Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 26?
Typical examples include The division also contains the manufacture of consumer electronics, measuring, testing and navigating equipment, irradiation, electromedical and electrotherapeutic equipment, optical instruments and equipment, and the manufacture of magnetic and optical media..
When might 26 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to This division excludes the manufacture of conductors for electronic use and of optical fibre cables, see division 27..
Which codes should I compare before choosing 26?
Compare 26 with 27 Manufacture of electrical equipment, 10 Manufacture of food products, and 11 Manufacture of beverages when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this division for manufacture of electrical equipment when the main activity includes Also included is the manufacture of electrical lighting, signalling equipment and electric household appliances.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of food products when the main activity includes This division is organised by activities dealing with different kinds of products: meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, fats and oils, milk products, grain mill products, animal feed and other food products. Production can be carried out for own account, as well as for third parties, as in custom slaughtering. and Some activities are considered manufacturing even though there is retail sale of the products in the producers’ own shop (for example, those activities performed in bakeries, pastry shops and prepared meat shops which sell their own production). However, where the processing is minimal and does not lead to a real transformation, the unit is classified to section G.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of beverages when the main activity includes Manufacture of beverages. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of tobacco products when the main activity includes Manufacture of tobacco products. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of textiles when the main activity includes Preparation and spinning of textile fibres and Weaving of textiles. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of electronic components and boards, including Manufacture of electronic components and Manufacture of loaded electronic boards. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment, including Manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of communication equipment, including Manufacture of communication equipment. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of consumer electronics, including Manufacture of consumer electronics. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this section for mANUFACTURING when the main activity includes The output of a manufacturing process may be finished in the sense that it is ready for use or consumption, or it may be semi-finished in the sense that it is to become an input for further manufacturing. For example, the output of alumina refining is the input used in the primary production of aluminium; primary aluminium is the input to aluminium wire drawing; aluminium wire is the input for the manufacture of fabricated wire products. and Manufacture of specialised components and parts of, and accessories and attachments to machinery and equipment is, as a general rule, classified in the same class as the manufacture of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended. Manufacture of unspecialised components and parts of machinery and equipment (for example, engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, valves, gears, roller bearings, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing, without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items may be included.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
