NAICS 541715
What is the NAICS code 541715?
The NAICS code 541715 is applied to those industries related to Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology).
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in conducting research and experimental development (except nanotechnology and biotechnology research and experimental development) in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, such as agriculture, electronics, environmental, biology, botany, computers, chemistry, food, fisheries, forests, geology, health, mathematics, medicine, oceanography, pharmacy, physics, veterinary, and other allied subjects.
Therefore, all companies engaged in any industrial activity related to this type of business are grouped under category 541715 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
- 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology)
