Which code does this activity belong in?
Small electrical appliance manufacturing encompasses establishments producing portable and smaller-scale electric devices for household use, such as fans, vacuum cleaners, space heaters, and hair dryers. The boundary with major household appliance manufacturing turns on scale and portability; establishments making built-in or larger appliances that typically remain in one location are classified in major household appliance manufacturing, while those making smaller, movable electric housewares fall within small electrical appliance manufacturing.
