About manufacture of instruments and appliances for measuring, testing and navigation

NACE code 26.51 covers the manufacture of a wide range of instruments and appliances used for measuring, testing, and navigation purposes. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting various sectors of the economy, from scientific research and development to transportation and industrial production. The products generated by this industry are essential for ensuring accuracy, quality control, and safety across a diverse range of applications.

Production process

The manufacture of instruments and appliances for measuring, testing, and navigation typically involves precision engineering, advanced electronics, and specialized production techniques. This may include the assembly of complex components, the calibration of sensitive instruments, and the integration of software and hardware systems to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include a range of raw materials such as metals, plastics, and electronic components. Additionally, specialized machinery, tools, and testing equipment are necessary for the production and calibration of the final products. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and quality control personnel, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 26.51 are a diverse array of instruments and appliances used for measuring, testing, and navigation purposes. These products may be consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, including 72.19 Other research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering, 33.13 Repair of electronic and optical equipment, and 49.50 Transport via pipeline.
