201300 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals


This type includes the manufacture of chemicals using basic processes. The output of these processes are usually separate chemical elements or separate chemically defined compounds.

This type includes:

  • manufacture of chemical elements (except industrial gases and basic metals)
  • manufacture of inorganic acids except nitric acid
  • manufacture of alkalis, lyes and other inorganic bases except ammonia
  • manufacture of other inorganic compounds
  • roasting of iron pyrites
  • manufacture of distilled water

This type also includes:

  • enrichment of uranium and thorium ores

This type excludes:

  • manufacture of industrial gases (see 201100)
  • manufacture of nitrogenous fertilisers and nitrogen compounds (see 201500)
  • manufacture of ammonia (see 201500)
  • manufacture of ammonium chloride (see 201500)
  • manufacture of nitrites and nitrates of potassium (see 201500)
  • manufacture of ammonium carbonates (see 201500)
  • manufacture of aromatic distilled water (see 205300)
  • manufacture of basic metals (see division 24)

Codification rules

Priority in case of multiple activities

If production, repair and sales activities are carried out, the priority is as follows :

- if production and sale: production takes priority
- if production and repair: production takes priority
- if repair and sale: repair takes priority

Outsourced activities (outsourcing)

There are several types of outsourcing, the enterprise may outsource::
• Part of a production process, classification: production
• All of a production process
o & owner of commodities, classification: production
o & non-owner of commodities, classification: section G, M or N :

For a construction enterprise:
• Part of the construction activities, classification: construction - section F
