Frequently asked questions
I provide sanitation, disinfection, and pest control services for premises — ATECO code 81.23.10 or a cleaning company?
Yes, 81.23.10. This code covers sanitation, disinfection, pest control, and rodent control. It is distinct from routine cleaning, which falls under general building cleaning 81.21.00. Here the goal is eliminating pathogens and pests, not simply cleaning.
I carry out rodent control and insect pest control — does this fall here or under landscaping services?
It falls here. The ATECO description explicitly includes rodent control alongside disinfection and pest control within 81.23.10. If instead you maintain gardens and green spaces, the activity is landscaping under 81.30.00.
I also sterilise instruments for medical practices in addition to environmental disinfection — do I keep 81.23.10 or do I need the sterilisation code?
For sterilisation of medical equipment and spaces such as operating theatres, the dedicated code 81.22.01 is usually the right choice. Code 81.23.10 covers sanitation, disinfection, and pest control of environments.
