What this code covers
Use this class for industrial product and fashion design activities when the main activity includes Fashion design related to textiles, wearing apparel, shoes, jewellery, furniture and other interior decoration, and other fashion goods, as well as other personal or household goods and Industrial design, carried out also through specialised software, i.e. creating and developing designs and specifications that optimise the use, value, package and appearance of products, including the determination of the materials, mechanism, shape, colour and surface finishes of the product, taking into consideration human characteristics and needs, safety, market appeal in distribution, use and maintenance. 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.
- fashion design related to textiles, wearing apparel, shoes, jewellery, furniture and other interior decoration, and other fashion goods, as well as other personal or household goods
- industrial design, carried out also through specialised software, i.e. creating and developing designs and specifications that optimise the use, value, package and appearance of products, including the determination of the materials, mechanism, shape, colour and surface finishes of the product, taking into consideration human characteristics and needs, safety, market appeal in distribution, use and maintenance
- engineering design, i.e. applying physical laws and principles of engineering in the design of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes and systems, see 71.12
- design of computer plans for 3D printing, see 71.12
- Compare with 71.12, 74.12, 74.13 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 are typical examples for 74.11?
Typical examples include Fashion design related to textiles, wearing apparel, shoes, jewellery, furniture and other interior decoration, and other fashion goods, as well as other personal or household goods and Industrial design, carried out also through specialised software, i.e. creating and developing designs and specifications that optimise the use, value, package and appearance of products, including the determination of the materials, mechanism, shape, colour and surface finishes of the product, taking into consideration human characteristics and needs, safety, market appeal in distribution, use and maintenance.
When might 74.11 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to engineering design, i.e. applying physical laws and principles of engineering in the design of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes and systems, see 71.12 and design of computer plans for 3D printing, see 71.12.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 74.11?
Compare 74.11 with 71.12 Engineering activities and related technical consultancy, 74.12 Graphic design and visual communication activities, and 74.13 Interior design activities when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for engineering activities and related technical consultancy when the main activity includes Engineering design (i.e. applying physical laws and principles of engineering in the design of machines, materials, instruments, structures, processes and systems) and consulting activities for: and Machinery, industrial processes and industrial plant. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for graphic design and visual communication activities when the main activity includes Activities of graphic designers and Graphic design of web pages. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for interior design activities when the main activity includes Activities of interior decorators and Interior design services (e.g. the planning and designing of interior spaces to meet the aesthetic and functional needs of people focusing mainly on finishes, furniture and colour palettes). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class when the unit's main activity is other specialised design activities. Compare sibling and related codes before using it for filing, reporting, or internal classification.
Use this group for the broader activity area of specialised design activities, including Industrial product and fashion design activities, Graphic design and visual communication activities, and Interior design activities. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Rev. 2 code 74.10 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 74.11 Industrial product and fashion design activities, 74.12 Graphic design and visual communication activities, 74.13 Interior design activities, 74.14 Other specialised design activities.

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.
