WORKING OR PRESERVING WOOD OR SIMILAR MATERIAL; NAILING OR STAPLING MACHINES IN GENERAL

Description

B27 covers machines and processes for working, treating, and preserving wood and wood-like materials, including sawing, planing, shaping, and finishing operations. It also encompasses nailing and stapling machinery used across various industries for fastening applications. The class includes both manual and automated equipment for wood processing, as well as methods for wood preservation and surface treatment. Adjacent classes handle chemical wood treatment (C09B) and specialized woodworking for furniture or construction components addressed elsewhere in the B classification.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 11 subcodes exist in both systems.

9 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
