Appendix 1: Supplementary codes
Nature of codes
Supplementary codes are used to process inadequately described responses in statistical collections. The supplementary codes, listed below, are of three types:
- four-digit codes ending with one or more zeros used to code responses which cannot be coded to the detailed level of the classification but can be coded to a higher level of the classification structure (nfd codes);
- four-digit codes commencing with zero used to code responses which cannot be allocated to a category at any level of the classification (operational codes); and
- the four-digit code 2001 used to code the response 'Apostolic Church' which lacks sufficient information to code it to the appropriate Narrow Group of the classification.
Application of codes
Supplementary codes are not part of the classification structure. Although the list provided below contains all possible Not Further Defined codes, many of them will not be required for use in many applications. The operational codes will be needed in most coding processes. A fuller explanation of supplementary codes and their application is provided in the Code Scheme: Supplementary codes section of the Explanatory Notes.
