WORKSHOP EQUIPMENT, e.g. FOR MARKING-OUT WORK; STORAGE MEANS FOR WORKSHOPS (storing or packaging B65)

Introduced: September 1968

Description

B25H covers stationary and semi-portable workshop equipment used primarily for marking-out, layout, and organization of work tasks, as well as storage and containment systems for workshop environments. This includes marking and measuring devices (scribers, gauges, layout tools), workbenches, vises, clamps, clamping systems, and storage furniture such as tool cabinets, shelving, and organizational systems designed for workshops. The classification excludes portable hand tools and power-driven tools (covered under B25B-B25G) and specialized machinery for specific manufacturing processes, focusing instead on general-purpose workshop infrastructure and preparatory marking equipment.
