French classification of activities - NAF rev. 1, 2003

The French classification of activities (NAF Rev.1, 2003) is the national statistical classification of activities which has superseded since January 2003 NAF classification dating back to 1993.

NAF Rev. 1 is derived from NACE rev. 1.1: the categories of the four first levels of NAF are identical to the section, sub-section, division and group level of NACE rev. 1.1. The fifth level may split (or not) the most detailed level of NACE rev. 1.1 (the class) in order to take into account national specificities and practice.

Structure of NAF Rev.1 has been approved by CNAP (National Commission for Activity and Product Classifications) in April 2002.

NAF 2003, as well as CPF (French Classification of Products) is part of decree n°2002-1622 of 31 December 2002 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 detailed level of NAF.

Access to CPF classification is available at each level of NAF Rev. 1 and for every NAF code: just click on the field «produits associés».
