Incineration without energy recovery
What this code covers
Use this class for incineration without energy recovery when the main activity includes Incineration without energy recovery. 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 disposal and treatment prior to disposal of waste by combustion or thermal treatment without energy recovery.
- thermal treatment with the resulting production of energy, see 38.22
- Compare with 38.22, 38.32, 38.33 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.

When might 38.31 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to thermal treatment with the resulting production of energy, see 38.22.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 38.31?
Compare 38.31 with 38.22 Energy recovery, 38.32 Landfilling or permanent storage, and 38.33 Other waste disposal when the activity description is ambiguous.

Rev. 2 code 38.21 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 38.21 Materials recovery, 38.22 Energy recovery, 38.23 Other waste recovery, 38.31 Incineration without energy recovery, 38.32 Landfilling or permanent storage, 38.33 Other waste disposal.
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.
Rev. 2 code 38.22 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 38.22 Energy recovery, 38.23 Other waste recovery, 38.31 Incineration without energy recovery, 38.32 Landfilling or permanent storage, 38.33 Other waste disposal.
