OENACE (Austrian Statistical Classification of Economic Activities)
Description:
The OENACE is the Austrian version of the NACE. An additional hierarchical
level the national subclasses was added to represent the Austrian economy
in a more detailed and specific way. All the other levels of OENACE are
identical with the levels of NACE.
The current version is the OENACE 2008, which came into force on 1 January 2008.
Relations to other classifications:
ISIC, NACE, CPC, HS, SITC, CPA, OECPA, PRODCOM, OEPRODCOM, CN
OEPRODCOM (Austrian national version of the List of PRODucts of the European COMmunity)
Description:
OEPRODCOM is the Austrian version of PRODCOM.
It was developed to reflect the special Austrian needs, so it is more detailed in some areas.
The versions are always named after the respective year (e.g. OEPRODCOM 2008 for the year 2008).
Relations to other classifications:
ISIC, NACE, OENACE, CPC, HS, SITC, CPA, OECPA, PRODCOM, CN
NACE (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities)
Description:
NACE is the classification of economic activities for the European Union. In line with the
classification revision of the 1990s it was derived from ISIC and is also adapted
to updated versions of ISIC. So NACE can be considered as the European version of ISIC.
The current version is the NACE Rev. 2, which came into force on 1 January 2008.
Relations to other classifications:
ISIC, OENACE, CPC, HS, SITC, CPA, OECPA, PRODCOM, OEPRODCOM, CN
PRODCOM (Production Communautaire)
Description:
PRODCOM is the title of the EU production statistics for Mining and Quarrying,
Manufacturing, and Electricity, Gas and Water Supply.
The headings of the PRODCOM list are derived from the Harmonized System (HS) or the Combined Nomenclature (CN), which thus enables comparisons to be made between production statistics and foreign trade statistics.
PRODCOM headings are coded using an eight-digit numerical code, the first six digits of which are, in general, identical to those of the CPA code. The PRODCOM list is therefore linked to, and consistent with, the central product classification.
The versions are always named after the respective year (e.g. PRODCOM 2008 for the year 2008).
Relations to other classifications:
ISIC, NACE, OENACE, CPC, HS, SITC, CPA, OECPA, OEPRODCOM, CN
CC (Classification of Types of Construction)
Description:
The Classification of Types of Constructions (CC) has been developed on the basis
of the provisional Central Product Classification (CPC) published in 1991 by the United Nations.
The CPC differentiates between buildings and civil engineering works,
which are also the basis for the two sections of the CC.
CC is designed to serve different purposes such as statistics on construction activities,
construction reports, building and housing censuses and price statistics on
construction work and national accounts.
In addition CC is also designed to be used for the whole life of a construction:
changes in use, transactions, renovations, demolition.
There are no immediate relations to other classifications
CN (Combined nomenclature)
Description:
Subheadings in the CN are identified by an eight-digit numerical code.
The very considerable number of subdivisions within the CN was introduced with
the EU's specific customs and foreign trade statistics requirements in mind.
The CN is revised annually and, as a Council Regulation, is binding on the Member States.
The current version is always named after the respective year (e.g. CN 2008 in the year 2008).
Relations to other classifications:
ISIC, NACE, OENACE, CPC, HS, SITC, CPA, OECPA, PRODCOM, OEPRODCOM
CPA (Statistical Classification of Products by Activity in the European Economic Community)
Description:
The CPA is the European version of the CPC. Unlike the CPC, the CPA is structured
according to the criterion of economic origin, with the framework being based on NACE.
The structure of the CPA is modelled on the structure of NACE ("Symmetry")
adding two more hierarchical levels (the category and the sub-category).
The current version is the CPA 2.1, which came into force on 1 January 2015.
Relations to other classifications:
ISIC, NACE, OENACE, CPC, HS, SITC, OECPA, PRODCOM, OEPRODCOM, CN
OE-ISCO (Austrian Version of the International Standard Classification of Occupations)
Description:
The OE-ISCO 08 is the Austrian version of the ISCO 08, which is the International
Standard Classification of Occupations. The ISCO was developed by the International
Labour Organisation (ILO). One of its major aims is to strengthen the international
comparability of labour market statistics. Furthermore the ISCO should be used as
model classification for countries, which plan a revision of their national occupation classifications.
For the correct application of OE-ISCO 08 explanation notes and an alphabetical directory
are available. The OE-ISCO 08 involves on the lowest level (4-digt) all in all 436 types of occupations.
Relations to other classifications:
ISCO 08
OECPA (Austrian Statistical Classification of Products by Activity)
Description:
The OECPA is the Austrian version of CPA. An additional hierarchical
level the national sub-categories was added for OECPA 1996 and OECPA 2002
to represent the Austrian economy in a more detailed and specific way.
On the sub-category level there is a numerical 6-digit code, which
is identical with CPA. The national sub-category is an additional
numerical one-digit code which is added after a hyphen.
The structure of CPA 2.1 and CPA 2008 is more detailed than former versions, so the level of national sub-categories is not longer necessary for the OECPA.
The current version is the OECPA 2015, which came into force on 1 January 2015.
Relations to other classifications:
ISIC, NACE, OENACE, CPC, HS, SITC, CPA, PRODCOM, OEPRODCOM, CN
ECOICOP (European classification of the individual consumption according to purpose)
Description:

other levels of ECOICOP are identical with the levels of COICOP.
The COICOP is the classification of the Individual Consumption by Purpose
and is part of the system of the national accounts.
The COICOP is a classification of expenditure according to purpose.
Such classifications are not only used for national accounts; COICOP

NST/R (Standard Goods Classification for Transport Statistics - Revised)
Beschreibung:
Description:

institutions for publications relating to transport.

OEFOS 2012 (Austrian Fields of Science and Technology Classification)
Description:
The Austrian Fields of Science and Technology Classification (OEFOS 2012)
is the Austrian version of the revised international Fields of Science and Technology Classification of the OECD (FOS),
published in the Frascati Manual 2015 as "Fields of Research and Development" (FORD).
It is adjusted to national needs, whose application for international com¬parisons is binding, particularly within the European Statistical System.
The six major Fields of Science: Natural Sciences; Technical Sciences; Human Medicine, Health Sciences; Agricultural Sciences, Veterinary Medicine; Social Sciences and Humanities remained unchanged in comparison to ÖFOS 2002. In order to ensure international comparability, the previous 2-digit levels, which are no longer applicable, were replaced by new 3-digit levels (groups) according to the international FOS respectively FORD. These new 3-digit levels were provided with further sub-groups (4-digits) taking into account the comments of the international classification. It is therefore feasible that the Austrian Fields of Science adapt to national peculiarities of the Austrian research activities.
The research area with the corresponding 6-digits in alphabetical order serves as a description of the fields of activities and research projects and/or for the coverage of the main scientific activities of a statistical unit in the research and development surveys. (Current revision status: October 2021)
