  1. 28Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.

    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/ATECO activity or a small cluster of NACE/ATECO activities, and general-purpose machinery, in other words, machinery that is being used in a wide range of NACE/ATECO 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).
