Practical summary
Class 2817 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 28 Manufacture of Machinery and Equipment, n.e.c. > 281 Manufacture of general purpose machinery. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Manufacture of Calculating Machines, Adding Machines, Cash Registers, Calculators, Manufacture of Bills/coin Counting and Coin Wrapping Machinery, and Manufacture of Postage Meters, Mail Handling Machines (envelope Stuffing, Sealing and Addressing Machinery, Opening, Sorting, Scanning), Collating Machinery. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.
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 Calculating Machines, Adding Machines, Cash Registers, Calculators, Manufacture of Bills/coin Counting and Coin Wrapping Machinery, and Manufacture of Postage Meters, Mail Handling Machines (envelope Stuffing, Sealing and Addressing Machinery, Opening, Sorting, Scanning), Collating Machinery. It is the level most often checked before a five-digit decision is finalized.
How to choose it
Use this class to choose between its final subclasses such as Manufacture of Calculating Machines, Adding Machines, Cash Registers, Calculators, Manufacture of Bills/coin Counting and Coin Wrapping Machinery, and Manufacture of Postage Meters, Mail Handling Machines (envelope Stuffing, Sealing and Addressing Machinery, Opening, Sorting, Scanning), Collating Machinery. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.

FAQ
What does PSIC Class 2817 cover?
PSIC Class 2817 is the four-digit layer that sits just above the final subclasses and usually defines the activity family for Manufacture of office machinery and equipment (except computers and peripheral equipment).
How do I compare Class 2817 with the sibling classes?
Read the neighboring classes and compare the exact wording of the child subclasses. Nearby options include 2811 Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines and 2812 Manufacture of fluid power equipment.
Why does Class 2817 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.
