Administrative context

Where this code is used

This division is used when the first pass is too broad and the work needs to be split into groups such as Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electricity distribution and control apparatus, Manufacture of batteries and accumulators, and Manufacture of wiring and wiring devices. It helps with registration wording, sector analytics and review of near-miss options.

Selection note

How to choose it

Use this division as the first narrowing step. Compare child groups such as Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electricity distribution and control apparatus, Manufacture of batteries and accumulators, and Manufacture of wiring and wiring devices and move to the group that best matches the real activity, not the marketing description.
