Extraction of salt
What this code covers
Use this class for extraction of salt when the main activity includes Extraction of salt from underground, including by dissolving and pumping and Salt production by evaporation of sea water or other saline waters. 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.
- extraction of salt from underground, including by dissolving and pumping
- salt production by evaporation of sea water or other saline waters
- crushing, purification and refining of salt by the producer
- processing of salt into food-grade salt (e.g. iodised salt), see 10.84
- potable water production by evaporation of saline water, see 36.00
- Compare with 10.84, 36.00, 08.91 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 08.93 used for?
Use NACE 08.93 for extraction of salt when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for extraction of salt when the main activity includes Extraction of salt from underground, including by dissolving and pumping and Salt production by evaporation of sea water or other saline waters. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 08.93?
Typical examples include Extraction of salt from underground, including by dissolving and pumping, Salt production by evaporation of sea water or other saline waters, and Crushing, purification and refining of salt by the producer.
When might 08.93 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to processing of salt into food-grade salt (e.g. iodised salt), see 10.84 and potable water production by evaporation of saline water, see 36.00.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 08.93?
Compare 08.93 with 10.84 Manufacture of condiments and seasonings, 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply, and 08.91 Mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for manufacture of condiments and seasonings when the main activity includes Manufacture of spices, sauces and condiments: and Mayonnaise. 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 class for mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals when the main activity includes Mining of natural phosphates and natural potassium salts and Mining of native sulphur. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for extraction of peat when the main activity includes Peat digging and Preparation of peat to improve quality or facilitate transport/storage. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for other mining and quarrying n.e.c. when the main activity includes Mining and quarrying of various minerals and materials: and Abrasive materials, asbestos, siliceous fossil meals, natural graphite, steatite (talc), feldspar, etc.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for the broader activity area of mining and quarrying n.e.c., including Mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals, Extraction of peat, and Extraction of salt. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
