Introduction to ISIC 6 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 INTRODUCTION I.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND REVISION A.

Historical background 1.

The original version of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) was adopted in 1948.
In that connection the Economic and Social Council approved the following resolution: "The Economic and Social Council, Taking note of the recommendation of the Statistical Commission regarding the need for international comparability of economic statistics and, Taking note of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities which the Statistical Commission has developed with the advice and assistance of Member Governments, Recommends that all Member Governments make use of the International Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities either by: (a) Adopting this system of classification as a national standard, or (b) Rearranging their statistical data in accordance with this system for purposes of international comparability".1 2.
Wide use has been made of ISIC both nationally and internationally in classifying data according to kind of economic activity in the fields of economic statistics, population, production, employment, national income and others.

A number of countries have utilized the ISIC as the basis for developing their national industrial classification.
Substantial comparability has been attained between the industrial classifications of many other countries and the ISIC by ensuring, as far as practicable, that the categories at detailed levels of national classifications fitted into only one category of the ISIC.

An increasing number of countries have adapted their national activity classifications or can provide statistical series according to the ISIC.
The United Nations, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and other international bodies use the ISIC when publishing and analyzing statistical data.

3.

Experience in the use of ISIC has revealed the need for periodic review of the structure and definition of its categories and underlying principles.
Changes take place in the organization of economic activities and new types of economic activities become important.

New analytical requirements develop for data classified according to kind of economic activity.

The continuing 7 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 experience in the use of the ISIC and the corresponding national classifications reveal aspects which should be amplified, clarified or improved in other ways.
For these reasons the Statistical Commission therefore initiated reviews and revisions of the ISIC in 1956, 1965 and again in 1979.

In each instance the Commission emphasized the need to maintain as much comparability between the revised and preceding versions of the ISIC as was possible while introducing the alterations, modifications and other improvements.

4.

The first revision of the ISIC was issued in 1958, in the publication, Statistical Papers, Series M, No.
4, Rev.1, after it had been considered by the tenth session of the Statistical Commission2.

The second revision was issued in 1968 as Statistical Papers, Series M, No.

4, Rev.23 after being considered and approved by the fifteenth session of the Commission in 1968.

The third revision of the ISIC was considered and approved by the Statistical Commission at its twenty-fifth session and issued in 1990 as Statistical Papers, Series M, No.4, Rev.34.

5.
5.

Unlike previous revisions the third revision of the ISIC required harmonization with other activity classifications and with classifications of goods and services.

This requirement added considerable complexity and constraints that had not applied in earlier revisions of the ISIC.
As the ISIC occupies a central position in the international comparison and analysis of a wide range of statistics, a great deal of attention had been devoted to ensuring that the ISIC is compatible with the economic structure, the statistical practice and needs of the different countries in the world.
Although the general structure of the classification had not been changed significantly, a greater level of detail had been introduced, especially in the part dealing with service activities, reflecting the growth of this sector of the economy in most countries of the world.

The harmonization with other classifications improved the usefulness of ISIC for many analytical and descriptive purposes, for instance through the extended elaboration of services in the Central Product Classification (CPC).

The 2002 update to Revision 3 6.

In the ten years since the publication of the third revision of ISIC, the economic structure in many countries of the world has changed at an unprecedented rate.

The emergence of new technologies and new divisions of labour between organizations has created new types of activities and new forms of industries.

This poses a challenge for providers as well as users of statistical data.
In response to the growing demands of providers and users of data, the Expert Group on Economic and Social Classifications, at its fourth meeting in 1999, recommended that an update of the third revision of the ISIC be undertaken to better reflect changed structures and analytical requirements.

7.

In this update to ISIC Rev.3, the structure of the classification and the boundaries of its building blocks remain largely unchanged.
Attention has been paid to extended detail in the explanatory notes, allowing for more accurate interpretation of the content and boundaries of individual classes.

New activities that have emerged over the previous ten years are reflected in the new explanatory notes, allowing for easier, more consistent and thus less ambiguous application of the ISIC Rev.3.

8 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 8.

The definition of alternate aggregations for analytical use has been reviewed and updated.
While some of the aggregations previously published in the ISIC manual have now been replaced by defined aggregations in other specialized frameworks, new needs for aggregations have emerged.

The creation of an 'Information Sector' was requested by many countries in order to better reflect the importance for national economic activities related to the production and dissemination of information, as well as the interest of analysts in this evolving area.
In order to minimize the impact of the creation of this new category, following requests by most countries to preserve the existing structure of the ISIC while reflecting change of the economic reality, it was decided to create this 'Information Sector' in an alternate structure.

