No. This is a hierarchy page. Continue to the six-digit Sub-class before using a code in registration or compliance records.

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 2021 Manufacture of pesticides and other agrochemical products, 2022 Manufacture of paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing ink and mastics, 2029 Manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c., and confirm that the official title matches the main revenue activity. For regulated or filing-critical decisions, verify the source row in the MoSPI dataset.

A wrong code can cause mismatched business descriptions, follow-up questions or later compliance cleanup. It is better to compare nearby codes before filing than to correct a weak classification later.

Use the legacy converter only as a migration aid. Old NIC 2008 matches can suggest where to look, but NIC 2025 should remain the primary reference for new code selection.
