27%

fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Protections (Excluding Personal Protective Equipment PPE) branch runs 2 levels deep. 5 entries below are branch headings that group other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 22 codes marked terminal.

6 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 27% of the branch. An “- Other” code is the residual slot for devices its siblings do not name, so it is worth ruling out every specific sibling before settling on one.

The largest sub-branch is T0304 (Radiotherapy Protection Devices), holding 7 of the 22 terminal codes.
