Russian Classification of Economic Activities
Russia’s classification of economic activities (OK 029-2014), maintained under Rosstat and Rosstandart. OKVED 2 is built on NACE Rev. 2 — its sections, 88 classes and almost every subclass carry the NACE Rev. 2 code — and goes two national levels deeper, to 1,299 subgroups and 787 types.

History
The first OKVED (OK 029-2001) was based on NACE Rev. 1 and was revised for NACE Rev. 1.1 in 2007. OKVED 2 (OK 029-2014) moved Russia onto NACE Rev. 2 and became mandatory for business registration in 2016. Its level names differ from NACE: a two-digit “class” is a NACE division.
Usage & importance
Every Russian company and sole proprietor declares OKVED 2 codes on registration (EGRUL/EGRIP), and they drive statistical reporting and social-insurance tariffs. Conversions run through the official UN NACE Rev. 2 → ISIC tables; codes are only marked exact where the OKVED title confirms the NACE match.
