Manufacture of dyes and pigments
What this code covers
Use this class for manufacture of dyes and pigments when the main activity includes Manufacture of dyes and pigments from any source in basic form or as concentrate and Manufacture of pure calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide. 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.
- manufacture of dyes and pigments from any source in basic form or as concentrate
- manufacture of pure calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide
- manufacture of products, of a kind used as fluorescent brightening agents or as luminophores
- manufacture of prepared dyes and pigments, see 20.30
- Compare with 20.30, 20.11, 20.13 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.
