Classifications are one of the most fundamental tools with respect to the compilation of statistics, and are intended to provide substantiated information and relevant forecasts concerning social and economic matters. INSTAT therefore uses a range of national and international classifications. These are revised in a coordinated effort at both national and international level at regular intervals and are adapted to changing social and economic conditions.
1. Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community, Rev. 2
NACE Rev. 2 is the classification of economic activities corresponding to ISIC Rev. 4 at European level. Though more disaggregated than ISIC Rev. 4, NACE Rev. 2 is completely in line with it and can thus be regarded as its European version.
The Nomenclature of Economic Activities (NACE Rev.2) provides the framework for collecting and presenting a large statistical range mainly: economic statistics, production, employment, national accounts.

6. Standard goods classification for transport statistics
The Standard goods classification for transport statistics abbreviated as NST (2007), is a statistical nomenclature for the goods transported by four modes of transport: road, rail, inland waterways and sea (maritime).
As NST 2007 considers the economic activity from which the goods originate, each of its items is strongly connected to an item of the European Union product and activity classifications Classification of products by activity (CPA) and Statistical classification of economic activities (NACE), which themselves are consistent with their counterparts at UN level, CPC and ISIC.
