Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 334517 covers establishments manufacturing irradiation apparatus and tubes that emit ionizing radiation such as beta-rays, gamma-rays, and X-rays for medical, industrial, research, and scientific purposes. The key distinction is that this code focuses on apparatus that generate or emit radiation itself, whereas NAICS 334510 covers electromedical equipment like magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound that use other technologies for medical diagnosis and therapy. Radiation detection and monitoring instruments, by contrast, are classified in NAICS 334519.
