Frequently asked questions
I am an industrial product designer: is ATECO code 74.11.10 correct?
Yes, 74.11.10 covers industrial design: the conception and development of designs and specifications to optimise the use, value, packaging and appearance of products, including the selection of materials, mechanisms, shapes, colours and finishes, taking into account safety and market requirements.
I design clothing, accessories and fashion items: do I stay on 74.11.10 or is there a fashion design code?
There is a separate code: fashion design falls under 74.11.20, covering textiles, clothing, footwear, jewellery and fashion furnishings. 74.11.10 covers industrial product design in the broader sense.
I do technical design work with drawings and plans, not product design: is it 74.11.10?
Usually not. Specialised design services provided by technical draughtsmen fall under 74.14.01. 74.11.10 is product design — form, function and aesthetics — not purely technical draughting.
