Manufacture of lighting equipment
What this code covers
Use this class for manufacture of lighting equipment when the main activity includes Manufacture of lamps, fixtures and bulbs (e.g. discharge, incandescent, fluorescent, ultraviolet, infra-red, light-emitting diode (LED)) and Manufacture of ceiling or wall lighting fixtures (e.g. chandeliers). 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 the manufacture of electric light bulbs and tubes, and parts and components thereof (except glass blanks for electric light bulbs), electric lighting and other fixtures, and lighting fixture components (except current-carrying wiring devices).
- manufacture of lamps, fixtures and bulbs (e.g. discharge, incandescent, fluorescent, ultraviolet, infra-red, light-emitting diode (LED))
