NACE 20.14: Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals

NACE Rev. 2.1 class. Replaces NACE Rev. 2 20.11, 20.14. Closest ISIC Rev. 4: 2011.

NACE Rev. 2.1 class 20.14 is "Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals". It sits in section C (MANUFACTURING), then division 20 (Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products), then group 20.1 (Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilisers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms). In the previous classification, NACE Rev. 2, the activity was covered by 20.11 (Manufacture of industrial gases), 20.14 (Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals).

What the class includes

This class includes the manufacture of chemicals using basic processes (for example, thermal cracking, distillation). The output of these processes is usually separate chemically defined organic compounds. This class includes: - manufacture of basic organic chemicals: • acyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated • cyclic hydrocarbons, saturated and unsaturated • acyclic and cyclic alcohols • mono- and polycarboxylic acids, including acetic acid • other oxygen-function compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, quinones and dual or poly oxygen-function compounds • synthetic glycerol • nitrogen-function organic compounds, including amines • fermentation of sugar cane, corn or similar to produce alcohol and esters • other organic compounds, including wood distillation products (e.g. charcoal), etc. - manufacture of synthetic aromatic products - manufacture of methane, not for the provision as a gaseous fuel through a permanent supply network - distillation of coal tar - manufacture of ethyl alcohol, other than for bioethanol fuel - manufacture of refrigerant gases

What it excludes

This class excludes: - extraction of natural gas, consisting predominantly of methane, see 06.20 - manufacture of plastics in primary forms, see 20.16 - manufacture of synthetic rubber in primary forms, see 20.17 - manufacture of crude glycerol, see 20.41 - manufacture of liquid biofuels (e.g. bioethanol fuel), see 20.51 - manufacture of natural essential oils, see 20.59 - manufacture of salicylic and O-acetylsalicylic acids, see 21.10 - manufacture of ethanol from biomass, see 20.51 - production of methane for the provision as a gaseous fuel through a permanent supply network, see 35.21
