                                                 Assembly of the component parts of manufactured products, either self-produced or purchased from other businesses, is considered manufacturing. For example, assembly of self-manufactured prefabricated components at a construction site is considered manufacturing, as the assembly is incidental to the manufacturing activity. Conversely, when undertaken as a primary activity, the on-site assembly of components manufactured by others is considered to be construction.

Mining                                           Means businesses that mainly extract naturally occurring mineral solids, such as coal and ores; liquid minerals, such as crude petroleum; and gases, such as natural gas.  The term mining is used in the broad sense to include underground or open cut mining; dredging; quarrying; well operations or evaporation pans; recovery from ore dumps or tailings as well as beneficiation activities (i.e. preparing, including crushing, screening, washing and flotation) and other preparation work customarily preformed at the mine site or as part of the mining activity.
Non-residential building construction            This class consists of units mainly engaged in the construction of non-residential buildings such as hotels, motels, hostels, hospitals, prisons or other buildings, in carrying out alterations, additions or renovation to such buildings, or in organising or managing these activities.

Other construction                               This class consists of units mainly involved in heavy and civil engineering construction, or other construction services including: land development and site preparation; building structure services; building installation services; building completion services; and other construction services (such as landscaping or the hire of construction machinery).

Other services                                   Means businesses involved in a broad range of personal services; religious, civic, professional and other interest group services; selected repair and maintenance activities; and private households employing staff.

                                                 Businesses in this division are mainly engaged in providing a range of personal care services, such as hair, beauty and diet and weight management services; providing death care services; promoting or administering religious events or activities; or promoting and defending the interests of their members.

Professional, scientific and technical services  Means businesses engaged in providing these services apply common processes where labour inputs are integral to production or service delivery.  The activities undertaken generally require a high level of expertise and training and formal (usually tertiary level) qualifications.  Businesses in this industry specialise and sell this expertise and, in most cases, equipment and materials are not major inputs.

                                                 Professional, scientific and technical services include scientific research, architecture, engineering, computer systems design,
