Which countries have no published NACE Rev 2.1 timetable?

For Germany, Italy, Portugal, Romania and other member states not covered by a verified national timetable in the pages consulted for this guide, no national timetable date is asserted here. No date published as checked on 28 October 2026 was found for those countries in the Eurostat, EUR-Lex and national institute pages consulted, and this guide does not borrow a date from France, Ireland or the Netherlands. The general European range still applies: data transmission runs from 1 January 2025 to 1 January 2031 (FIXED range), depending on the statistical domain.

A country without a verified date is not a country without a timetable. It is a country whose timetable was not found in the sources checked, and the next step is a direct check of that country’s institute.

Why is no date asserted for Germany, Italy, Portugal and Romania?

National variants exist for those countries, and their names appear in secondary sources: WZ 2025 for Germany, ATECO 2025 for Italy, CAE Rev. 4 for Portugal, and CAEN Rev. 3 for Romania. Those names were not each verified against the national statistical institute in the pages consulted for this guide, and no application date for any of them was verified in an institute publication consulted here. Asserting a date from a secondary source would break the rule that a fact in this guide must be traced to EUR-Lex, Eurostat, or a national statistical institute. The names are therefore recorded here only as names that appear in secondary sources and that require verification, not as verified national versions with verified dates. A reader who needs the German, Italian, Portuguese or Romanian timetable should open the publication of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany, Istat, Statistics Portugal, or the National Institute of Statistics of Romania, and should record the date with the FIXED or EXPECTED label that the institute text supports.

How is the absence of a date recorded honestly?

The absence of a date is recorded in the same table shape as a present date, with the date row stating that no date was published as checked on 28 October 2026. The table below shows that record for the four countries named, and it should be read as a record of the check, not as a statement that no timetable exists anywhere. A future check that finds an institute publication should replace the relevant row with the published date, the label, and the source, and should keep the check date visible so that the replacement is traceable.

Country	National variant name, as in secondary sources	Timetable date verified here
Germany	WZ 2025, name not verified against the institute here	No date published as checked on 28 October 2026
Italy	ATECO 2025, name not verified against the institute here	No date published as checked on 28 October 2026
Portugal	CAE Rev. 4, name not verified against the institute here	No date published as checked on 28 October 2026
Romania	CAEN Rev. 3, name not verified against the institute here	No date published as checked on 28 October 2026

The table does not state that the variant names are wrong. It states that they were not verified here, and that no date was verified here. That distinction matters, because a name that is correct but unverified should prompt a check, while a name presented as verified without a source would close the check down.

What is checked on the institute page?

Four items are checked on the institute page, in order. First, the name and version of the national classification, and its relationship to NACE Rev. 2.1. Second, the timetable, including whether the change is a single step or gradual, and whether two versions will be in use at once. Third, the register or directory where the entry for a specific business is held, and the route for checking or correcting it. Fourth, the correspondence or conversion table between the old and new national versions, and the mapping types it shows. A page that gives the name but not the timetable answers only the first item. A page that gives the timetable but not the register route answers only the second. The check is complete only when all four items are recorded, or when the missing items are recorded as missing.

What does the general range guarantee, and what does it not guarantee?

The general range guarantees the frame for European data transmission, from 1 January 2025 to 1 January 2031 (FIXED range), and Eurostat states that NACE Rev. 2.1 is to be used for European statistics from 2025 onwards (FIXED, as stated by Eurostat). It does not guarantee the date on which any named country publishes a statistic on the new basis, or the date on which any named register changes an entry. Those dates are set nationally, and they are published nationally. A reader who cites the general range as a national date will misdate the national statistic and the national entry. The range is the frame. The national publication is the date.

Where is a country timetable confirmed?

A country timetable is confirmed in the publication of the national statistical institute of the country concerned, or in the publication of the business register that holds the entry, where the register publishes its own timetable. The meaning of a category is in the Eurostat explanatory notes, and the move of an activity between versions is in the correspondence tables. The entry for a specific business is confirmed with the institute or register that holds the record. Until an institute publication is found, the honest record is that no date was published as checked on 28 October 2026, and the next step is the institute check.

Open the institute page for the country concerned, record the four items in the check above, and confirm a single entry with the institute or register that holds it.
