Frequently asked questions
I make water and gas meters and laboratory precision balances — is the code 26.51.29 or the clockwork-movement code for meters?
Yes, water, gas and electricity consumption meters and laboratory precision balances belong in 26.51.29, which covers measuring and testing instruments not classified elsewhere. Do not confuse consumption meters with timekeeping devices: parking meters and timing devices with clockwork movements fall under 26.52.00.
I make metal detectors and blood-analysis instruments — is that 26.51.29 or the electro-medical code?
It depends on the intended use. Metal detectors, laboratory instruments and blood-analysis apparatus belong in 26.51.29. But if the device is an electro-medical apparatus for diagnosis or treatment on a patient — such as an electrocardiograph — the code becomes 26.60.01. The deciding factor is whether the instrument measures in a laboratory or acts on the patient's body.
I make vehicle-emission analysis equipment and industrial thermometers — do those fall under 26.51.29?
Yes, motor-vehicle emission analysis equipment and non-medical liquid-in-glass or bimetallic thermometers are explicitly listed among the activities of 26.51.29. The rule is that they measure and analyse physical properties. Medical thermometers are excluded and follow the medical instrumentation of class 32.50, not this code.
I make radiation monitoring instruments — is that 26.51.29 or the irradiation equipment code?
Usually 26.51.29, because instruments that monitor and detect radiation are measuring devices and are listed here. The boundary with those who build apparatus that emits radiation is clear: an irradiation system for industrial use belongs in 26.60.02. The point is whether the device measures radiation or generates it.
