Code of a subclass of the French classification of activities NAF rév. 2 (2008), which has the same structure as the European NACE. INSEE gives every company and establishment in the SIRENE register an APE code (activité principale exercée) taken from it, so the APE code is also called the NAF code. A subclass code has four digits and a letter, usually written with a dot after the second digit, as in 79.11Z; data sets often leave the dot out. From 1 January 2027 APE codes are assigned from NAF 2025 instead.
