Documentation

Definition

Alphanumeric key which allows a systematic categorization of goods for production statistics.

Use

In order to harmonize the production statistics in the EU member states, the Council of Ministers of the European Communities drew up EEC regulation No. 3429/91 on December 19, 1991. This regulation introduced a Community survey on the production of goods (EC No. L 374 of December 1991) and represents a legal basis which specifies the procedure to be used as well as the nomenclature of goods.

The PRODCOM (PRODuction COMmunautaire) list items have been defined and classified according to the Harmonized System for describing and coding goods (HS) and the Combined Nomenclature for foreign trade.

This allows a direct comparison of production and foreign trade statistics.
