About this level

Practical summary

Class 2612 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 26 Manufacture of Computer, Electronic and Optical Products > 261 Manufacture of electronic components. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Manufacture of Semi-conductor Devices and other Electronic Components. 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 Semi-conductor Devices and other Electronic Components. 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 Semi-conductor Devices and other Electronic Components. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.

Official note

Source-backed description

This includes the manufacture and/or assembly of various electronic computers, and computer peripheral equipment, such as storage devices and input/output devices (printers, monitors, keyboards). Computers can be analog, digital, or hybrid. Digital computers, the most common type, are devices that do all the following: (1) store the processing program or programs and the data immediately necessary for the execution of the program, (2) can be freely programmed in accordance with the requirements of the user, (3) perform arithmetical computations specified by the user and (4) execute, without human intervention, a processing program that requires the computer to modify its execution by logical decision during the processing run. Analog computers are capable of simulating mathematical models and comprise at least analog control and programming elements. This class includes: Manufacture of desktop computers Manufacture of laptop computers Manufacture of main frame computers Manufacture of hand-held computers (e.g. PDA) Manufacture of magnetic disk drives, flash drives and other storage devices Manufacture of optical (e.g. CD-RW, CD- ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW) disk drive Manufacture of printers Manufacture of monitors Manufacture of keyboards Manufacture of all types of mice, joysticks and trackball accessories Manufacture of dedicated computer terminals Manufacture of computer servers Manufacture of scanners, including bar code scanners Manufacture of smart card readers Manufacture of virtual reality helmets Manufacture of computer projectors (video beamers) Manufacture of computer terminals, like automatic teller machines (ATM's), point-of- scale (POS) terminals, not mechanically operated Manufacture of multi-function office equipment, such as fax-scanner-copier combinations This class excludes: Reproduction of recorded media (computer media, sound, video, etc.), see 1820; Manufacture of electronic components and electronic assemblies used in computers and peripherals, see 261; Manufacture of internal/external computer modems, see 261; Manufacture of interface cards, modules and assemblies, see 261; Manufacture of modems, carrier equipment, see 2630; Manufacture of digital communication switches, data communications equipment (e.g. bridges, routers, gateways, see 2630; Manufacture of consumer electronic devices, such as CD players and DVD players, see 2640; Manufacture of television monitors and displays, see 2640; Manufacture of video game consoles, see 2640; Manufacture of blank optical and magnetic media for use with computers or other devices, see 2680.

FAQ

What does PSIC Class 2612 cover?

PSIC Class 2612 is the four-digit layer that sits just above the final subclasses and usually defines the activity family for Manufacture of semi-conductor devices and other electronic components.

How do I compare Class 2612 with the sibling classes?

Read the neighboring classes and compare the exact wording of the child subclasses. Nearby options include 2611 Manufacture of electronic valves and tubes.

Why does Class 2612 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.
