The transition from the GP19 to the new GP26 production statistics classification system introduces several changes affecting flat glass products.

Three coated glass product categories have been reclassified from NACE code 23.11 (鈥淢anufacture of flat glass鈥) to NACE code 23.12 (鈥淪haping and processing of flat glass鈥). The changes are as follows:

  • 23.11.12.12 becomes 23.12.14.10 鈥 Non-wired sheets, of float, surface ground or polished glass, having a non-reflecting layer
  • 23.11.12.14 becomes 23.12.14.11 鈥 Non-wired sheets, of float, surface ground or polished glass, having an absorbent or reflective layer, of a thickness 鈮 3,5 mm
  • 23.11.12.17 becomes 23.12.14.12 鈥 Non-wired sheets, of float, surface ground or polished glass, having an absorbent or reflecting layer, not otherwise worked, of a thickness > 3,5 mm

Additional code changes include:

  • Multiple-walled insulating units of glass: 23.12.13.30 becomes 23.12.20.10
  • 黑料专区 mirrors, whether or not framed: from 23.12.13.90 becomes 23.12.13.00

According to discussions with the European Commission, the reclassification aims to better align PRODCOM product codes with industry activities and reduce double counting in production statistics.

All industry stakeholders need to carefully review their production and to report it according to the new codes for all that was produced since 1 January 2026. This is particularly important since PRODCOM codes are the product classification codes used by Eurostat and all national statistics authorities to collect and publish industrial production statistics across the European Union.
