Use this class for manufacture of tools when the main activity includes Manufacture of knives and cutting blades for machines or for mechanical appliances and Manufacture of hand tools (e.g. pliers, screwdrivers). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of power-driven hand tools when the main activity includes Manufacture of hand tools, with self-contained electric or non-electric motor or pneumatic drive and Circular or reciprocating saws. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
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.
Use this class for manufacture of cutlery when the main activity includes Manufacture of domestic cutlery (e.g. knives, forks, spoons) and Manufacture of other articles of cutlery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of locks and hinges when the main activity includes Manufacture of hardware, such as padlocks, locks, keys, hinges (e.g. base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles for buildings, furniture, vehicles). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
A short checklist before choosing one code over another.
These codes share C MANUFACTURING before they diverge.
25.63, 28.24, 28.91, 25.61, 25.62 already list another compared code as related or often confused.
25.63, 28.24, 28.91, 25.61, 25.62 include official exclusions that may point to a better-fitting code.
25.63, 25.61, 25.62 have non-exact Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mappings; review old records before migration.
