| Plain-language summary | Use this class for casting of light metals when the main activity includes Activities of foundries of light metal and Manufacture of castings made of aluminium. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity. | Use this class for casting of iron when the main activity includes Manufacture of castings made of grey iron castings and Manufacture of castings made of ductile iron castings (including casting of spheroidal graphite iron castings and malleable iron castings). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity. | Use this class for casting of steel when the main activity includes Manufacture of castings made of alloy or common steel castings and Manufacture of castings made of carbon or commercial steel castings. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity. | Use this class for casting of other non-ferrous metals when the main activity includes Activities of foundries of other non-ferrous metals and Manufacture of castings made of copper, zinc, lead or nickel alloys. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity. | Use this group for casting of metals when the main activity includes Casting of iron and Casting of steel.
