NACE-BEL 20—Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products
Division · Nomenclature of Economic Activities (Belgium) (2025)
Where 20 sits
- C Manufacturing
- 20 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products
Contains 6 narrower codes
- 20.1 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilisers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms
- 20.2 Manufacture of pesticides, disinfectants and other agrochemical products
- 20.3 Manufacture of paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing ink and mastics
- 20.4 Manufacture of washing, cleaning and polishing preparations
- 20.5 Manufacture of other chemical products
- 20.6 Manufacture of man-made fibres
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, which constitute the first group, from the manufacture of intermediate and final products produced by the transformation of basic chemicals, which constitute the other subclasses.
- This division also includes: - the production of liquid biofuels
