Classification Equivalents

ISIC 2420 corresponds to NACE 24.41 ≈, NACE 24.42 ≈, NACE 24.43 ≈, NACE 24.44 ≈, NACE 24.45 ≈ and NACE 24.46 ≈ in the European NACE Rev. 2.1 classification. This ISIC class maps to multiple NACE classes because NACE subdivides the activity at a finer level.

About partial correspondence: A “≈” symbol indicates an imperfect mapping. The ISIC and NACE codes do not share identical boundaries — activities covered here may partially overlap with adjacent classes in the other system.
