Note

In some cases where specific professional, technical or operational skills and knowledge may be required of workers at managerial level, it may be difficult to decide whether a particular job belongs in this or another sub-major group. In such cases, additional information on the main tasks of the job in question is essential. If the main tasks require the operational application of specific professional knowledge or a particular technical skill, then the job belongs in a different sub-major group. If, however, professional knowledge or technical skill serve only as a basis for managerial tasks, then the job belongs in this sub-major group. For example, if the main tasks of a job consist of diagnosing and resolving and/or repairing problems or faults, the job belongs in Major group 2, Professionals. However, if one of the main tasks is to allocate research and development funds for various projects within an enterprise or organisation on the basis of technical knowledge, then the job belongs in this sub-major group.
