What C includes

Production here refers to the physical or chemical transformation of matter or its components into a new product. Although this definition cannot be used as the sole criterion for defining "production" (see note on waste processing below), the transformed matter or components are raw materials produced in agriculture, forestry, mining, or quarrying, as well as products of other manufacturing activities. The visible transformation, improvement, or re-creation of goods is also considered production.
Production units are often called factories, mills, or quarries, and they utilize electrically driven machinery or material handling equipment. However, units that transform matter into new products manually or in the workers' homes and sell the products to the public at the same location where production takes place, such as bakeries and tailor shops, are also classified as production.
A production unit may transform the material itself or contract another unit to perform the transformation; this is also considered production. The output of a manufacturing process may be produced completely in terms of readiness for use or consumption, or it may be only a semi-finished product to be used as raw material for further manufacturing. For example, the output of pure alumina is a raw material for the production of primary aluminum, and primary aluminum is a raw material for drawing aluminum wire, and aluminum wire is a raw material for the production of wire products.
The production of specific components/parts and accessories/accessories for machinery and equipment is generally classified in the same subgroup as the production of machinery and equipment in which such components and accessories are shared. For the production of general machinery and equipment components and parts, such as engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical components, valves, gears, and roller bearings, they are classified in the appropriate subgroup of the manufacturing sector, regardless of whether the machinery and equipment contains these items. However, the production of parts and accessories by casting or extruding plastic materials is classified in a different section. The assembly of product parts is classified under group 222
(Assembly of Product Components), which includes the assembly of product parts from components, whether manufactured in-house or purchased.
The reuse of waste, such as the processing of waste into secondary raw materials, is classified under class 3830 (Recycling of Used Materials), which includes physical or chemical alterations not considered part of manufacturing. The primary purpose of these activities is the treatment or processing of waste, which is classified under section E (Water Supply, Wastewater Management and Treatment, Waste and Sanitation). However, the remanufacturing of final products (that are not for further production) is classified under manufacturing, even if it involves processing using waste as raw materials. For example, the remanufacturing of silver from unusable film is classified under manufacturing.
Maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment is also classified under manufacturing. It is classified under division 33 (Repair and installation of machinery and equipment). However, the repair of computers and personal and household goods is classified under division 95 (repair computers, personal goods, and household goods), while the repair of motor vehicles is classified under division 45 (wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles).
The installation of machinery and equipment, which is carried out as a specific activity, is classified under activity 33200.
Note: The boundary between manufacturing and other categories in this classification system is still somewhat unclear. As a general rule, activities in the manufacturing sector are the transformation of materials into new products, and the output of such activities is the new product. However, the definition of "what constitutes the creation of a new product" may sometimes require individual judgment. Therefore, for clarity, the following activities in the ISIC are classified under manufacturing: - Processing of aquatic animals (oyster shucking) - Processing of aquatic animals (not on fishing vessels) is classified in major group 102. - Pasteurization and bottling of milk is classified in activity 10501. - Processing of tanned leather is classified in activity 15110. - Drying and impregnating of wood for preservation is classified in activity 16102. - Printing and related service activities are classified in classes 1811 and 1812. - Production of ready-mixed concrete is classified in activity 23953. - Electroplating, metal plating, heat treatment, and polishing are classified in class 2592. - Construction or manufacturing of new machinery is classified according to type of machinery (e.g., manufacturing of motor vehicle engines is classified in activity 29101). - Retreading of tires.

What C excludes

Conversely, some activities related to transformation processes are classified in other major categories of ISIC (or in other words, not classified as production), including: - Timber processing is classified in major section A (Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries). - Improvement of agricultural products is classified in major section A (Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries). - Processing of ores and other minerals is classified in major section B (Mining and Quarrying). - Construction of buildings and assembly of building components carried out at the construction site is classified in major section F (Construction). - Activities of repackaging and retailing smaller quantities of goods, including repackaging, re-packaging, and bottling of products such as liquors or chemicals; sorting of unusable scrap; custom paint mixing; custom steel cutting; and remanufacturing of existing products are classified in major section G (Wholesale and Retail).
