Manufacture of machinery for metallurgy
What this code covers
Use this class for manufacture of machinery for metallurgy when the main activity includes Manufacture of machines and equipment for handling hot metals (e.g. converters, ingot moulds, ladles and casting machines, of a kind used in metallurgy or in metal foundries) and Manufacture of metal-rolling mills and rolls for such mills. 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 machines and equipment for handling hot metals (e.g. converters, ingot moulds, ladles and casting machines, of a kind used in metallurgy or in metal foundries)
- manufacture of metal-rolling mills and rolls for such mills
- manufacture of moulding boxes and moulds (except ingot moulds), see 25.63
