About this level

Practical summary

Class 2013 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 20 Manufacture of Chemicals and Chemical Products > 201 Manufacture of basic chemicals. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Manufacture of Synthetic Rubber and Factice Derived from Oils, in Primary Forms, Production of Mixtures of Synthetic Rubber and Natural Rubber or Rubber-like Gums (e.g., Balata), in Primary Forms, and Manufacture of Plastic Synthetic Resins. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.

Administrative context

Where this code is used

This class is used when a business can already narrow the activity family and only needs to compare the final subclasses such as Manufacture of Synthetic Rubber and Factice Derived from Oils, in Primary Forms, Production of Mixtures of Synthetic Rubber and Natural Rubber or Rubber-like Gums (e.g., Balata), in Primary Forms, and Manufacture of Plastic Synthetic Resins. It is the level most often checked before a five-digit decision is finalized.

Selection note

How to choose it

Use this class to choose between its final subclasses such as Manufacture of Synthetic Rubber and Factice Derived from Oils, in Primary Forms, Production of Mixtures of Synthetic Rubber and Natural Rubber or Rubber-like Gums (e.g., Balata), in Primary Forms, and Manufacture of Plastic Synthetic Resins. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.

FAQ

What does PSIC Class 2013 cover?

PSIC Class 2013 is the four-digit layer that sits just above the final subclasses and usually defines the activity family for Manufacture of plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms.

How do I compare Class 2013 with the sibling classes?

Read the neighboring classes and compare the exact wording of the child subclasses. Nearby options include 2011 Manufacture of basic chemicals and 2012 Manufacture of Fertilizers and Nitrogen Compounds.

Why does Class 2013 matter for a filing decision?

It is usually the last broad checkpoint before the five-digit subclass choice, so it is the right place to catch near-miss classifications.
