It defines industrial purposes as: Factories and other premises used for manufacturing, altering, repairing, cleaning, washing, breaking-up, adapting or processing any article; generating power or slaughtering livestock.

a building designed to house industrial operations and provide the necessary conditions for workers and the operation of industrial equipment.
Distinctly “industrial” buildings first appeared during the industrial revolution, when a need arose for large buildings to house machinery and large numbers of workers. The first industrial buildings, rectangular in plan and supported by brick or stone walls and wooden roofs, were like those at the Strutt and Need factory in Belper, Derbyshire, Great Britain (1771). Strictly functional designs prevailed; long, unplastered walls were often divided only by pilasters and decorated with bands of ornamental masonry. Decorative elements of various architectural styles were sometimes used for the exteriors of industrial buildings; for example, classicistic motifs are found in the architecture of factories in the Urals built in the late 18th century and the first half of the 19th. This tradition was maintained in the construction of many industrial buildings up to the early 20th century.
