Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals
What this code covers
Use this group for the broader activity area of manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, including Precious metals production, Aluminium production, and Lead, zinc and tin production. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
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.

Rev. 2 code 24.4 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 24.4 Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals.
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.
