Official note
Source-backed description
Manufacturing includes the physical or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products. The raw materials are products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining or quarrying as well as products of other manufacturing activities. Substantial alteration, renovation or reconstruction of goods is generally considered as manufacturing. Manufacturing units are described as plants, factories or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines and materials- handling equipment. Units that transform materials into new products by hand, in the worker's home, or sell products made on the same premises from which they are sold are also included here. Manufacturing units may process materials or may contract with other units to process their materials for them. Both types of units are included in manufacturing.
