class of the main activity

Explanation:
Cum am discutat şi în perechea ro-hu, certificatele constatatoare conţin doar activitate principală şi activităţi secundare, ambele identificate cu codul clasei din CAEN, cel format din 4 cifre.

Deoarece multe firme la înfiinţare includ în actul constitutiv toate activităţile care nu necesită autorizare specială, e clar că nu poate fi vorba de grupa (identificată prin 3 cifre) tuturor activităţilor posibile incluse, ci doar grupa activităţii principale, aşa cum reiese de fapt şi din întrebarea ta.

Sistemul de codificare pentru CAEN Rev. 2 cuprinde:
- un prim nivel, constând în titluri identificate printr-un cod alfabetic (secţiuni);
- un al doilea nivel, constând în titluri identificate printr-un cod numeric de două cifre (diviziuni);
- un al treilea nivel, constând în titluri identificate printr-un cod numeric de 3 cifre (grupe);
- un al patrulea nivel, constând în titluri identificate printr-un cod numeric de 4 cifre (clase).

Aceeaşi treabă în engleză:

Structure and coding of NACE
19. NACE consists of a hierarchical structure (as established in the NACE Regulation),
the introductory guidelines and the explanatory notes. The structure of NACE is
described in the NACE Regulation as follows:
i. a first level consisting of headings identified by an alphabetical code (sections),
ii. a second level consisting of headings identified by a two-digit numerical code
(divisions),
iii. a third level consisting of headings identified by a three-digit numerical code
(groups),
iv. a fourth level consisting of headings identified by a four-digit numerical code
(classes).

Consider că nu are rost să inventăm traduceri care nu înseamnă nimic şi nu sunt clare (business scope ar însemna de fapt sfera sau întinderea, cuantifabilă, a activităţii). Aşa că propun această variantă, pentru că exact la asta se referă.

Scuze, am mâncat câteva litere din "cuantificabilă" :)

Scope

09:16 Dec 13, 2016

You would need to say "out of scope", but can evade the problem by just by using "main scope of activities". However, choosing between scope and purpose, I would say say that purpose is the more commonly used term for company and administrative documents in UK.

Annamaria Amik

You could say:

07:53 Dec 13, 2016

General purpose of the business for "domeniu principal de activitate" and Specific purpose of the business for "obiect principal de activitate", but you actually need to understand the context.
A company can have many activities, one of them is the main activity we're talking about here. You can't use "scope", because then the other, non-main or secondary activities would be what? Out of scope?...

Please don't quote wikipedia, it's written by contributors. Perhaps you could look up gov.uk? I'm OK with purpose, but not scope :)

But even so, we need more relevant context for the English word you proposed. Under General purpose, the wiki article states "all lawful business", but this is not definitely applicable here, we are talking about a specific activity.

Perhaps General field of the main activity vs. Specific field of the main activity could work.

@ Annamaria - Business purpose

07:46 Dec 13, 2016

UK English uses "business purpose" throughout company laws and administrative areas. This is a main section in filing company names for incorporation, tax purposes etc.

"Business purpose - It would describe the incorporated tasks a company has to do or provide. At present, only two types of business purpose clauses are used. They are:...."

Class

07:43 Dec 13, 2016

I have read the NACE webpages. I ust think the word is too general, and "clasă" seems to be the translation used for "class" anyway. There is a difference even in Romanian between "obiect" and "clasă".

Annamaria Amik

No, it is not.

07:37 Dec 13, 2016

Obiect de activitate means a company's activity as classified according to NACE (called CAEN in Romanian). You need to look at the whole context.
The NACE categorizes activities into Sections, Divisions, Groups, and Classes.

obiect

07:33 Dec 13, 2016

I think this is related to the purpose of the business, not the classification of this purpose. I like business scope also.
