A NACE code is the EU's standard identifier for an economic activity, structured as section (letter) → division (2 digits) → group (3 digits) → class (4 digits).

How do I find my NACE code?

Every EU country issues its own national variant (NAF in France, WZ in Germany, CNAE in Spain, CAE in Portugal). The first 4 digits of that code are your NACE class.

What is NACE Rev. 2.1?

NACE Rev. 2.1 is the 2025 revision published by Eurostat. It refines NACE Rev. 2 (2008) with new classes for digital services, renewable energy and circular-economy activities.

Where does NACE data come from?

Eurostat is the custodian. National statistical institutes publish country variants derived from NACE. NACEBridge sources every class and mapping from those official publications.

NACE — the EU activity classification

Look up a NACE code, understand its section-division-group-class hierarchy, and see how it maps to national activity classifications across the EU.

NACE (Nomenclature statistique des Activités économiques dans la Communauté Européenne) is the EU's official activity classification, maintained by Eurostat. Every EU member state derives its national code (NAF, WZ, CNAE, CAE…) from the same 4-digit NACE class.

With NACEBridge you can decode a NACE code, drill into its hierarchy, or convert it into any national equivalent — and vice versa. All data comes from official sources.

The current revision is NACE Rev. 2.1 (2025), replacing Rev. 2 with better coverage of digital and green activities.
