CNAE 20—Chemical industry
Division · Clasificación Nacional de Actividades Económicas (2025)
Where 20 sits
- C Manufacturing Industry
- 20 Chemical industry
Contains 6 narrower codes
- 20.1 Manufacturing of basic chemicals, nitrogen compounds, fertilizers, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms
- 20.2 Manufacturing of pesticides, disinfectants and other agrochemical products
- 20.3 Manufacture of paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing inks and putties
- 20.4 Manufacturing of washing, cleaning and polishing products
- 20.5 Manufacture of other chemical products
- 20.6 Manufacturing of artificial and synthetic fibers
What 20 includes
- This division includes the transformation of organic and inorganic raw materials by a chemical process and the formation of products. It distinguishes the production of basic chemicals that constitute the first industry group from the production of intermediate and end-products produced by further processing of basic chemicals that make up the remaining industry classes.
- Manufacture of liquid biofuels
