NAICS 334610
Overview
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the federal statistical standard for classifying business establishments, maintained by the Office of Management and Budget and revised on a five-year cycle; the latest structure is the 2022 vintage. It provides a consistent, production-oriented framework across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico for economic data collection and reporting. 1
NAICS 334610 covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing magnetic and optical media (for example, blank audio/video tape and blank diskettes) and/or mass reproducing audio, video, software, and other data onto magnetic, optical, or similar media. It is distinct from software publishing and motion picture or sound production/distribution activities. 3
