Practical summary
Group 821 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under N Administrative and Support Service Activities > 82 Office Administrative, Office Support and other Business Support Activities. This group usually narrows the choice to a small family of classes such as Photocopying, document preparation and other specialized office support activities and Combined Office Administrative Service Activities. It is useful when two or three neighboring activities look similar but should not be collapsed into one code.
