Electric power generation, transmission and distribution

Use this group for electric power generation, transmission and distribution when the main activity includes Production of electricity from non-renewable sources and Production of electricity from renewable sources. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

Manufacture of gas, and distribution of gaseous fuels through mains

Use this group for manufacture of gas, and distribution of gaseous fuels through mains when the main activity includes Manufacture of gas and Distribution of gaseous fuels through mains. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

Steam and air conditioning supply

Use this group for the broader activity area of steam and air conditioning supply, including Steam and air conditioning supply. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.

Activities of brokers and agents for electric power and natural gas

Use this group for the broader activity area of activities of brokers and agents for electric power and natural gas, including Activities of brokers and agents for electric power and natural gas. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.

Comparison summary

A short checklist before choosing one code over another.

Shared hierarchy

These codes share D ELECTRICITY, GAS, STEAM AND AIR CONDITIONING SUPPLY > 35 Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply before they diverge.

Known ambiguity

35, 35.1, 35.2, 35.3, 35.4 already list another compared code as related or often confused.

Check exclusions

35.1, 35.2 include official exclusions that may point to a better-fitting code.

Migration review

35, 35.2, 35.4 have non-exact Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mappings; review old records before migration.
