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.
