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.
| NAICS 2002 | NACE Rev. 1.1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 212210 | Iron Ore Mining | 13.10 | Mining of iron ores |
In the second example, one NACE class is equivalent to more than one NAICS class. The asterisk (Partial Flag) indicates that part of NACE 15.84 is equivalent to each NAICS class. The NACE activities corresponding to each NAICS class are listed in the column labelled "Link".
