Detailed structure and explanatory notes
ISIC Rev.3 code 3312Structure
This class includes manufacture of:
- sensitive balances.
- drawing marking-out or mathematical calculating instruments including instruments for measuring length for use in the hand (e.g. measuring rods and tapes, micrometers, callipers and gauges).
- microscopes other than optical microscopes and diffraction apparatus.
- apparatus for measuring and checking electrical quantities (e.g. oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers; and instruments for checking current, voltage, resistance) with or without a recording device.
- apparatus for measuring or checking non-electrical quantities (e.g. radiation detectors and counters, instruments and apparatus specially designed for telecommunications such as cross-talk meters and apparatus for testing and regulating vehicle motors).
- automatic regulating or controlling instruments and apparatus (e.g. thermostats, pressure controllers, level regulators, humidity regulators, oven-draught regulators; and automatic regulators of electrical quantities), except industrial process control equipment.
- navigational, meteorological, geophysical and related instruments and apparatus (e.g. surveying instruments such as theodolites) oceanographic or hydrological instruments, seismometers, rangefinders, automatic pilots, sextants, ultrasonic sounding instruments, and special instruments for air navigation.
- radar apparatus and radio remote control apparatus.
- electricity supply meters and supply meters for water or gas.
- machines and appliances for testing the physical properties of materials: machines and apparatus for testing hardness and other properties of metals; for testing wear and tear and other properties of textiles; aid for testing the physical properties of paper, linoleum, plastics, rubber, wood, concrete and other materials.
- instruments and apparatus for carrying out physical or chemical analyses (e.g. polarimeters, refractometers, colorimeters, Orsob's apparatus, pH-meters, viseometers, surface tension instruments).
- instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking the flow, level, pressure or other variables of liquids or gases (e.g. flow meters, level gauges, manometers, heat meters), except industrial process control equipment.
- other measuring, checking or testing instruments, apparatus or machines (e.g. hydrometers, thermometers, barometers, revolution counters, taximeters, pedometers, tachometers, balancing machines, test benches, comparators (including optical comparators and other optical-type measuring and checking appliances and instruments)), instruments for checking watches or watch parts, etc., except industrial process control equipment.
