Dansk Branchekode 2025 (DB25) V1:2025-

Dansk Branchekode 2025 (DB25) is a statistical classification of economic activities, for which the purpose is primarily for statistical use. The introduction, which describes rules and guidelines for classifying activities as well as annexes, has not been finalised, as DST is still awaiting content from the UN/EU.

DB25 is a 6-digit Danish subdivision of the EU classification, which is the 4-digit NACE rev. 2.1, which again is a new version of NACE rev. 2 from 2008. NACE rev. 2.1 is the regional version of UN's international classification, ISIC rev. 5, which is a new version of ISIC Rev. 4 from 2008. Initially, DB25 will only be available in Danish. A complete version in English will be available once the Danish version is final in its entirety. Currently, codes and titles are final, but until we get the missing material from UN/EU, the explanatory notes can be subject to updates, if we receive changes from the EU or we find errors.

We update the information and files for download on Statistics Denmark's website , where you also can read about the update.

NACE rev. 2.1 came into force on 1 January 2025 in all EU member states according to Regulation (EU) 2023/137 amending Regulation (EC) No. 1893/2006 on the statistical classification of economic activities. However, the stages of implementation in the administrative registers may vary.

NB: It is not possible to produce statistics on the current classification, because data must be collected first. Some statistics are dependent on data from other statistical domains and will have to wait longer. Therefore, statistics will continue to be produced using DB07 for an extended period.
