Which code does this activity belong in?
Other Building Equipment Contractors covers installations and servicing of building equipment that falls outside the major mechanical and electrical trades. The critical boundary is that electrical contractors, including those performing wiring installation, are classified separately, as are plumbing and HVAC contractors. Establishments in 23829 handle equipment such as automated doors, lightning protection systems, insulation, conveyor systems, and similar specialized building installations that do not involve primary electrical distribution, plumbing systems, or climate control equipment.
