NAICS 335910

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the federal standard for classifying business establishments to collect, analyze, and publish statistics about the U.S. economy. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget and adopted in 1997 to replace SIC, NAICS is jointly maintained by the U.S. Economic Classification Policy Committee, Statistics Canada, and Mexico’s INEGI; the current vintage is 2022. ¹
NAICS 335910 — Battery Manufacturing — covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing primary (nonrechargeable) and storage (rechargeable) batteries. Federal statistical programs use this code to tabulate industry data across surveys and the Economic Census. ²

Frequently asked questions

• How is NAICS 335910 defined?
  NAICS 335910 comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing primary (nonrechargeable) and storage (rechargeable) batteries. This national six‑digit industry is part of NAICS 3359 (Other Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing). ²

• Which products are included under NAICS 335910?
  Included are primary and storage batteries and battery packs classified as batteries. Official NAICS examples historically associated with this space include lead‑acid and nickel‑cadmium storage batteries and primary dry cells, among others. ³

• Which PSCs commonly align with battery buys?
  PSC 6135 (Batteries, nonrechargeable) and 6140 (Batteries, rechargeable) are the standard product codes for battery commodities in federal procurement. ⁵

• Are battery chargers or standalone power supplies included in NAICS 335910?
  NAICS cross‑references place power converters/power supplies in NAICS 335999; batteries themselves are classified in NAICS 33591/335910. Battery chargers are therefore classified outside 335910 per cross‑reference logic. ³

• Where are official statistics for NAICS 335910 published?
  The U.S. Census Bureau publishes industry statistics in the Economic Census (2022 vintage uses 2022 NAICS) and related tables on data.census.gov; users can access releases by sector and industry. ⁴
