Variant of NAICS 2002 - Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Sector

6.2 - Industries not included in the Information and Communication Technology Sector

This special aggregation comprises all NAICS that do not relate to information and communication technology products.

31-33E - Manufacturing, except ICT

This special aggregation 'Manufacturing, except ICT' comprises the portion of NAICS sector 31-33 'Manufacturing' that does not relate to information and communication technology products

The NAICS sector 31-33 'Manufacturing' comprises establishments primarily engaged in the physical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products. These products may be finished, in the sense that they are ready to be used or consumed, or semi-finished, in the sense of becoming a raw material for an establishment to use in further manufacturing. Related activities, such as the assembly of the component parts of manufactured goods; the blending of materials; and the finishing of manufactured products by dyeing, heat-treating, plating and similar operations are also treated as manufacturing activities. Manufacturing establishments are known by a variety of trade designations, such as plants, factories or mills.

Manufacturing establishments may own the materials which they transform or they may transform materials owned by other establishments. Manufacturing may take place in factories or in workers' homes, using either machinery or hand tools.

Certain activities involving the transformation of goods are classified in other sectors. Some examples are post-harvest activities of agricultural establishments, such as crop drying; logging; the beneficiating of mineral ores; the production of structures by construction establishments; and various activities conducted by retailers, such as meat cutting and the assembly of products such as bicycles and computers.

331 - Primary Metal Manufacturing

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in smelting and refining ferrous and non-ferrous metals from ore, pig or scrap in blast or electric furnaces. Metal alloys are made with the introduction of other chemical elements. The output of smelting and refining, usually in ingot form, is used in rolling and drawing operations to produce sheet, strip, bars, rods and wire, and in molten form to produce castings and other basic metal products.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:
  

  • manufacturing metal forgings or stampings (See 332 Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing)

3314 - Non-Ferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Production and Processing

This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in smelting, refining, rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying non-ferrous metal, except aluminum.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:
  

  • smelting, refining, rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying aluminum (See 3313 Alumina and Aluminum Production and Processing)

33141 - Non-Ferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Smelting and Refining

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in smelting non-ferrous metals, except aluminum, from ores; and refining these metals by electrolytic or other processes. Establishments engaged in secondary activities, such as rolling or extruding basic shapes, from metal produced in the same establishment, are included.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:
  

  • producing bullion at a mine site (See 21222 Gold and Silver Ore Mining)
  • aluminum smelting and refining (See 33131 Alumina and Aluminum Production and Processing)
  • rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying purchased copper (See 33142 Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding and Alloying)
  • rolling, drawing, extruding and alloying purchased non-ferrous metals, except aluminum and copper (See 33149 Non-Ferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, Extruding and Alloying)

33142 - Copper Rolling, Drawing, Extruding and Alloying

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in rolling, drawing, extruding and re-alloying copper, brass, bronze and other copper-based alloys, to produce products such as plates, sheets, strips, bars, wire and tubing, and specialty alloys. Establishments primarily engaged in drawing copper wire (whether or not the establishment further works the wire by such operations as insulating it); and in recovering copper from scrap, are included.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:
  

  • manufacturing copper and copper alloy products in a smelter or refinery (See 33141 Non-Ferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Smelting and Refining)
  • casting copper (See 33152 Non-Ferrous Metal Foundries)
  • insulating purchased copper wire and cable (See 33592 Communication and Energy Wire and Cable Manufacturing)

33149 - Non-Ferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum) Rolling, Drawing, Extruding and Alloying

This industry comprises establishments, not classified to any other industry, primarily engaged in rolling, drawing, extruding and re-alloying non-ferrous metals, to produce products such as plates, sheets, strips, bars, wire and tubing, and specialty alloys. Establishments primarily engaged in drawing wire of these metals are included (whether or not the establishment further works the wire by such operations as insulating it); and in recovering these metals from scrap, are included.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:
  

  • manufacturing non-ferrous metal (except aluminum) products in a smelter or refinery (See 33141 Non-Ferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Smelting and Refining)
  • insulating purchased wire and cable (See 33592 Communication and Energy Wire and Cable Manufacturing)
