Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment
What this code covers
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.
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 pure metal products (for example, parts, containers, structures), usually with a static, immovable function. This is in contrast to divisions 26 to 30, which cover the manufacture of combinations or assemblies of such metal products (sometimes with other materials) into more complex units that – unless they are purely electrical, electronic or optical – work with moving parts.
- This division also includes the manufacture of products of composite materials in which metals are the predominant material.
- The manufacture of weapons and ammunition is also included in this division.
- specialised repair and maintenance activities of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment, see 33.1
- specialised installation of manufactured goods produced in this division in buildings (e.g. central heating boilers), see 43.22
- Compare with 33.1, 43.22, 10 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- 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 25 used for?
Use NACE 25 for manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment when the main activity matches this scope: 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.
What are typical examples for 25?
Typical examples include The manufacture of weapons and ammunition is also included in this division..
When might 25 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to specialised repair and maintenance activities of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment, see 33.1 and specialised installation of manufactured goods produced in this division in buildings (e.g. central heating boilers), see 43.22.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 25?
Compare 25 with 33.1 Repair and maintenance of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment, 43.22 Plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation, and 10 Manufacture of food products when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this group for repair and maintenance of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment when the main activity includes Repair and maintenance of fabricated metal products and Repair and maintenance of machinery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for plumbing, heat and air-conditioning installation when the main activity includes Installation, maintenance and repair of: and Heating systems (e.g. heat pumps, solar thermal collectors). 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 division for manufacture of beverages when the main activity includes Manufacture of beverages. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of tobacco products when the main activity includes Manufacture of tobacco products. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for manufacture of textiles when the main activity includes Preparation and spinning of textile fibres and Weaving of textiles. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for manufacture of structural metal products when the main activity includes Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures and Manufacture of doors and windows of metal. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal when the main activity includes Manufacture of central heating radiators, steam generators and boilers and Manufacture of other tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of weapons and ammunition, including Manufacture of weapons and ammunition. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy, including Forging and shaping metal and powder metallurgy. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
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.
Rev. 2 code 25 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment, 28 Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c..
