NACE (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community) - CSV

NACE (Nomenclature statistique des activités économiques dans la Communauté européenne) is the standard statistical classification of economic activities used in the European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member states. First established in 1970, it has versions including NACE Rev.2 (used from 2008 to 2024) and NACE Rev.2.1 (from 2025 onwards). It features a four-level hierarchical structure (sections, divisions, groups, and classes) that maintains compatibility with the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) while providing detailed classifications reflecting Europe's economic structure.
