Group 281 - Manufacture of general purpose machinery

Group 281 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 28 Manufacture of Machinery and Equipment, n.e.c.. This group usually narrows the choice to a small family of classes such as Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, Manufacture of fluid power equipment, and Manufacture of other pumps, compressors, taps and valves. It is useful when two or three neighboring activities look similar but should not be collapsed into one code.

This group is used when reviewers compare a short list of classes such as Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, Manufacture of fluid power equipment, and Manufacture of other pumps, compressors, taps and valves and need to decide which family is the closest fit. It is common in internal classification review and administrative lookup work.

Use this group when the activity sits between similar classes such as Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, Manufacture of fluid power equipment, and Manufacture of other pumps, compressors, taps and valves. The safest choice is the one whose wording matches the actual production, service or operating model most closely.
