Excerpt
Excerpt: The Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing industries produce computers, computer peripherals, communications equipment, and similar electronic products, together with components for such products. The treatment of this subsector in NAICS differs substantially from past national classifications in all three countries, and also from other international classifications. First, in NAICS the computer and electronic product manufacturing industries have been elevated to a separate subsector that brings together in the classification the manufacture of electronic products and their components. In previous national classification systems, and in the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations, these industries are placed in machinery industries or with electrical equipment. Computer and electronic product manufacturing industries have been elevated in the hierarchy of NAICS because of the economic importance they have attained, because their rapid growth suggests that they will become even more important in the economies of all three North American countries in the future, and because their manufacturing processes are fundamentally different from the manufacturing processes of other machinery and electrical components with which they have been grouped in the past, and are grouped in ISIC.
