History

The SBI has followed NACE since SBI 1993, through SBI 2008 (NACE Rev. 2). SBI 2025 aligns with NACE Rev. 2.1; the first four digits are the European code and the fifth is Dutch.

Usage & importance

Used by CBS for statistics and by the Chamber of Commerce (KVK) trade register, where every Dutch business records its SBI activities. Levels 1–4 are exactly NACE Rev. 2.1, so European conversions are one-to-one.
