The manufacture of these products is grouped together because they constitute a series of vertically connected processes. More than one activity is often carried out in a single unit. There are essentially three activities: The manufacture of pulp involves separating the cellulose fibers from other impurities in wood or used paper. The manufacture of paper involves matting these fibers into a sheet. Converted paper products are made from paper and other materials by various cutting and shaping techniques, including coating and laminating activities. The paper articles may be printed (e.g. wallpaper, gift wrap etc.), as long as the printing of information is not the main purpose. The production of pulp, paper and paperboard in bulk is included in class 1701, while the remaining classes include the production of further-processed paper and paper prod- ucts. 170 Manufacture of paper and paper products See division 17. 1701 Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard This class includes: manufacture of bleached, semi-bleached or unbleached paper pulp by mechanical, — — chemical (dissolving or non-dissolving) or semi-chemical processes manufacture of cotton-linters pulp — — removal of ink and manufacture of pulp from waste paper — — manufacture of paper and paperboard intended for further industrial processing — — This class also includes: further processing of paper and paperboard: — — coating, covering and impregnating of paper and paperboard manufacture of crêped or crinkled paper manufacture of laminates and foils, if laminated with paper or paperboard manufacture of handmade paper — — manufacture of newsprint and other printing or writing paper — — manufacture of cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres — — manufacture of carbon paper or stencil paper in rolls or large sheets — — This class excludes: manufacture of corrugated paper and paperboard, see 1702 — — manufacture of further-processed articles of paper, paperboard or pulp, see 1709 — — manufacture of coated or impregnated paper, where the coating or impregnant is the main — — ingredient, see class in which the manufacture of the coating or impregnant is classified manufacture of abrasive paper, see 2399 — —

Detailed structure and explanatory notes 107 18 Printing and reproduction of recorded media This division includes printing of products, such as newspapers, books, periodicals, busi- ness forms, greeting cards, and other materials, and associated support activities, such as bookbinding, plate-making services, and data imaging. The support activities included here are an integral part of the printing industry, and a product (a printing plate, a bound book, or a computer disk or file) that is an integral part of the printing industry is almost always provided by these operations. Processes used in printing include a variety of methods for transferring an image from a plate, screen, or computer file to a medium, such as paper, plastics, metal, textile articles, or wood. The most prominent of these methods entails the transfer of the image from a plate or screen to the medium through lithographic, gravure, screen or flexographic printing. Often a computer file is used to directly ‘’drive’’ the printing mechanism to create the image or electrostatic and other types of equipment (digital or non-impact printing). Though printing and publishing can be carried out by the same unit (a newspaper, for example), it is less and less the case that these distinct activities are carried out in the same physical location. This division also includes the reproduction of recorded media, such as compact discs, video recordings, software on discs or tapes, records etc. This division excludes publishing activities (see section J). 181 Printing and service activities related to printing This group includes printing of products, such as newspapers, books, periodicals, busi- ness forms, greeting cards, and other materials, and associated support activities, such as bookbinding, plate-making services, and data imaging. Printing can be done using various techniques and on different materials. 1811 Printing This class includes: printing of newspapers, magazines and other periodicals, books and brochures, music — — and music manuscripts, maps, atlases, posters, advertising catalogues, prospectuses and other printed advertising, postage stamps, taxation stamps, documents of title, cheques and other security papers, diaries, calendars, business forms and other com- mercial printed matter, personal stationery and other printed matter by letterpress, offset, photogravure, flexographic and other printing presses, duplication machines, computer printers, embossers etc., including quick printing printing directly onto textiles, plastic, glass, metal, wood and ceramics (except silk- — — screen printing on textiles and wearing apparel) The material printed is typically copyrighted.

The dominant process is petroleum refining, which involves the separation of crude petroleum into component products through such techniques as cracking and distilla- tion. This division also includes the manufacture for own account of characteristic prod- ucts (e.g. coke, butane, propane, petrol, kerosene, fuel oil etc.) as well as processing services (e.g. custom refining). This division includes the manufacture of gases such as ethane, propane and butane as products of petroleum refineries.
Detailed structure and explanatory notes 109 Not included is the manufacture of such gases in other units (2011), manufacture of industrial gases (2011), extraction of natural gas (methane, ethane, butane or propane) (0600), and manufacture of fuel gas, other than petroleum gases (e.g. coal gas, water gas, producer gas, gasworks gas) (35420).
