What this code covers
Use this division for manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. when the main activity includes This division distinguishes between the manufacture of special-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery for exclusive use in a NACE activity or a small cluster of NACE activities, and general-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery that is being used in a wide range of NACE activities.. 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.
- This division includes the manufacture of machinery and equipment that act independently on materials either mechanically or thermally or perform operations on materials (for example, handling, spraying, weighing or packing), including their mechanical components that produce and apply force, and any specially manufactured primary parts. This includes the manufacture of fixed and mobile or handheld devices, regardless of whether they are designed for industrial, building and civil engineering, agricultural or home use. The manufacture of special equipment for passenger or freight transport within demarcated premises also belongs within this division.
- This division distinguishes between the manufacture of special-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery for exclusive use in a NACE activity or a small cluster of NACE activities, and general-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery that is being used in a wide range of NACE activities.
- This division also includes the manufacture of other special-purpose machinery, not covered elsewhere in the classification, whether or not used in a manufacturing process (for example, fairground amusement equipment, automatic bowling alley equipment).
- This division excludes the manufacture of metal products for general use (division 25), associated control devices, computer equipment, measurement and testing equipment, electricity distribution and control apparatus (divisions 26 and 27) and general-purpose motor vehicles (division 29).

- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 28 used for?
Use NACE 28 for manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. when the main activity matches this scope: Use this division for manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. when the main activity includes This division distinguishes between the manufacture of special-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery for exclusive use in a NACE activity or a small cluster of NACE activities, and general-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery that is being used in a wide range of NACE activities.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 28?
Typical examples include This division distinguishes between the manufacture of special-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery for exclusive use in a NACE activity or a small cluster of NACE activities, and general-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery that is being used in a wide range of NACE activities..
When might 28 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to This division excludes the manufacture of metal products for general use (division 25), associated control devices, computer equipment, measurement and testing equipment, electricity distribution and control apparatus (divisions 26 and 27) and general-purpose motor vehicles (division 29)..
Which codes should I compare before choosing 28?
Compare 28 with 25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment, 26 Manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products, and 27 Manufacture of electrical equipment when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this division for manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment when the main activity includes The manufacture of weapons and ammunition is also included in this division.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products when the main activity includes 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.. 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 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.
