Activity examples
Company profiles typically classified under NOGA code 33.20.
A company whose main activity falls under "Installation of industrial machinery and equipment" is classified under NOGA code 33.20.
This category covers industrial units and workshops that transform raw materials or components into finished or semi-finished products: factories, manufacturing plants, production workshops and processing sites.
The code is assigned on the principle of the main economic activity: if an entity has several activities, the one generating the most value added determines the classification.
How this code is used
NOGA code 33.20 is used by the Swiss federal authorities to classify companies by their main economic activity, notably:
- Federal Statistical Office (FSO): business and establishment register (BER), censuses and structural statistics.
- OASI compensation funds: classification of the employer's activity at registration.
- Federal Tax Administration (FTA): VAT profiling, net tax debt rates and sector statistics.
- Commercial register: "activities" field when registering a new legal entity.
- SUVA and accident-insurance funds: pricing of accident-insurance contributions by risk class.
- SECO and labour-market statistics: sector analyses and targeted support measures.
