About this level

Practical summary

Class 2826 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 28 Manufacture of Machinery and Equipment, n.e.c. > 282 Manufacture of special purpose machinery. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Manufacture of Textile Machinery, Manufacture of Machineries for Man-made Textile Fibers or Yarns, and Manufacture of Sewing Machines. 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 Textile Machinery, Manufacture of Machineries for Man-made Textile Fibers or Yarns, and Manufacture of Sewing Machines. 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 Textile Machinery, Manufacture of Machineries for Man-made Textile Fibers or Yarns, and Manufacture of Sewing Machines. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.
