255302 Other machining of metals

Information: This code has a codification rule

This type includes:

  • cutting of and engraving or writing on metals by means of laser beams
  • additive manufacturing of metalwork pieces

This type excludes:

  • manufacture of hardware, e.g. padlocks, locks, keys, hinges, see 256200

  • manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, see 251100

  • manufacture of doors and windows of metal, see 251200

Activities under 255301 and 255302 typically involve the manufacture of intermediate products, such as components for various machines. These activities are often carried out by contractors on a fee or contract basis. However, most units that describe themselves as "mechanical workshops" often perform specialized tasks that fall under other codes outside of Group 2553. The key criterion for classification is the end product that is produced.
