C: MANUFACTURING

It includes physical or chemical transformation of materials, substances or components into new products, though such description is not the single universal criterion for defining manufacturing (see the remark on processing of waste below). Materials, substances or components transformed are raw materials that are products of agriculture, forestry, aquaculture, mining or quarrying, or other manufacturing activities. Alteration, renovation or reconstruction of goods is generally considered activities of manufacturing. Units involved in manufacturing include plants, factories or mills or characteristic power-driven machines and material-handling equipment. However, units that transform materials or substances into products by hand in a factor or in the worker’s house. This section also includes units engaged in selling to the general public the products made on the same premises from which they are sold, e.g. bakeries or tailors. Manufacturing units also process materials or enter contracts with other units that process the formers’ materials. Both types of units are included in manufacturing;

The output of a manufacturing process may be finished in the sense that the product is ready for end-user consumption or it is a semi-finished input for further manufacturing. For instance: The output of alumina refining is the input for primary production of aluminum while primary aluminum is the input to the drawing of aluminum wire, which is input for the production of synthetic wire fabrication.

Assembly activities connected with the making of manufactured products are considered manufacturing. This section includes factories’ assembly of goods or semi-finished products or procurement of components.

Production of specialized components, parts, accessories and attachments to machinery and equipment is, on principle, classified in the same class as the Production of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended. Production of unspecialized components and parts of machinery and equipment, e.g. engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, bicycle valves, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items are included. Nevertheless, the making of separate components and accessories by moulding or extruding plastics materials is included in class 2220 (Manufacture of plastics products). Assembly of the component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing. This includes the assembly of manufactured products from either self-produced or purchased components.

The recovery of waste, i.e. the processing of waste into secondary raw materials, is classified in class 3830 (Materials recovery). While this may involve physical or chemical transformations, this is not considered to be a part of manufacturing. The primary purpose of these activities is considered to be the treatment or processing of waste and they are therefore classified in Section E (Water supply; sewage and waste management and remediation activities). However, the Production of new final products (as opposed to secondary raw materials) is classified in manufacturing, even if these processes use waste as an input. For example, the production of silver from film waste is considered to be a manufacturing process.

Specialized maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment are, in general, classified in division 33 (Repair, maintenance and installation of machinery and equipment). However, the repair of computers, personal and household goods is classified in division 95 (Repair of computers, personal and household goods), while the repair of motorcycles and motor vehicles is classified in division 45 (Sale and repair of automobile, motor vehicles and motorcycles).

The installation of machinery and equipment, when carried out as a specialized activity, is classified in 33200 (Installation of industrial machinery and equipment).

Remark: The boundaries of manufacturing and the other sectors of the classification system are blurry. As a general rule, the activities in the manufacturing section involve the transformation of materials into new products. Their output is a new product. However, the definition of what constitutes a new product can be somewhat subjective;

As clarification, the following activities are considered manufacturing in the sector classification system:

- Bottling and pasteurizing of milk, under class 10500 (Processing milk and dairy products);

- Fresh fish processing (fish filleting), which is not performed on a fishing vessel, under class 1020 (Processing and preserving of fish and aquatic products);

- Printing and related activities, under group 181 (Printing and related services);

- Manufacture and mixing of concrete, under class 23950 (Manufacture of articles of concrete, cement and plaster);

- Leather converting, under class 15110 (Tanning and dressing of leather; dressing and dyeing of fur);

- Wood preserving, under class 1610 (Sawmilling and planing of wood);

- Electroplating, metal heat treating and polishing, under class 25920 (Machining; treatment and coating of metals);

- Rebuilding or remanufacturing of machinery and equipment (e.g. automobile engines), under class 29100 (Manufacture of motor vehicles);

- Tyre retreading, under class 22110 (Manufacture of rubber tyres and tubes; retreading and rebuilding of rubber tyres).

Conversely, there are activities that, although sometimes involving transformation processes, are classified in other sections of the sector classification system. In other words, they are not classified in section C (Manufacturing). They include:

- Logging, classified in section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing);

- Beneficiation of agricultural products, classified in section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing);

- Beneficiation of ores and other minerals, classified in section B (Mining and quarrying);

- Construction of structures and manufacturing operations performed at the site of construction, classified in section F (Construction);

- Activities of unloading, breaking and redistributing goods in smaller lots, including packaging or bottling of products, such as liquors or chemicals, computerized introduction of detailed products to customers, etc. are classified to section G (Wholesale and retail trade, repair of automobile, motor vehicles and motorcycles).

10: MANUFACTURE OF FOOD PRODUCTS

This division includes the activities of processing of the products of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing into food and drink for humans or animals. It also includes the production of various intermediate products that are not directly food products. The activity often generates associated products of greater or lesser value (for example, hides from slaughtering, or production of oilcake from oil-bearing crops).

This division also includes the activities dealing with different kinds of products: meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, fats and oils, dairy products, rice mill products, animal feeds and other food products and beverages. Production can be carried out for one's own account or for third parties, as in traditional slaughtering.

Some activities are considered manufacturing (for example, those performed in bakeries, pastry shops, and prepared meat shops, etc., which sell their own products) even though there is retail sale of the products in the producers' own shop. However, where the processing is minimal and does not lead to a real transformation, the unit is classified to Section G (Wholesale and retail trade, repair of automobile, motor vehicles and motorcycles).

Production of animal feeds from slaughter waste or by-products is classified in class 1080 (Manufacture of feeds for cattle, poultry and aquatic animals).

Processing of food and beverage waste into secondary raw material is classified to 3830 (Materials recovery) while disposal of food and beverage waste is classified in 38210 (Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste).

31: MANUFACTURE OF FURNITURE

This division includes:

Manufacture of furniture and related products of any material except stone, concrete and ceramics. The processes used in the manufacture of furniture are standard methods of forming materials and assembling components, including cutting, moulding and laminating. The design of the articles, for both aesthetic and functional qualities, is an important aspect of the production process.

Some of the processes used in furniture production are similar to processes that are used in other segments of manufacturing. For example, the process of cutting and assembly in the production of wood are classified in division 16 (Manufacture of wood and wood products). However, the multiple processes distinguish the production of wood furniture from the manufacture of wood products. Similarly, the manufacture of metal furniture uses techniques that are also employed in the production of roll-formed products classified in division 25 (Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment). The moulding process for plastic furniture is similar to the moulding of other plastics products. However, the manufacture of plastic furniture tends to be a specialized activity.
