Frequently asked questions
I am a toolmaker building moulds for die casting and injection moulding — is that ATECO code 25.63.20?
Yes. Die holders and stamping moulds are at the heart of 25.63.20, with the sole exclusion of ingot moulds. If instead you produce drill bits, milling cutters, or interchangeable blades, the code is 25.63.12.
I make moulds for plastics — does that fall under 25.63.20 or under the plastics machinery code?
Usually 25.63.20 if you are producing the mould itself, regardless of the material that will be injected into it. The machine that injects the plastic into the mould is classified under 28.96.00.
I manufacture ingot moulds for metal casting — does that fall under 25.63.20?
No, ingot moulds are explicitly excluded from 25.63.20. They remain linked to the metal melting and casting process, in class 24.5 — for example 24.52.00. Code 25.63.20 covers die holders and stamping moulds.
I turn and mill metal blocks that become the finished mould — is that general mechanical engineering or 25.63.20?
Usually 25.63.20 if the product that comes out is the finished mould, because what counts is the manufactured item. If instead you machine miscellaneous third-party parts without a defined product of your own, the material-removal work falls under general mechanical engineering, classified at 25.53.00.
