Classification Equivalents

ISIC 8690 corresponds to NACE 86.91 ≈, NACE 86.92 ≈, NACE 86.93 ≈, NACE 86.94 ≈, NACE 86.95 ≈ and NACE 86.99 ≈ 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.
