About frames and mountings for spectacles, goggles or the like

cpc code 48313 covers the production of frames and mountings for spectacles, goggles, and other similar eyewear. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader optical goods and vision care sector, providing the essential components that allow consumers to access and utilize corrective and protective eyewear. As a key supplier to the eyewear industry, the frames and mountings produced under this code contribute significantly to the overall economy by supporting the manufacture and distribution of a wide range of vision-related products.

Production process

The production of frames and mountings for spectacles, goggles, and the like typically involves a combination of metalworking, plastics processing, and assembly techniques. Manufacturers may utilize processes such as stamping, casting, or injection molding to shape the frame components, followed by assembly steps that attach the various parts, including hinges, nose pads, and temple pieces. Advanced techniques like laser cutting or 3D printing may also be employed to create more complex or customized frame designs.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of frames and mountings under cpc code 48313 include a variety of raw materials, such as metals (e.g., titanium, stainless steel, aluminum), plastics (e.g., acetate, nylon, polycarbonate), and other components like screws, hinges, and nose pads. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on specialized machinery and equipment, such as stamping presses, injection molding machines, and assembly tools, to transform these inputs into the final eyewear components.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 48313 are the frames and mountings themselves, which are then consumed by manufacturers of 48314 Spectacles, goggles and the like, corrective, protective or other, 47721 Retail sale of optical goods, and 95231 Repair of watches, clocks and jewellery to produce and distribute a wide range of eyewear products. These frames and mountings are essential for the functioning of the broader optical goods and vision care industry.
