How to read a concordance table - NAICS 2002 and NACE Rev. 1.1

The relationship between the North American Industry Classification System 2002 (NAICS) and revision 1.1 of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE) is shown below in a concordance table. The table shows the Canadian interpretation of the relationships between the two classifications.

The concordance is shown at the lowest level of both classifications, namely at the 6-digit level in NAICS and the 4-digit level in NACE.

The relationships between the two classifications can be simple or complex. The following examples are presented to illustrate how the table should be read.

In the first example, one NAICS Canada class relates to exactly one NACE class.
