Includes
This division includes the manufacture of machinery and equipment that act independently on materials either mechanically or thermally or perform operations on materials (for example, handling, spraying, weighing or packing), including their mechanical components that produce and apply force, and any specially manufactured primary parts. This includes the manufacture of fixed and mobile or handheld devices, regardless of whether they are designed for industrial, building and civil engineering, agricultural or home use. The manufacture of special equipment for passenger or freight transport within demarcated premises also belongs within this division. This division distinguishes between the manufacture of special-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery for exclusive use in a NACE activity or a small cluster of NACE activities, and general-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery that is being used in a wide range of NACE activities.
This division also includes the manufacture of other special-purpose machinery, not covered elsewhere in the classification, whether or not used in a manufacturing process (for example, fairground amusement equipment, automatic bowling alley equipment).
Excludes
This division excludes the manufacture of metal products for general use (division 25), associated control devices, computer equipment, measurement and testing equipment, electricity distribution and control apparatus (divisions 26 and 27) and general-purpose motor vehicles (division 29).
