About this level

Practical summary

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.
