Mining of coal and lignite
What this code covers
Use this division for mining of coal and lignite when the main activity includes Mining of hard coal and Mining of lignite. 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.
- This division includes the extraction of solid mineral fuels through underground or open-cast mining and includes operations (for example, grading, cleaning, compressing and other steps necessary for transport) leading to a marketable product.
- coking, see 19.10
- services incidental to coal or lignite mining, see 09.90
- manufacture of briquettes, see 19.20
- Compare with 19.10, 09.90, 19.20 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 05 used for?
Use NACE 05 for mining of coal and lignite when the main activity matches this scope: Use this division for mining of coal and lignite when the main activity includes Mining of hard coal and Mining of lignite. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 05?
Typical examples include Mining of hard coal and Mining of lignite.
When might 05 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to coking, see 19.10 and services incidental to coal or lignite mining, see 09.90.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 05?
Compare 05 with 19.10 Manufacture of coke oven products, 09.90 Support activities for other mining and quarrying, and 19.20 Manufacture of refined petroleum products and fossil fuel products when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for manufacture of coke oven products when the main activity includes Operation of coke ovens and Production of coke and semi-coke. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for support activities for other mining and quarrying when the main activity includes Support services on a fee or contract basis, required for mining activities of divisions 05, 07, 08 and Exploration services by using traditional prospecting methods (e.g. taking core samples and making geological observations at prospective sites). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for manufacture of refined petroleum products and fossil fuel products when the main activity includes Production of motor fuel: gasoline, kerosene, etc. and Production of fuel: light, medium and heavy fuel oil, refinery gases (e.g. ethane, propane, butane). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas when the main activity includes Extraction of crude petroleum and Extraction of natural gas. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for mining of metal ores when the main activity includes Ore dressing and beneficiating operations (e.g. crushing, grinding, washing, drying, sintering, calcining or leaching ore, gravity separation or flotation operations). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for other mining and quarrying when the main activity includes Quarrying of stone, sand and clay and Mining and quarrying n.e.c.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for mining support service activities when the main activity includes Support activities for petroleum and natural gas extraction and Support activities for other mining and quarrying. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of mining of hard coal, including Mining of hard coal. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of mining of lignite, including Mining of lignite. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this section for mINING AND QUARRYING when the main activity includes Mining and quarrying include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids (coal and ores), liquids (petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by different methods (for example, underground or surface mining, well operation, seabed mining). and Mining activities are classified into divisions, groups and classes on the basis of the principal mineral produced. Divisions 05 and 06 are concerned with mining and quarrying of fossil fuels (coal, lignite, petroleum, gas); divisions 07 and 08 concern metal ores, various minerals and quarry products.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Rev. 2 code 05 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 05 Mining of coal and lignite.

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.
