Explanation:
If you look around the statistics offices of English speaking countries you see that these are "industry classification" systems. I have put the UK equivalent in brackets leaving the Italian, but obviously you can adapt it to your text.

Explanation:
Another possibility. I think the choice as to whether to spell out Istat depends on the type of translation you're doing and who will be reading it.
