Type	Description
NACE (CDQ)	NACE is the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (fr. "La Nomenclature statistique des Activités économiques dans la Communauté Européenne", hence NACE). It is a classification system for economic activities comprising 615 four-digit codes. Since 2009 , it has been used by the EFTA countries and several Central European countries.
NAF (CDQ)	Also known as NAF 1993 - a French Business Classification system (fr. "La Nomenclature d'Activités Française", hence NAF). It is a statistical nomenclature used in France which allows the codification of the main activities carried out (APE codes) in the company or association. The APE code (also called NAF code) is one of the "Insee" codes . Later in 2003 a NAF 2003 was established followed by a NAF 2008 in January 2008 as a main classification standard to match the NACE classification format.
NAF_2003 (CDQ)	Also known as "NAF rev. 1" - meaning "NAF revision 1". It's a 1st revision of a NAF standard - French business classification. Active through 2003 to 2008 when NAF 2008 was established.
NAF_2008 (CDQ)	Also known as "NAF rev. 2" - meaning "NAF revision 2". It's a 2nd revision of a NAF standard - French business classification. The APE codes from the original NAF classification were extended from four to five positions in January 2008, for its conformity with the European NACE code corresponding to the first four positions of the APE code of the NAF (first edition). The NAF 2008 includes 615 classes identical to NACE and 732 items (“sub-classes”) at the finest level defined by this latter position.
NAICS (CDQ)	The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is a classification of business establishments by type of economic activity (process of production). It is used by government and business in Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America. It has largely replaced the older Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, except in some government agencies, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An establishment is typically a single physical location, though administratively distinct operations at a single location may be treated as distinct establishments. Each establishment is classified to an industry according to the primary business activity taking place there. NAICS does not offer guidance on the classification of enterprises (companies) which are composed of multiple establishments.
NAP (CDQ)	Also known as "NAP 73" - the Classification of Activities and Products (fr. "La Nomenclature d'Activités et de Produits", hence NAP) was in force in France from 1973 to 1992. In 1993 the NAF and the CPF classifications respectively replaced the "activities" version and the "products" version of NAP 73.
NOGA (CDQ)	The General Classification of Economic Activities (NOGA) in Switzerland is derived from the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE). The NACE has been defined in the different official languages of the member states taking into account the economic structure of the majority of the countries. The NOGA was developed by the FSO in collaboration with experts from the public administration and numerous umbrella organisations. The particularities and/or important activities of the national economy have been incorporated in the last two positions of the six-digit code. The present NOGA 2008 came into force on January 1, 2008 and has been integrated into the Business and Enterprise Register (BER).
SIC (CDQ)	The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) was a system for classifying industries by a four-digit code as a method of standardizing industry classification for statistical purposes across agencies. Established in the United States in 1937, it is used by government agencies to classify industry areas. Similar SIC systems are also used by agencies in other countries, e.g., by the United Kingdom's Companies House. In the United States, the SIC system was last revised in 1987 and was last used by the Census Bureau for the 1992 Economic Census, and has been replaced by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which was released in 1997. Some U.S. government departments and agencies, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), continued to use SIC codes through at least 2019.
