| 1 (b) | In which language(s) is the classification available? | German, French, Italian, English |
| 1 (c) | Can the classification (or information about it) be accessed on the Internet? If yes, please provide the URL. | http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/en/index/infothek/nomenklaturen/blank/blank/ noga0/vue_d_ensemble.html |

| 2 (a) | Please describe the structure of the classification: How many levels does the classification have? (Please provide labels, such as “Division”, “Class”) How many categories exist at each level? | |
| 1st level | 1 capital letter | Section | 21 | | 2nd level | 2 digits | Division | 88 | | 3rd level | 3 digits | Group | 272 | | 4th level | 4 digits | Class | 615 | | 5th level | 6 digits | Type | 794 |
The first level is not utilised directly for coding activities. It permits the subdivision of economic. |
| 2 (b) | Please provide examples of the coding system used at each level. | |
| 1st level | C | Manufacturing | | 2nd level | 26 | Manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products | | 3rd level | 265 | Manufacture of instruments and appliances for measuring, testing and navigation; watches and clocks | | 4th level | 2652 | Manufacture of watches and clocks | | 5th level | 265203 | Manufacture and assembly of watch movements |

|
| 3 (a) | Is this classification based on (or linked to) an international standard classification? If yes, please describe. | NOGA is derived from NACE. |
| 3 (b) | Is the classification structure identical to the international standard or, if not, how does it differ? (e.g. have additional levels been added to the international standard or have changes been made within the level of the international structure, such as aggregations or additional breakdowns) | NOGA 2008 is compatible with NACE Rev. 2 up to level 4. Level 5 (type), consisting of two digits, takes account of Swiss specificities. |
| 3 (c) | Please describe deviations from the international standard (in terms of structure, methodology or application rules). Please use examples, if a general statement is not possible. | The NOGA is in full compliance with NACE. An additional level to NACE has been created to take into account in more detail the Swiss specifities. |
| 3 (d) | At what level of the international standard can data be reported for international comparison? (Please provide examples of programmes / indicators if reporting takes place at different levels of the classification.) | International comparison with European data using NACE is possible up to the 4-digit level. International comparison with data using ISIC is possible up to the 2-digit level. At the 2-digit level comparison with data using a classification related to ISIC is possible as far as correspondence tables are available. |
| 3 (e) | If no links to international classifications exist or no international standard is used, please state if there are plans to use international norms in the future. | - |
| |
|
| 4 (a) | Please state for which statistical purposes (surveys etc.) this classification is used and if there are users outside of the Statistical Office. Please indicate at which level the classification is used for data collection and for data publishing. | For surveys: use of NOGA at type, class, group and division level
For publishing: Mostly at section, division or group level
For international reporting: Mostly at division level |
| 4 (b) | Please give the names of institutions that use the classification for non-statistical purposes (as opposed to statistical purposes in question 4(a)). Also indicate the kind of use (e.g. tax offices, social security, customs, enterprise register, employment services, work permits etc.) | The NOGA is a variable in the business register of the Federal Statistical Office and therefore maintained and used only to this end. However, individual inquiries indicate the use of NOGA for clearly non-statistical purposes in public administration as well as in the private economy, as for example the calculation of risk premiums by insurance agencies. |
| 4 (c) | Please indicate if alternative classifications are used by other institutions of the economy. Are these classifications available and useful for the Statistical Office? | No alternative classification is known. |

| 5 (b) | Please state the date of use of the classification for individual statistical programmes. | NOGA is used in over 30 statistical programmes. Table 5b is still in completion process. The complete table can be delivered after completion at request. Table 5b: Date of NOGA2008 use for individual statistical programmes |

| 5 (e) | Please describe the link of the former classification to international classifications | NOGA 2002 is compatible with NACE Rev.1.1 up to level 4. Level 5 (type), consisting of two digits, takes account of Swiss specificities. |

Please indicate if this statistical data is collected or published by the Statistical Office or elsewhere. | As in 5b the table is still in completion process. No data collection according to the former classification is known.
