spoons) and Manufacture of other articles of cutlery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of optical instruments, magnetic and optical media and photographic equipment when the main activity includes Manufacture of optical mirrors and Manufacture of optical gun-sighting equipment. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of weapons and ammunition, including Manufacture of weapons and ammunition. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Rev. 2 code 25.40 maps to 25.30 Manufacture of weapons and ammunition, 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.
