The statistical classification of products by activity, abbreviated as CPA, is the classification of products (goods and services) in the European Union. The CPA product categories are related to the economic activities of the statistical classification of economic activities (NACE).

Since 1993, several CPA versions have been developed. The newest is CPA version 2.1. It was adopted in 2014 and is used for European statistics from 2015 onwards.

Future development

A new version of the NACE has been published, which will be used for European statistics from 2025 onwards.

As a result, a new version of the CPA is currently being developed. Its adoption is foreseen in 2024. It will also be applicable for data transmissions to Eurostat from 2025 onwards.
