Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 334516 covers establishments manufacturing instruments that analyze the chemical or physical composition of samples through laboratory testing. The key distinction is purpose: these instruments are designed specifically for analyzing sample composition in laboratory settings, whereas 334513 covers instruments that monitor and control industrial process variables in ongoing production environments, and 334515 covers instruments that measure electrical characteristics rather than chemical or physical composition of materials.
