About this level

Practical summary

Group 261 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 26 Manufacture of Computer, Electronic and Optical Products. This group usually narrows the choice to a small family of classes such as Manufacture of electronic valves and tubes and Manufacture of semi-conductor devices and other electronic components. It is useful when two or three neighboring activities look similar but should not be collapsed into one code.

Administrative context

Where this code is used

This group is used when reviewers compare a short list of classes such as Manufacture of electronic valves and tubes and Manufacture of semi-conductor devices and other electronic components and need to decide which family is the closest fit. It is common in internal classification review and administrative lookup work.

Selection note

How to choose it

Use this group when the activity sits between similar classes such as Manufacture of electronic valves and tubes and Manufacture of semi-conductor devices and other electronic components. The safest choice is the one whose wording matches the actual production, service or operating model most closely.