Experiences with the implementation and use of this alternate structure will be evaluated for inclusion in the regular structure of the classification in future revisions.
The definition of an alternate aggregation for the Informal Sector follows the need by many countries to have an internationally agreed definition for data collection and analysis in this area, which is extremely important for a large number of countries.

9.

As requested by the Statistical Commission at its thirtieth session, future work on ISIC will be guided by the need for convergence between existing activity classifications at the international and multi-national level.
This has been reflected in the creation and review of alternate aggregations, and to some degree in the extended definition of individual classes, drawing on research work already done for other classifications.

II.

THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OF THE CLASSIFICATION A.

1.

Purpose and nature of the classification General considerations 10.

In studying economic phenomena, taking all elements into account simultaneously is not always possible.
For purposes of analysis certain elements need to be chosen and grouped according to particular characteristics.

Thus, all economic processes that are to be described in the form of statistics require systematic classification.

Classifications are so to speak the system of languages used in communication about, and statistical processing of, the phenomena concerned.
They divide the universe of statistical data into categories which are as homogeneous as possible with respect to those characteristics which are the objects of the statistics in question.

11.

The ISIC is intended to be a standard classification of productive economic activities.

Its main purpose is to provide a set of activity categories that can be utilized for the collection and presentation of statistics according to such activities.
Therefore ISIC aims to present this set of activity categories in such a way that entities can be classified according to the economic activity they carry out.

Defining the categories of the ISIC is as much as possible linked with the way the economic process is organized in units and the way in which this process is described in economic statistics.

12.
12.

In this context it would be best if there were as many categories in ISIC as there are possible activities or if each production unit carried out only one activity.

In this case a unit 9 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 could be clearly classified in a certain category.

However, for practical reasons ISIC can only have a limited number of categories.

Carrying out only one activity may often be in conflict with the organization of activities and, as a result, in bookkeeping practices.
In addition, some types of data, such as financial data, are often available only for units performing several activities, which consequently are not homogeneous in respect of economic activity.

Another aspect of homogeneity is the distribution in geographic areas, particularly important for regional statistics.

Although the geographic aspect has, in principle, little to do with the activity classification, it does affect the formation of statistical units.
Therefore, the homogeneity of units relates to both activity and location.

13.

The requirements for homogeneity and data availability are sometimes in conflict with each other because the smaller or more homogeneous the unit, the less data may be available.

As explained in section D of this chapter, it is suggested that this problem be solved by using different units for different statistics, but to define them in such a way that each larger unit consists of a number of complete smaller units.
As a result comparisons can be made between the various statistics even when they use different units.

14.

The detail required in the classification of data by kind of economic activity differs from country to country.
Difference in the geographic and historical circumstances and in the degree of industrial development and organization of economic activities result in differences in the degree of elaboration in which various countries find it necessary or feasible to classify their data according to kind of economic activity.

The level of detail for purposes of international comparison is generally less than what is available for national analysis.
In chapter III it will be explained how the ISIC can be used or adapted for national purposes.

2.

Differences from other types of classifications 15.

The ISIC is a classification according to kind of economic activity, and not a classification of goods and services.

The activity carried out by a unit is the type of production in which it engages.

It is the characteristic of the unit according to which it will be grouped with other units to form industries.
An industry is defined as the set of all production units engaged primarily in the same or similar kinds of productive economic activity.

16.

As it is not possible, even in principle, to establish a one-to-one correspondence between activities and products, the ISIC is not designed to measure product data at any detailed level.

For this purpose a separate classification was developed, the Central Product Classification (CPC).
Although each category in the CPC is accompanied by a reference to the ISIC class where the goods or services are mainly produced (industrial origin criterion), classification of products is based on the intrinsic characteristics of the goods or the nature of the services rendered (see also chapter IV, section B).

17.
17.

The ISIC does not draw distinctions according to kind of ownership, type of legal organization or mode of operation because such criteria do not relate to the characteristics of the activity itself.

Units engaged in the same kind of economic activity are classified in the same category of the ISIC, irrespective of whether they are (part of) incorporated enterprises, 10 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 –21.02.2002 individual proprietors or government, and whether or not the parent enterprise consists of more than one establishment.

Similarly, manufacturing units are classified according to the principal kind of economic activity in which they engage, whether the work is performed by power-driven machinery or by hand, or whether it is done in a factory or in a household.

