Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering
What this code covers
Use this class for research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering when the main activity includes Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering: and Research and development on natural sciences. 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.
- research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering:
- research and development on natural sciences
- research and development on engineering and technology
- research and development on medical, health and life, and veterinary sciences
- DNA sequencing for ruling out or curing a specific disease, see 86.91
- Compare with 86.91, 72.1 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.

What is NACE 72.10 used for?
Use NACE 72.10 for research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering when the main activity includes Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering: and Research and development on natural sciences. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 72.10?
Typical examples include Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering:, Research and development on natural sciences, and Research and development on engineering and technology.
When might 72.10 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to DNA sequencing for ruling out or curing a specific disease, see 86.91.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 72.10?
Compare 72.10 with 86.91 Diagnostic imaging services and medical laboratory activities and 72.1 Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for diagnostic imaging services and medical laboratory activities when the main activity includes X-ray laboratories and other diagnostic imaging centres and Blood analysis laboratories. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering, including Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Rev. 2 code 72.11 is one of multiple older codes associated with Rev. 2.1 class 72.10 Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering.
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.
