1. ECONOMIC and SOCIAL CLASSIFICATIONS Introductory course Day 1 – first afternoon session ISIC Rev 4 and NACE Rev.2
Marie-Madeleine Fuger INSEE – France Hans Van Hooff CBS - Netherlands

2. ISIC = International Standard Industry Classification
NACE = Nomenclature statistique des Activités économiques dans la Communauté Européenne

3. ISIC and NACE Plan of session Purpose and nature Historical background
Structure and coding
Tools for interpretation

4. ISIC and NACE Purpose and Nature
Classifications of Activities
as they usually are combined
in Statistical Units
Camping site, supermarket

5. ISIC and NACE Purpose and Nature
“Similar” activities are grouped together in classes (homogeneous to activity)
What is similar Criteria:
>>Input (NACE 16: Manufacture of wood/products of wood)
>>Process (NACE 24.5: Casting of metals)
>>Output (NACE 32.4: Manufacture of games and toys)

6. What is not similar, not used as criteria:
Purpose and Nature
What is not similar, not used as criteria:
Legal organization type
Types of markets (market / non-market)
Size
Region
…………………………………………

7. Purpose and Nature
Use
No strict application of the three criteria e.g. by NACE-level  would cause categories that are not useful e.g. by process in manufacturing.
So a pragmatic approach
how the world sees it!!publishers
In the past only for statistics, but activity classifications are more and more used for administrative purposes, laws, rules, licenses registration useful for NSI’s!!.

8. ISIC International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities

10. NACE (Nomenclature d’Activités de la Commission Européenne)
History of NACE
Elaboration of NICE between 1961 and Nomenclature des Industries établies dans les Communautés Européennes
Elaboration of NACE in 1970 (but not internationally linked and data translated from national classifications)
Development of NACE Rev.1: 1993
Based on ISIC: strong decision taken in the 80’s
Same structure, more details
International harmonization respected
Possible national versions
Legal base (regulation)
Working group NACE: since 1986
Current version NACE Rev.2: 2008

11. NACE (Nomenclature d’Activités de la Commission Européenne)
NACE regulation
All statistics with data on economic activities should use NACE or a derived national level
Supplementary national levels okay, but same frame (concepts, definitions) and same structure
National coding system may be different
National versions approved by the Commission
Pending problem: NACE-structure not fit for all economic studies
Other structures and aggregation needed
Automotive-, energy-, ICT-sector.

15. Structure and coding of NACE Rev. 2
21 Sections : 1 letter
88 Divisions : 2 digits
272 Groups : 3 digits
615 Classes : 4 digits
Shared with ISIC Rev.4 02
Schéma d’organisation : emboîtement à tous les niveaux, comme dans la nomenclature actuelle,
L’emboîtement est visible dans le code, mais les lettres des sections ne sont pas rappelées devant les chiffres
La NACE est codifiée comme la CITI (classification internationale type des industries), mais avec un point entre le 2 et le 3ème chiffre
Disparition des sous-sections (propres à la NACE, elles n’existaient qu’en Industrie)
Les groupes et les classes NACE proviennent de l’éclatement de groupes et de classes CITI
Amélioration de la codification nationale : on lit directement la classe NACE dans la sous-classe NAF

Shared in all member states
