Activity Classifications

Italy provides comprehensive activity classification through multiple nomenclatures with sophisticated processing logic:

ATECO Classifications (Italian Standard):

• ATECO2025: Latest Italian classification standard
  • Primary: The main business activity (first code returned)
  • Secondary: Additional business activities (remaining codes)
• ATECO2022: Previous Italian classification standard
  • Primary: The main business activity (first code returned)
  • Secondary: Additional business activities (remaining codes)

All ATECO codes include English descriptions derived from official mappings and translations.

Single-Value Classifications:

• RAE: Italian Economic Administrative Register classification (single code)
• SAE: Italian Statistical Administrative classification (single code)
• SIC: US Standard Industrial Classification (single code)

AI-Mapped International Classifications:

• ISIC: International Standard Industrial Classification (AI-inferred, single code)
• NACE: European standard classification (AI-inferred, single code)

ISIC/NACE Generation Priority:

1. Primary ATECO2025 code (if available)
2. Primary ATECO2022 code (if ATECO2025 unavailable)
3. RAE code (if no ATECO codes available)
4. SAE code (if no other codes available)

The AI uses semantic analysis to map the highest-priority available classification to international standards, ensuring accurate cross-referencing while maintaining single, authoritative ISIC/NACE codes.

Note: ATECO code lengths vary from 2-6 digits depending on the company’s registered activities and data availability in Italian registries. There is no universal logic differentiating code length based on primary vs secondary status.
