322 - Paper Manufacturing

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing pulp, paper and paper products. The manufacture of pulp involves separating the cellulose fibres from other impurities in wood, used paper or other fibre sources. The manufacture of paper involves matting these fibres into a sheet. Converted paper products are produced from paper and other materials by various cutting and shaping techniques.

323 - Printing and Related Support Activities

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in printing and providing related support activities.

324 - Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in transforming crude petroleum and coal into intermediate and end products. The dominant process is petroleum refining, which separates crude petroleum into components or fractions through such techniques as cracking and distillation.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:

  • manufacturing chemicals and chemical preparations from refined petroleum and coal products (See 325 Chemical Manufacturing)

325 - Chemical Manufacturing

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing chemicals and chemical preparations, from organic and inorganic raw materials.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:

  • field processing of crude petroleum and natural gas (See 211 Oil and Gas Extraction)
  • beneficiating mineral ores (See 212 Mining (except Oil and Gas))
  • processing crude petroleum and coal (See 324 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing)
  • smelting and refining ores and concentrates (See 331 Primary Metal Manufacturing)

326 - Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing

This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in making goods by processing raw rubber and plastics materials. Rubber- and plastics-based activities are combined in the same subsector because the technical properties of these polymers are related.

Generally, establishments classified in this subsector manufacture products made of just one material, rubber or plastics, with the major exception of tire manufacturing.

• Exclusion(s):

  Establishments primarily engaged in:

  • manufacturing synthetic resins from basic organic chemicals (See 325210 Resin and Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing)
  • compounding plastics resins from recycled materials (See 32599 All Other Chemical Product Manufacturing)
