PRODCOM

The PRODCOM list (derived from the French "PRODuction COMmunautaire") is a list of industrial products and services in the areas of mining, manufacturing, and materials recovery (sections B, C and E of the Standard Industrial Classification).

For the products on the PRODCOM list, within the European Union, the value and volume of (sold) production must be determined per member state. This obligation must be fulfilled at least on an annual basis. The official PRODCOM list of the EU has eight digits at the most detailed level.

The first four digits of a PRODCOM code generally correspond to the NACE classification. NACE is the in the EU applied classification of economic activities. It is almost identical to the Standard Industrial Classification (SBI) used by CBS.

Additionally, the first six digits of a PRODCOM code correspond to the European product Classification of Products by Activity (CPA). Similar to the CPA, PRODCOM codes are derived from the Combined Nomenclature (CN). This is a classification of goods prescribed by the European Union for the statistics on International Trade in Goods. As a result, at the most detailed level, the domestic market can be made visible for each PRODCOM code using data on production, import, and export.

The PRODCOM list is renewed every two to three years. This update incorporates changes to the Combined Nomenclature, as well as any proposed amendments from Member States and European agencies, among others.

Due to the revision of the NACE/SBI, the PRODCOM list has been thoroughly updated starting from 2025. PRODCOM codes have been changed to align with the new Standard Industrial Classification 2025 instead of the Standard Industrial Classification 2008.
