Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys
What this code covers
Use this class for manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys when the main activity includes Operation of blast furnaces, steel converters, rolling and finishing mills and Production of pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms. 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 activities such as the direct reduction of iron ore, production of pig iron in molten or solid form, conversion of pig iron into steel, manufacture of ferro-alloys and manufacture of steel products.
- operation of blast furnaces, steel converters, rolling and finishing mills
- production of pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms
- production of ferro-alloys
- cold drawing of bars, see 24.31
- Compare with 24.31, 24.1 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.

When might 24.10 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to cold drawing of bars, see 24.31.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 24.10?
Compare 24.10 with 24.31 Cold drawing of bars and 24.1 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for cold drawing of bars when the main activity includes Manufacture of steel bars, rods, and solid sections of steel by cold drawing, grinding or cold-finishing. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, including Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.

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.
