NAICS 541713
What is the NAICS code 541713?
The NAICS code 541713 is applied to those industries related to Research and Development in Nanotechnology.
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in conducting nanotechnology research and experimental development. Nanotechnology research and experimental development involves the study of matter at the nanoscale (i.e., a scale of about 1 to 100 nanometers). This research and development in nanotechnology may result in development of new nanotechnology processes or in prototypes of new or altered materials and/or products that may be reproduced, utilized, or implemented by various industries.
Therefore, all companies engaged in any industrial activity related to this type of business are grouped under category 541713 in the North American Industry Classification System.
This industrial activity of NAICS code is structured as follows:
- 54 - Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services
- 541 - Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services
- 5417 - Scientific Research and Development Services
- 54171 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences
- 541713 - Research and Development in Nanotechnology
