Remediation activities and other waste management service activities
What this code covers
Use this class for remediation activities and other waste management service activities when the main activity includes Decontamination of soils and groundwater at the place of pollution, either in situ or ex situ, using, e.g. mechanical, chemical or biological methods and Decontamination of industrial plants or sites, including nuclear plants and sites. 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.
- decontamination of soils and groundwater at the place of pollution, either in situ or ex situ, using, e.g. mechanical, chemical or biological methods
- decontamination of industrial plants or sites, including nuclear plants and sites
- decontamination and cleaning up of surface water following accidental pollution (e.g. through collection of pollutants or through application of chemicals)
- cleaning up oil spills and other pollutions on land, in surface water, in ocean and seas, including coastal areas
- pest control in agriculture, see 01.61
- purification of water for water supply purposes, see 36.00
- treatment of waste with recovery, see 38.2
- treatment of waste for disposal, see 38.3
- Compare with 01.61, 36.00, 38.2 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 39.00 used for?
Use NACE 39.00 for remediation activities and other waste management service activities when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for remediation activities and other waste management service activities when the main activity includes Decontamination of soils and groundwater at the place of pollution, either in situ or ex situ, using, e.g. mechanical, chemical or biological methods and Decontamination of industrial plants or sites, including nuclear plants and sites. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 39.00?
Typical examples include Decontamination of soils and groundwater at the place of pollution, either in situ or ex situ, using, e.g. mechanical, chemical or biological methods, Decontamination of industrial plants or sites, including nuclear plants and sites, and Decontamination and cleaning up of surface water following accidental pollution (e.g. through collection of pollutants or through application of chemicals).
When might 39.00 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to pest control in agriculture, see 01.61 and purification of water for water supply purposes, see 36.00.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 39.00?
Compare 39.00 with 01.61 Support activities for crop production, 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply, and 38.2 Waste recovery when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for support activities for crop production when the main activity includes Crop production activities on a fee or contract basis: and Preparation of fields. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for water collection, treatment and supply when the main activity includes Abstraction of water from rivers, lakes and groundwater and Treatment of water for the water supply. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for waste recovery when the main activity includes Materials recovery and Energy recovery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for waste disposal without recovery when the main activity includes Incineration without energy recovery and Landfilling or permanent storage. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for landfilling or permanent storage when the main activity includes Operation of landfills for the disposal of waste and Treatment of organic waste for landfilling or permanent storage. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for other cleaning activities when the main activity includes Swimming pool cleaning and maintenance activities and Cleaning of trains, buses, planes, etc.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of remediation activities and other waste management service activities, including Remediation activities and other waste management service activities. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Rev. 2 code 39.00 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 39.00 Remediation activities and other waste management service activities.

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.
