Standard Industrial Classification - Establishments (SIC-E) 1980
Status: This standard was replaced by the 'North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 1997' as of March 16, 1998.
The 1980 Standard Industrial Classification Structure provides a list of codes and titles of the Divisions, Major Groups, Minor Groups and Classes that are found in the SIC-E.
The SIC-E is a system for classifying establishments according to their primary activity. It is used to facilitate the collection, tabulation, presentation and analysis of production and related data. As a reference manual, the SIC-E provides a classification structure; a classified index, which includes industry definitions and examples to clarify the content of each industry; an alphabetical index, comparison tables between this and the previous SIC; as well as an introduction specifying the concepts and definitions underlying the classification and providing a user's guide to the interpretation of the classification.
Please note that the SIC-E has been replaced by NAICS Canada. Once implementation of NAICS Canada is complete, the SIC-E will be discontinued.
