	EPA: Federal Register: 1997 North American Industry Classification System--1987 Standard Industrial Classification ...
		Industry statistics compiled using NAICS will also be comparable with statistics compiled according to the latest revision of the United Nations' International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC, Revision 3) for some sixty high level groupings.
		Most of the 170 industry increase between the 1987 U.S. and the 1997 NAICS United States is in the service producing industries with a net increase of 149 industries, although there are net increases of seven industries in the Agriculture, Forestry, Hunting, and Fishing sector; one in Utilities; two in Construction; and 14 in Manufacturing.
		Those who objected acknowledge that there are problems associated with the 1987 SIC classification of auxiliaries, but are concerned about the loss of employment in manufacturing industries if auxiliary establishments such as accounting offices, administrative and corporate offices, and warehouses are classified according to their primary activity.

	UK SIC(92) - Introduction
		Thus, a new International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev 3) was agreed in the Statistical Commission of the United Nations in February 1989.
		In 1980, one of the principal objectives of the revision of the SIC was to examine and eliminate differences from the activity classification issued by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat) and entitled 'Nomenclature générale des activités Économiques dans les Communautés européennes', usually abbreviated to NACE.
		SIC classifications are determined according to the principal activity of a unit.

	UK SIC(92) - Introduction
		A Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) was first introduced into the United Kingdom in 1948 for use in classifying business establishments and other statistical units by the type of economic activity in which they are engaged.
		The workers classified to a particular industry will fall into a number of different categories of an occupational classification and similarly the workers in some occupations may be found in many different industries.
		The classification can also be extended to cover not only the production of goods but also economic activities such as distribution, transport and services, although the number of different types of service will normally be much less than the number of different products of the production industries.

	North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
		For over sixty years, the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system has served as the structure for the collection, aggregation, presentation, and analysis of the US economy.
		Because the SIC is used by many other federal government statistical programs, it is possible for users to assemble a comprehensive statistical picture of an industry.
		The SIC system was developed in the 1930's at a time when manufacturing dominated the US economic scene.

	NAICS Association - Information
		The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) was originally developed in the 1930's to classify establishments by the type of activity in which they are primarily engaged and to promote the comparability of establishment data describing various facets of the U.S. economy.
		In July 1992, the OMB established the Economic Classification Policy Committee chaired by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, with representatives from the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.
		The industries are grouped in order from those providing the most intensive type of health care to those providing minimal health care with social assistance to those providing only social assistance.

	NAICS is Coming
		It not only recognizes many new industries that were not recognized explicitly in the old SIC, but it also provides a framework in which new industries can be more easily introduced in the future.
		NAICS is also compatible with the two-digit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities of the United Nations (ISIC, rev. 3).
		The SIC system we use today was first developed in the 1930s when the United States was primarily a manufacturing economy.

	Standard Industrial Classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Standard Industrial Classification was a United States government system for classifying industries by a four-digit code.
		Established in the 1930s, it was supplanted by the six-digit North American Industry Classification System in 1997.
		The following table is from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which allows searching for companies by SIC code in its database of filings.

	The Joint Gets the Point
		As the size of the federal market declines, this absolute preference has had devastating effects on private industry, particularly so in industries where the market is for unique federal items, i.e., mail bags and ammunition boxes, or where federal requirements predominate, i.e., systems furniture.
		SIC codes of different products were combined to meet the product definition: all steel and aluminum storage and shipping containers, including missile and ammunition containers.
		Industry commentators also objected to the treatment of these products as interchangeable although they are materially different in design and manufacture.

		Facilities subject to storm water effluent limitations guideline, new source performance standards, or toxic pollutant effluent standards under 40 CFR subchapter N (except facilities with toxic pollutant effluent standards which are exempted under category (xi)).

	Technical notes, Monthly Labor Review Online, July 1998
		The NAICS revision is much broader—many more industries are identified under the new system, and they are organized on the basis of their production activities (supply) alone, as opposed to the mixture of supply and demand characteristics used to classify industries under the SIC.
		Industrial classification systems provide the structure for collecting and aggregating economic data, as well as for analyzing, presenting, and disseminating such data.
		Newly developed industries in information services, health care provision, and even high-tech manufacturing cannot be adequately studied under the current SIC system because they are not separately identified at the most basic level of aggregation, the industry level.

	The trouble with SIC codes
		The problem with SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes is that they were never designed to describe a company's type of business.
		SIC codes tend to be configured more by similar manufacturing processes, rather than aggregating things that are competitive products, or competing for similar human resources.
		With classification systems such as SIC codes, it is no wonder that librarians also have to resort to brand name research and free text searching, in order to compile data on a company.

	SIC and NAICS Codes
		Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes are four digit numerical codes assigned by the U.S. government to business establishments to identify the primary business of the establishment.
		The classification was developed to facilitate the collection, presentation, and analysis of data; and to promote uniformity and comparability in the presentation of statistical data collected by various agencies of the federal government, state agencies, and private organizations.
		Although the principles of the system are the same as for the SIC system, individual industry classification numbers are longer (6 digits) and may vary considerably from the SIC codes.

	NAICS
		While different databases may use different subject terms, industry names, company name formats, and other coding schemes, the SIC system, developed by the U.S. government, is the most standard classification system for business articles and company name directory records.
		SIC and NAICS codes are both hierarchical numeric classification systems, with the first digit or two designating the broad industry sector and subsequent digits each reflecting more specific industry categories.
		SIC codes will continue to be supported in addition to the new NAICS codes until it is determined that there is no longer a market need for SICs.

		For purposes of industrial classification, wholesale establishments are classified in three- digit industry groups and four-digit industries according to the principal lines of commodity sold.
		Wholesalers may also be classified by type of operation, but this classification is independant of the industrial classification.
