About this level
Practical summary
Class 7210 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under M Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities > 72 Scientific Research and Development > 721 Research and experimental development on. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Research and Experimental Development in Natural Sciences, Research and Experimental Development in Engineering and Technology, and Research and Experimental Development in Health Sciences. 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 Research and Experimental Development in Natural Sciences, Research and Experimental Development in Engineering and Technology, and Research and Experimental Development in Health Sciences. 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 Research and Experimental Development in Natural Sciences, Research and Experimental Development in Engineering and Technology, and Research and Experimental Development in Health Sciences. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.

FAQ
What does PSIC Class 7210 cover?
PSIC Class 7210 is the four-digit layer that sits just above the final subclasses and usually defines the activity family for Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering.
How do I compare Class 7210 with the sibling classes?
Read the neighboring classes and compare the exact wording of the child subclasses. Nearby options include nearby sibling codes.
Why does Class 7210 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.
