Edition 1975

Printed in Belgium PREFACE
EUROSTAT is pleased to be able to present to the public the first edition of the Common
Nomenclature of Industrial Products or NIPRO.
This nomenclature classifies products according to the branch of industry producing them,
and in this way provides a basis for the definition of the General Industrial Classification of
Economic Activities within the European Communities, the NACE.
The NIPRO will also provide the guidelines for work in the field of statistics of production by
products.
The present edition of the NIPRO is provisional; EUROSTAT would be pleased to receive
observations from the responsible bodies in the Member States of the European
Communities and from professional organizations, which will enable the present persion to
be improved.
In creating the NIPRO, EUROSTAT received great assistance from the "Statistisches
Bundesamt" of the Federal Republic of Germany, two officials of which, Messrs Skiebe and
Potkowik, joined in the preparation of the nomenclature.
Moreover, various professional federations, organized at the European level, provided
proposals for their respective branches.
EUROSTAT would like to thank all those who, by their assistance, made possible the
preparation of the NIPRO.
