Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals
What this code covers
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.
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.
- This class includes the manufacture of chemicals using basic processes (for example, thermal cracking, distillation). The output of these processes is usually separate chemically defined organic compounds.
- manufacture of basic organic chemicals:
- acyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated
- cyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated
- extraction of natural gas, consisting predominantly of methane, see 06.20
- manufacture of plastics in primary forms, see 20.16
- manufacture of synthetic rubber in primary forms, see 20.17
- manufacture of crude glycerol, see 20.41
- Compare with 06.20, 20.16, 20.17 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- 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.

Rev. 2 code 20.11 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 20.11 Manufacture of industrial gases, 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
