About this level

Practical summary

Class 2829 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 Machinery for Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Industries, Manufacture of Machinery for Working Rubber or Plastic or for the Manufacture of Products of These Materials, and Manufacture of Printing-trade Machinery and Equipment. 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 Machinery for Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Industries, Manufacture of Machinery for Working Rubber or Plastic or for the Manufacture of Products of These Materials, and Manufacture of Printing-trade Machinery and Equipment. 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 Machinery for Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Industries, Manufacture of Machinery for Working Rubber or Plastic or for the Manufacture of Products of These Materials, and Manufacture of Printing-trade Machinery and Equipment. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.

FAQ

What does PSIC Class 2829 cover?

PSIC Class 2829 is the four-digit layer that sits just above the final subclasses and usually defines the activity family for Manufacture of other special-purpose machinery.

How do I compare Class 2829 with the sibling classes?

Read the neighboring classes and compare the exact wording of the child subclasses. Nearby options include 2821 Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery and 2822 Manufacture of metal-forming machinery and machine tools.

Why does Class 2829 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.
