Preface

Reliable and comparable international statistics can be produced and made available to business, ?nancial institutions,

governments and all other operators in the international market only if based on common statistical standards.

NACE is the "statistical classi?cation of economic activities in the European Community" 1 and is the subject of legislation at the European Union level 2 , which imposes the use of the classi?cation uniformly within all the Member States.

It is a basic element of the international integrated system of economic classi?cations, which is based on classi?cations of

the UN Statistical Commission (UNSTAT), Eurostat as well as national classi?cations; all of them strongly related each to

the others, allowing the comparability of economic statistics produced worldwide by di?erent institutions.

e present NACE Rev. 2, which is the new revised version of the NACE Rev. 1 and of its minor update NACE Rev. 1.1, is

the outcome of a major revision work of the international integrated system of economic classi?cations which took place

between 2000 and 2007. NACE Rev. 2 reects the technological developments and structural changes of the economy,

enabling the modernisation of the Community statistics and contributing, through more comparable and relevant data,

to better economic governance at both Community and national level.

Development of NACE Rev. 2 has bene?ted from the work preparing the fourth revision of the United Nations' Inter-

national Standard Industrial Classi?cation of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev. 4). Representatives from Eurostat and

Member States of the EU played an important role in this work. NACE Rev. 2 has been created based on ISIC Rev. 4 and

adapted to the European circumstances by a working group of experts on statistical classi?cations from the Member

States, candidate Countries as well as EFTA Countries, with the support and guidance of the classi?cation section at

Eurostat.

Beside the classi?cation, this publication contains also the introductory guidelines containing the main concepts, an his-

torical background and the methodological guidelines for understanding and applying NACE Rev. 2 as well as a detailed

description of the di?erent items of the classi?cation.

Introduction

and background 13 1.1 NACE and the integrated system of classications of economic activities and products 1.

NACE is the acronym

3 used to designate the various statistical classi?cations of economic activities developed since

1970 in the European Union. NACE provides the framework for collecting and presenting a large range of statistical

data according to economic activity in the ?elds of economic statistics (e.g. production, employment, national ac-

counts) and in other statistical domains. 2.

Statistics produced on the basis of NACE are comparable at European and, in general, at world level. e use of NACE is mandatory within the European Statistical System.

The international system of economic classi?cations 3.

e comparability at world level of statistics produced on the basis of NACE is due to the fact that NACE is part of an integrated system of statistical classi?cations, developed mainly under the auspices of the United Nations Statistical Division. From the European point of view, this system can be represented as follows:

Communities).

NACE: Introduction and background

Where:

ISIC 4 is the United Nations" International Standard Industrial Classication of all Economic Activities. CPC 5 is the United Nations" Central Product Classication. HS 6 is the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, managed by the World Customs Or- ganisation. CPA 7 is the European Classication of Products by Activity.

Prodcom

8 is the classication of goods used for statistics on industrial production in the EU. CN 9 stands for the Combined Nomenclature, a European classication of goods used for foreign trade statistics. 4.

Such an integrated system allows the comparability of statistics produced in dierent statistical domains. As a con-

sequence, for instance, statistics on the production of goods (reported in the EU according to Prodcom surveys)

could be compared with statistics on trade (in the EU produced according to CN). More details on the system and

its components are provided in Chapter 4. 5.

NACE is derived from ISIC, in the sense that it is more detailed than ISIC. ISIC and NACE have exactly the same items at the highest levels, where NACE is more detailed at lower levels.

6.

In order to ensure international comparability, the denitions and the guidelines established for use of NACE within the EU are consistent with those published in the introduction to ISIC.

1.2

NACE: scope and characteristics

Statistical classi?cations

7.

All observations that are to be described in terms of statistics require systematic classication. Classications parti-tion the universe of statistical observations according to sets that are as homogeneous as possible with respect to the characteristics of the object of the statistical survey.

8.

Statistical classications are characterised by:

a. exhaustive coverage of the observed universe; b.

mutually exclusive categories: each element should be classied in only one category of the classication;

c.

methodological principles which allow the consistent allocation of the elements to the various categories of the

classication. 9.

More specically, hierarchical classications are characterised by a ner and ner partition of categories, which makes it possible to collect and present the information at various levels of aggregation.

NACE: Introduction and background

15 NACE as the EU classication of economic activities 10.

NACE is the European standard classi?cation of productive economic activities. NACE presents the universe of eco-

nomic activities partitioned in such a way that a NACE code can be associated with a statistical unit carrying them

out. 11.

An economic activity takes place when resources such as capital goods, labour, manufacturing techniques or inter-mediary products are combined to produce speci?c goods or services. us, an economic activity is characterised by an input of resources, a production process and an output of products (goods or services).

12.

An activity as de?ned here may consist of one simple process (for example weaving), but may also cover a whole range of sub-processes, each mentioned in di?erent categories of the classi?cation (for example, the manufacturing

of a car consists of speci?c activities such as casting, forging, welding, assembling, painting, etc.). If the production

process is organised as an integrated series of elementary activities within the same statistical unit, the whole com-

bination is regarded as one activity. 13.

NACE does not per se provide categories for speci?c types of statistical units: units may perform several economic

activities, and can be de?ned in di?erent ways according to speci?c characteristics (related e.g. to location, see the

section on "statistical units" below).

