The 1993 french classification of activities (NAF 1993) is the national statistical classification of activities which replaced since the 1st of January 1993 the activity part of the 1973 NAP (nomenclature of activities and products). Since 1st of January 2003, NAF 1993 has been superseded by NAF rev. 1.

NAF 1993 is derived from NACE rev. 1: the categories of the four first levels of NAF are identical to the section, sub-section, division and group level of NACE rev. 1. The fifth level may split (or not) the most detailled level of NACE rev. 1 (the class) in order to take into account national specificities and practice.

Structure of NAF 1993 has been approved by CNAP (National Commission for Activity and Product Classifications) in December 1991 and its explanatory notes in July 1992.

NAF 1993, as well as CPF (French Classification of Products) is part of decree n°92-1129 of 2nd October 1992 which binds all public bodies to use the classification (or any of its derivative) in official texts, decisions, documents, papers and studies. The code describing the main activity carried out by economic units (APE code) and allocated by INSEE are specified according to the most detailled level of NAF.
