Logging
What this code covers
Use this class for logging when the main activity includes Production of roundwood for forest-based manufacturing industries and Production of roundwood used in an unprocessed form (e.g. pit-props, fence posts, utility poles). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- production of roundwood for forest-based manufacturing industries
- production of roundwood used in an unprocessed form (e.g. pit-props, fence posts, utility poles)
- gathering and production of forest harvesting residues (e.g. brushwood, stumps, wood chips from logging, other forest waste for energy)
- production of charcoal in the forest (using traditional methods)
- growing of Christmas trees, see 01.29
- growing of standing timber: planting, replanting, transplanting, thinning and conserving of forests, and timber tracts, see 02.10
- gathering of wild growing non-wood forest products, see 02.30
- production of wood chips and particles, not associated with forestry activities, see 16.11
- Compare with 01.29, 02.10, 02.30 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 02.20 used for?
Use NACE 02.20 for logging when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for logging when the main activity includes Production of roundwood for forest-based manufacturing industries and Production of roundwood used in an unprocessed form (e.g. pit-props, fence posts, utility poles). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 02.20?
Typical examples include Production of roundwood for forest-based manufacturing industries, Production of roundwood used in an unprocessed form (e.g. pit-props, fence posts, utility poles), and Gathering and production of forest harvesting residues (e.g. brushwood, stumps, wood chips from logging, other forest waste for energy).
When might 02.20 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to growing of Christmas trees, see 01.29 and growing of standing timber: planting, replanting, transplanting, thinning and conserving of forests, and timber tracts, see 02.10.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 02.20?
Compare 02.20 with 01.29 Growing of other perennial crops, 02.10 Silviculture and other forestry activities, and 02.30 Gathering of wild growing non-wood products when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for growing of other perennial crops when the main activity includes Growing of rubber trees for harvesting of latex and Growing of Christmas trees. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for silviculture and other forestry activities when the main activity includes Growing of standing timber: planting, replanting, transplanting, thinning and conserving of forests, and timber tracts and Growing of coppice, pulpwood and firewood. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for gathering of wild growing non-wood products when the main activity includes Gathering of wild growing materials and Mushrooms, truffles. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for sawmilling and planing of wood when the main activity includes Sawing, planing and machining of wood and Slicing, peeling or chipping logs. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of other organic basic chemicals when the main activity includes Manufacture of basic organic chemicals: and Acyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of logging, including Logging. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Rev. 2 code 02.20 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 02.20 Logging.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
Low operational impact is expected, but systems should still store the target Rev. 2.1 version explicitly.
Confirm the target version field and update references where Rev. 2.1 is required.
