Consumer durables are durable goods acquired by households for final consumption (i.e. those that are not used by households as stores of value or by unincorporated enterprises owned by households for purposes of production); they may be used for purposes of consumption repeatedly or continuously over a period of a year or more. (SNA)

One of the three fundamental principles underlying the I-O accounts. Under this principle, the data compiled from one source are comparable with the data compiled from another source. For example, in accordance with this principle, the estimates shown in the I-O accounts should be consistent with the underlying source data and with the estimates shown […]

By this assumption, the production of each commodity requires a unique set of inputs no matter which industry produces that commodity.
