Forestry and logging
What this code covers
Use this division for forestry and logging when the main activity includes Silviculture and other forestry activities and Logging. 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.
- This division includes silviculture and the production of roundwood as well as the extraction and gathering of wild-growing non-wood forest products. Besides the production of timber, forestry activities result in products that undergo little processing, for example, firewood, charcoal or roundwood used in an unprocessed form (such as pit-props or pulpwood). These activities can be carried out in natural, semi-natural or planted forests.
- Excluded is further processing of wood beginning with sawmilling and planing of wood, see division 16.
- Compare with 16, 01, 03 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.

Rev. 2 code 02 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 02 Forestry and logging.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
Low operational impact is expected, but systems should still store the target Rev. 2.1 version explicitly.
Confirm the target version field and update references where Rev. 2.1 is required.
