Details

Description Generally from the beginning of 1995 the Classification of Economic Activities, issue 1993 (WZ 93), was used to classify the economic activities of enterprises, local units and other statistical units consistently in all official statistics. From the beginning of 2003 it was replaced in this function by the Classification of Economic Activities, issue 2003 (WZ 2003).

WZ 93 was developed under extensive participation of data users and data producers in administration, economy, research and society.
