Maps to NACE Rev. 2 20.14 and NACE Rev. 2.1 20.14, 20.51. ISIC Rev. 4: 2011.

UK SIC 2007 code 20140 is "Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals". UK SIC 2007 follows NACE Rev. 2 at four digits and adds a national fifth digit, so the first four digits, 20.14, are the NACE Rev. 2 class "Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals". UK companies state one or more SIC codes when they file at Companies House, and the codes appear in the company record. In NACE Rev. 2.1 the NACE Rev. 2 class behind this code is split across 2 classes, so check the activity before you convert.
