NACE classification
NACE is the European classification of economic activities. It translates free-text business activities into a standardised code that lets companies be compared and segmented.
What the register contains
- Code of the principal economic activity
- Activity name per the classification
- Placement within the parent section of the classification
Fields we return
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| nace_code | Classification code, e.g. 62.01. |
| nace_description | Name of the economic activity. |
What it is used for
Segment customers by industry without parsing free-text business activities. In a CRM it drives campaign targeting; in analytics it lets you compare a company against its industry average.
In risk assessment the industry is context – identical financial figures mean one thing in construction and something else in a software business.
Frequently asked questions
How is the code assigned?
It derives from the business activities recorded in the register. Where a company has several activities, the code represents the principal one.
Is this the same as SK NACE?
SK NACE is the Slovak version of the European NACE classification. The codes are compatible, so they can be used for cross-border comparison.
