• Publication for Wales

Details and lists of all general codes that are used in pollution inventory reporting. Includes NOSE-P, NACE, PRTR, method codes and waste codes.

This document provides information and comprehensive lists of the various codes you might need when completing your pollution inventory submission. For full guidance, you should refer to the pollution inventory general guidance and additional guidance relevant to your sector.

This guidance does not apply to sites reporting under the radioactive substances regulations.

NOSE-P codes

NOSE-P (nomenclature for source emissions – process) codes provide a framework for recording, disseminating and analysing information on emissions from all kinds of sources. You should choose the code that most closely reflects the main activity carried out by your permit or site.

NACE codes

NACE (nomenclature for economic activities) Coder is a pan-European classification system that groups organisations according to their business activities. The codes are defined in the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Revision 4 (2008) (ISIC Rev. 4).

Codes comprise four digits (for example, 01.11). The first two define the Division of economic activity. The third digit defines a sub-group within that division. The final digit defines the activity Class within that group.

In the following lists, we have given the NACE code and the activity description. In brackets is the corresponding code in ISIC Rev.4. An asterisk denotes that the ISIC code is used by more than one activity.

‘n.e.c.’ means the activity is not elsewhere classified.

E-PRTR codes (UK-PRTR codes)

Sites that are required to report to PRTR (the pollutant release and transfer register) must also provide a code relevant to their industrial sector. The codes comprise a number to indicate the sector and a letter to indicate your specific primary process.

For some types of sites, you only need to report if you exceed a specified threshold. This may be your operating capacity, output, or size. We have included the thresholds with the codes. If your site type has a threshold of ‘not applicable’ it means that there is no minimum and you must always report to PRTR.

Waste classification and destinations

Wastes must be classified by the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) 6-digit codes and by the relevant Waste Framework Directive disposal or recovery codes (D&R). In this section we have provided a link to the EWC and listed the D&R codes.

You can find further information about waste recovery or disposal on GOV.UK.

Waste transfer mass determination methods you can use are:

• weighing
• calculation (includes a free text field allowing further details to be entered)
• estimation

European Waste Catalogue (EWC) codes

For technical guidance and a comprehensive list of waste codes, see the waste classification technical guidance on GOV.UK.

The document may not be suitable for users of assistive technology. Details on how to obtain an accessible version are given on the website.