Scope and limitations of NACE

14.

NACE does not draw distinctions according to the kind of ownership of a production unit or its type of legal or-ganisation or mode of operation, because such criteria do not relate to the characteristics of the activity itself. Units engaged in the same kind of economic activity are classi?ed in the same category of NACE, irrespective of whether they are (part of) incorporated enterprises, individual proprietors or government, whether or not the parent enter-prise is a foreign entity and whether or not the unit consists of more than one establishment. erefore, there is no link between NACE and the Classi?cation of Institutional Units in the System of National Accounts (SNA) or in the European System of Accounts (ESA).

15.

e manufacturing activities are described independently of whether the work is performed by power-driven ma-

chinery or by hand, or whether it is done in a factory or in a household. Modern versus traditional is not a criterion

for NACE. 16.

NACE does not distinguish between formal and informal or between legal and illegal production. Classi?cations according to kind of legal ownership, kind of organisation or mode of operation may be constructed independently. Cross-classi?cation with NACE could provide useful extra information.

17.

In general, NACE does not di?erentiate between market and non-market activities, as de?ned in the SNA/ESA,

even if this distinction is an important feature of the SNA/ESA. A breakdown of economic activities according

to this principle is useful in any case where data are collected for activities that take place on both a market and a

non-market basis. is criterion should then be cross-classi?ed with the categories of NACE. Non-market services

in NACE are only provided by government organisations or non-pro?t institutions serving households, mostly in

the ?eld of education, health, social work, etc. 18.

NACE includes categories for the undi?erentiated production of goods and services by households for their own use. ese categories may refer, however, to only a portion of households' economic activities, as clearly identi?able household activities are classi?ed in other parts of NACE.

Structure and coding of NACE

19.

NACE consists of a hierarchical structure (as established in the NACE Regulation), the introductory guidelines and the explanatory notes. e structure of NACE is described in the NACE Regulation as follows:

i. a ?rst level consisting of headings identi?ed by an alphabetical code (sections), ii. a second level consisting of headings identi?ed by a two-digit numerical code (divisions), iii. a third level consisting of headings identi?ed by a three-digit numerical code (groups), iv. a fourth level consisting of headings identi?ed by a four-digit numerical code (classes). 16

NACE: Introduction and background

e code for the section level is not integrated in the NACE code that identies the division, the group and the class

describing a specic activity. For example, the activity “Manufacture of glues" is identied by the code 20.52, where

20 is the code for the division, 20.5 is the code for the group and 20.52 is the code of the class; section C, to which

this class belongs, does not appear in the code itself. 20.

e divisions are coded consecutively. However, some “gaps" have been provided to allow the introduction of ad-ditional divisions without a complete change of the NACE coding. ese gaps have been introduced in sections that are most likely to prompt the need for additional divisions. For this purpose, the following division code numbers have been le unused in NACE Rev. 2: 04, 34, 40, 44, 48, 54, 57, 67, 76, 83 and 89.

21.

In cases where a given level of the classication is not divided further down in the classication, “0" is used in the code position for the next more detailed level. For example, the code for the class “Veterinary activities" is 75.00 be-cause the division “Veterinary activities" (code 75) is divided neither into groups nor into classes. e class “Manu-facture of beer" is coded as 11.05 since the division “Manufacture of beverages" (code 11) is not divided into several groups but the group “Manufacture of beverages" (code 11.0) is divided into classes.

22.

Whenever possible, residual groups or classes of the type “others" and/or “n.e.c. (not elsewhere classied)" are char-acterised by the digit 9 (for instance group 08.9 “Mining and quarrying n.e.c." and class 08.99 “Other mining and quarrying n.e.c.").

1.3

NACE: historical background and legal context

From NICE to NACE Rev. 2

23.

Between 1961 and 1963, the “Nomenclature des Industries établies dans les Communautés Européennes" (NICE)

(Classication of Industries Established in the European Communities) was developed. e original (1961) version

had broad divisions with entries down to 3 digits. e revised (1963) version had more detailed subdivisions. NICE

covered extractive, energy-producing and manufacturing industries and construction. 24.

In 1965, the “Nomenclature du commerce dans la CEE" (NCE) (Classication of Trade and Commerce in the Euro-pean Communities) was developed to cover all commercial activities.

25.

In 1967, a classication for services was developed, followed by one for agriculture, both in broad divisions.

26.

In 1970, the “Nomenclature générale des activités économiques dans les Communautés Européennes" (NACE - General Industrial Classication of Economic Activities within the European Communities) was developed. As its name implies, it was a classication covering the whole range of economic activity.

27.
is rst version of NACE suered from two major drawbacks:

As it had not been established as part of the Community legislation, data were oen collected according to the existing national classications and then transformed into the NACE format by means of conversion keys, which did not produce satisfactorily comparable data;

As NACE Rev. 1970 had not been developed within a recognised international framework, it oered poor comparability with other international classications of economic activities.

28.

It was then decided to consider alignment of NACE with the international standards. rough a joint United Na-tions Statistical Oce/Eurostat working group, Eurostat and representatives of the EU Member States were closely involved in the third revision of the International Standard Industrial Classication of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev. 3), which was adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission in February 1989.
