Which code does this activity belong in?

Explosives Manufacturing comprises establishments whose primary activity is manufacturing explosives. This code is most often confused with All Other Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing, which covers the manufacture of pyrotechnics such as flares, flashlight bombs, and signals. The distinction rests on whether the establishment's primary output is explosives themselves versus other chemical products that may contain explosive components or have pyrotechnic properties as secondary applications.
