About this level
Practical summary
Division 33 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing. This division collects tightly related groups, with child examples such as Repair of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment and Installation of Industrial Machinery and Equipment. It is the main bridge between a broad sector label and the more precise groups below it.
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 Repair of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment and Installation of Industrial Machinery and Equipment. 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 Repair of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment and Installation of Industrial Machinery and Equipment and move to the group that best matches the real activity, not the marketing description.
Official note
Source-backed description
This division includes the specialized repair of goods produced in the manufacturing sector with the aim to restore machinery, equipment and other products to working order. The provision of general or routine maintenance (i.e. servicing) on such products to ensure they work efficiently and to prevent breakdown and unnecessary repairs is included. This division does only include specialized repair and maintenance activities. A substantial amount of repair is also done by manufacturers of machinery, equipment and other goods, in which case the classification of units engaged in these repair and manufacturing activities is done according to the value-added principle which would often assign these combined activities to the manufacture of the good. The same principle is applied for combined trade and repair. The rebuilding or remanufacturing of machinery and equipment is considered a manufacturing activity and included in other divisions of this section. Repair and maintenance of goods that are utilized as capital goods as well as consumer goods is typically classified as repair and maintenance of household goods (e.g. office and household furniture repair, see 9524). Also included in this division is the specialized installation of machinery. However, the installation of equipment that forms an integral part of buildings or similar structures, such as installation of electrical wiring, installation of escalators or installation of air-conditioning systems, is classified as construction. This division excludes cleaning of industrial machinery, see 8129; repair and maintenance of computers and communication equipment, see 951; repair and maintenance of household goods, see 952.
