PKDPoland2025

Polska Klasyfikacja Działalności

Poland’s classification of economic activities, maintained by Statistics Poland (GUS). PKD 2025 adopts NACE Rev. 2.1 unchanged at its first four levels — all 651 classes match code for code — and adds 728 Polish subclasses distinguished by a trailing letter.

History

PKD has followed NACE since PKD 2004, replaced by PKD 2007. PKD 2025 brings Poland onto NACE Rev. 2.1; the Polish subclass letter (usually Z where no split is needed) is retained so that existing business registrations remain expressible.

Usage & importance

Used by GUS, the REGON register and CEIDG for business registration — every Polish company records a PKD code. Levels 1–4 are exactly NACE Rev. 2.1, so European conversions are one-to-one.
