About NACE Classification

NACE (Nomenclature statistique des activités économiques dans la Communauté européenne) is the standard industrial classification for the European Union, maintained by Eurostat. NACE Rev. 2.1 is the current version, introduced to align EU statistics with ISIC Rev. 4 and to reflect structural changes in the European economy.

The classification is organised in a four-level hierarchy:

  • Sections (A–V) — 22 broad categories using letter codes
  • Divisions (01–99) — 87 two-digit subdivisions
  • Groups (01.1–99.0) — 287 detailed groups
  • Classes (01.11–99.00) — 651 most-detailed codes used in registration

NACE codes are directly derived from ISIC Rev. 4, making it straightforward to link EU company data to the GTIAS global industry analysis framework.
