NACE (classification for businesses in the European Union).

The NACE (nomenclature statistique des activités économiques dans la Communauté européenne) is a 4-level (and up to 4 digit) code for classifying economic activities. It is the European implementation of the UN classification ISIC.

The first 4 digits are the same in all EU countries while additional levels and digits may be vary between countries. This module validates the numbers according to revision 2 and based on the registry as published by the EC.
