Industry type using the Eurostat NACE classification.

(Where an establishment relates to more than one NACE code, a distinction shall be made between primary activity and secondary activities)

NACE code: NACE is the European industry standard related to a statistical classification of economic activities, consisting of a 6-digit code. The user is expected to relate the Seveso establishment to this classification scheme, referring to the first 4 digits, in addition or as an alternative to the SPIRS codes.4.10

Industry type using SPIRS code.

An optional secondary industry category can also be selected that further defines the nature of the hazard.
