Aluminium production
What this code covers
Use this class for aluminium production when the main activity includes Production of unwrought aluminium, alloyed or not alloyed, from alumina or from aluminium waste and scrap and Manufacture of aluminium bars, rods, profiles and wire. 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 unwrought aluminium, alloyed or not alloyed, from alumina or from aluminium waste and scrap
- manufacture of aluminium bars, rods, profiles and wire
- manufacture of aluminium tubes, pipes, tube and pipe fittings
- manufacture of aluminium plates, sheets and strip, whether or not painted, varnished or coated with plastics
- casting of aluminium and other light metals, see 24.53
- shredding of aluminium waste and scrap, see 38.21
- Compare with 24.53, 38.21, 24.41 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 24.42 used for?
Use NACE 24.42 for aluminium production when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for aluminium production when the main activity includes Production of unwrought aluminium, alloyed or not alloyed, from alumina or from aluminium waste and scrap and Manufacture of aluminium bars, rods, profiles and wire. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 24.42?
Typical examples include Production of unwrought aluminium, alloyed or not alloyed, from alumina or from aluminium waste and scrap, Manufacture of aluminium bars, rods, profiles and wire, and Manufacture of aluminium tubes, pipes, tube and pipe fittings.
When might 24.42 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to casting of aluminium and other light metals, see 24.53 and shredding of aluminium waste and scrap, see 38.21.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 24.42?
Compare 24.42 with 24.53 Casting of light metals, 38.21 Materials recovery, and 24.41 Precious metals production when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for casting of light metals when the main activity includes Activities of foundries of light metal and Manufacture of castings made of aluminium. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for materials recovery when the main activity includes Further included is the recovery of materials from waste streams in the form of: (1) separating and sorting recoverable materials from non-hazardous waste streams; or (2) separating and sorting of commingled recoverable materials (for example, paper, plastics, used beverage cans and metals) into distinct categories. and Examples of the mechanical or chemical transformation processes that are undertaken include:. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for precious metals production when the main activity includes Production of basic precious metals: and Production and refining of unwrought or wrought precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, etc., from ore and scrap. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for lead, zinc and tin production when the main activity includes Production of unwrought lead, zinc and tin, alloyed or not alloyed, from ores or from lead, zinc or tin waste and scrap and Manufacture of bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, strip and foil of lead, zinc or tin. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for copper production when the main activity includes Manufacture of unrefined or refined unwrought copper, alloyed or not alloyed, from ores or from copper waste and scrap and Manufacture of bars, rods, profiles, plates, sheets and strip of copper and copper alloys. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for other non-ferrous metal production when the main activity includes Production of unwrought chrome, manganese, nickel, etc., alloyed or not alloyed, from ores or oxides or from electrolytic and aluminothermic refining of chrome, manganese, nickel, etc., waste and scrap and Manufacture of bars, rods, profiles and wire of chrome, manganese, nickel, etc.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
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.

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.
