Who should avoid:
Avoid the exclusive use of code 2593 if the main activity of your company shifts towards other commercial or related branches not specified in the official description. See the excluded activities section below.
Procedure for authorization and Trade Registry aspects for NACE 2593
Setting up a company with the main activity being NACE code 2593 (Manufacture of articles from metal wire; manufacture of chains and springs) requires registration with the National Trade Register Office (ONRC) in compliance with the provisions of Law no. 265/2022 and Law no. 31/1990. When filing the application, the associates submit a sworn statement under Law no. 359/2004, attesting that the registered office is suitable for carrying out the activity. No prior environmental approval is required for establishment, but subsequently, obtaining an environmental permit from the Environmental Protection Agency is mandatory. For effective exercise, a fiscal registration declaration must be filed with the Tax Authority (ANAF), and the fiscal vector is completed with code 2593. Operators in this field may carry out ancillary activities (e.g., heat treatments) without needing additional NACE codes, provided these are mentioned in the articles of association.
Regulatory framework, specific approvals and control institutions
Activity under NACE 2593 is governed by legislation on occupational safety and health (Law 319/2006) and fire prevention and firefighting standards (GO 60/1997). Manufactured products (chains, springs, articles from metal wire) must comply with applicable technical standards, including SR EN 818 for lifting chains. Periodic inspections are carried out by the Labour Inspectorate and the Emergency Inspectorate (ISU). Additionally, if high-risk machinery is used, periodic verification by notified bodies is required. For export, products must meet the essential health and safety requirements set out in European directives (e.g., 2006/42/EC on machinery). Operators must draw up declarations of conformity and affix CE marking. Regarding metal waste resulting from production, the waste regime under Government Emergency Ordinance (GEO) 92/2021 applies, requiring registration as a waste generator.
Tax management, ANAF audit risk and specific accounting
From a fiscal perspective, manufacturers of articles from metal wire are subject to corporate income tax (16% or 1% for micro-enterprises, if conditions are met). VAT is applied at 19%, and for intra-Community supplies, a 0% rate may apply provided a valid VAT number and transport documents are held. ANAF may trigger an audit based on risk criteria such as discrepancies between physical and accounting inventories or deliveries to shell companies. Inventory accounting must be carried out using the perpetual inventory method, and production costs (materials, labour, depreciation) are recorded per order or phase. Electricity costs (significant consumption for heat treatments) must be supported by actual documents. Use of the RO e-Factura system for all issued invoices is recommended, with reporting in e-Factura. The single declaration (for natural persons' income) must be submitted by 25 May. To avoid penalties, all fiscal obligations (VAT, corporate income tax, contributions) must be settled by the legal deadlines.

Întrebări Frecvente
What authorizations are needed to carry out the activity of manufacturing articles from metal wire?
Generally, an environmental permit (if emissions or hazardous waste exist) and compliance with ISU fire protection standards are required. Also, if heavy machinery is used, an operating permit from the local mayor's office may be necessary.
Can I produce springs for the aerospace industry under this NACE code?
Yes, but for aerospace components, additional certifications (e.g., EN 9100) and compliance with strict quality standards are required. NACE 2593 covers the manufacture of springs, but the client will impose specific requirements.
