ClaNAE: Clasificación Nacional de Actividades Económicas - Argentinian National Classification of Economic Activities

ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017 has been in effect since 2017. It is identical to the United Nation's ISIC Rev. 4 up to the two-digit (Division) level.

Changes Between ClaNAE 2010 and ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017

Changes between ClaNAE 2010 and ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017 were driven by domestic needs rather than updates to ISIC Rev. 4 upon which both versions are partly based. In the agricultural sector, the three-digit group 01.5 (Cultivation of agricultural products in combination with animal husbandry) along with one four-digit class and one five-digit subclass with the same title. Classifications were also created for domestic services with the new two-digit division 98 (Services of private houses that hire domestic services) with lower-level categories of the same title.

Structure of ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017

ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017 is structured into five levels, as follows:

• Tabulation Category: 21 Tabulation Categories identified by the letters A to U.

• Division: 88 Divisions identified by two-digit numeric codes (01-99).

• Group: 227 Groups identified by three-digit numeric codes (01.1-99.0).

• Class: 432 Classes identified by four-digit numeric codes (01.11-99.00).

• Subclass: 794 Subclasses identified by five-digit numeric codes (01.111-99.000).

The table below shows the number of sub-categories located within each Tabulation Category of ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017. As in most other national classifications, the manufacturing sector is the most detailed with 204 subclasses followed by wholesale and retail with 175 subclasses. In terms of its alignment with the global standard, ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017 has 21 first-level industries and 88 second-level industries like ISIC Rev. 4. At the more detailed levels, it has 227 three-digit groups compared to 238 in ISIC Rev. 4 and 432 four-digit classes compared to 419 in ISIC Rev. 4. As an example, the three-digit group 45.2 (Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles) is present in both ISIC Rev. 4 and ClaNAE 2010 v. 2017 but given further detail in the latter with the nine four-digit classes including 45.21 (Automatic and manual car wash for motor vehicles), 45.22 (Repair of chambers and covers, shock absorption, steering alignment and wheel balancing), 45.23 (Installation and repair of windshields, mirrors and windows, non-electric locks, and glass engraving), and 45.24 (Electrical, board and instrument repairs; battery repair and recharging; installation of alarms, radios, air conditioning systems). Moreover, the class 45.22 above is further split into the five-digit subclasses 45.221 (Camera and cover repair) and 45.222 (Shock absorber repair, steering alignment and wheel balancing).

ClaNAE 2010 operated between 2010 and 2017. It is identical to the United Nation's ISIC Rev. 4 only at the highest classification level.

Changes Between ClaNAE 2004 and ClaNAE 2010

The changes between ClaNAE 2004 and ClaNAE 2010 especially at the top two classification levels reflect the changes between ISIC Rev. 3.1 and ISIC Rev. 4. The system was extensively revised with the number of industries increasing at all levels of the system. At the broadest level, the number of tabulation categories increased from 17 in 21 while at the most detailed level the number of subclasses increased from 754 to 791. Several activities were redefined or reconstituted and the creation of new tabulation categories led to the renumbering of activities across the system.

Structure of ClaNAE 2010

ClaNAE 2010 is structured into five levels, as follows:

• Tabulation Category: 21 Tabulation Categories identified by the letters A to U.

• Division: 87 Divisions identified by two-digit numeric codes (01-99).

• Group: 226 Groups identified by three-digit numeric codes (01.1-99.0).

• Class: 431 Classes identified by four-digit numeric codes (01.11-99.00).

• Subclass: 791 Subclasses identified by five-digit numeric codes (01.111-99.000).

ClaNAE 2004 operated in Argentina from 2004 to 2010. It is identical to the United Nation's ISIC Rev. 3.1 only at the highest classification level.

Changes Between ClaNAE 1997 and ClaNAE 2004

Except at the highest classification level which was unchanged, there was an increase in the number of activities across all other classification levels. Several new classes and subclasses were created to accommodate emerging activities in Argentina's economy. A notable addition to ClaNAE 2004 reflecting the emergence of the Internet at the time is the class 6440 (Internet services) with subclass 64401 (Internet service providers). Key health services were also added such as 85151 (Dialysis services) and 85152 (Traumatological, orthopedic, physiatric and other physical rehabilitation services). Trade union services were given more specific detail in ClaNAE 2004 with categories for nine separate professional groups including 91201 (Trade union services related to health personnel), 91202 (Trade union services related to education and culture personnel), 91203 (Trade union services related to construction, engineering and architecture personnel), and 91204 (Trade union services related to personnel in manufacturing, trade and public services).

Structure of ClaNAE 2004

ClaNAE 2004 is structured into five levels, as follows:

• Tabulation Category: 17 Tabulation Categories identified by the letters A to Q.

• Division: 63 Divisions identified by two-digit numeric codes (01-99).

• Group: 179 Groups identified by three-digit numeric codes (011-990).

• Class: 404 Classes identified by four-digit numeric codes (0111-9900).

• Subclass: 754 Subclasses identified by five-digit numeric codes (01111-99000).