Modern versus traditional is not a criterion for ISIC, although the distinction may be useful in some statistics.
Also ISIC does not distinguish between formal and informal nor between legal and illegal production.

Classifications according to kind of legal ownership, kind of organization or mode of operation may be constructed independently of the classification according to kind of economic activity.

Cross-classification with the ISIC can provide useful extra information.

18.

In general, ISIC does not differentiate between market and non-market activities.
However, it should be emphasized that this distinction continues to be an important feature of the United Nations System of National Accounts.

A breakdown of economic activities according to this principle is useful in any case where data on value added are collected on activities that take place on both a market and non-market basis.

This criterion should then be cross-classified with the categories of the ISIC.
Non-market services are most frequently provided by government organizations or non-profit organizations in the field of education, health, social work, etc.

19.

This revision of ISIC includes categories for the undifferentiated production of goods and services by households for own use.

These categories, however, cover only a portion of households, as households with clearly identifiable activities (market or non-market) are classified in other parts of ISIC.
These categories have been created for special purposes, such as Labour Force Surveys, to cover households that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to assign to other ISIC categories.

B.

Principal, secondary and ancillary activities 20.

When discussing economic productive activities, the expression activity is to be understood as a process, i.e.

the combination of actions that result in a certain type of products.
In other words, an activity can be said to take place when resources such as equipment, labour, manufacturing techniques or products are combined, to produce specific goods or services.

Thus an activity is characterized by an input of resources, a production process and an output of products.

By convention, one single activity is defined as a process resulting in a homogeneous type of products.
In this context a homogeneous type of products means that they fall within a category, the production of which is characteristic of a class (the most detailed category) of the activity classification.

21.

One activity as defined here may consist of one simple process, e.g.

weaving, but may also cover a whole range of sub-processes, which each are mentioned in different categories of the classification.
For example, the manufacturing of a car is considered one activity even though its integrated production process includes sub-activities such as casting, forging, welding, assembling, painting, etc.

Moreover, if manufacturing of specific parts, such as engines, gearboxes, furniture or instruments, is organized as an integral part of the same manufacturing process, the whole combination of processes is regarded as one activity.

11 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 22.


Also, when an enterprise produces end-products, the production processes of which fall in different categories of the activity classification, the enterprise is supposed to carry out only one principal activity if these production processes are highly interrelated or integrated.
If, for instance, pumps and gear boxes are made and the casting for both products is done by the same employees with the same machines, one of the two processes should be considered a secondary activity; which one should be determined on the basis of the value added (see section E of this chapter).

23.

On the other hand, when two or more products of a homogeneous type are produced next to each other, but their production processes are not interrelated, i.e.
they are completely independent with respect to the organization of the production, these processes may be seen as different activities which are, however, similar with respect to the activity classification.

If, for example, pens and pencils are produced in the same enterprise, using, however, different inputs and different production techniques, the enterprise may be considered to carry out two activities even though they both fall in the same category of the classification.
This does not imply that as a consequence different production units must be distinguished.

24.

Distinction should be made between principal and secondary activities on the one hand and ancillary activities on the other.

The output of principal and secondary activities, which are consequently principal and secondary products, are produced for sale on the market, for provision free of charge or for other uses which are not prescribed in advance, e.g.
to stock them for future sale or for further processing.

Ancillary activities are undertaken in order to facilitate the principal or secondary activities of the entity.

25.

The principal activity of an economic entity is the activity that contributes most to the value added of the entity, or the activity the value added of which exceeds that of any other activity of the entity.

It is not necessary that the principal activity account for 50 per cent or more of the total value added of an entity.
The products resulting from a principal activity are either principal products or by-products.

The latter are products that are necessarily produced together with the principal products, e.g.

hides when producing meat by slaughtering animals.

In section E of this chapter it will be explained how, in practice, the principal activity of a statistical unit should be determined when classifying according to the ISIC.

26.
26.

A secondary activity is each separate activity that produces products eventually for third parties and that is not a principal activity of the entity in question.

The outputs of secondary activities are necessarily secondary products.

Most economic entities produce at least some secondary products.

27.
27.

Principal and secondary activities cannot be carried out without the support of a number of ancillary activities such as bookkeeping, transportation, storage, purchasing, sales promotion, cleaning, repair and maintenance, security, etc.

At least some of these activities are found in every economic entity.

Thus, ancillary activities are those that exist to support the main productive activities of an entity by providing non-durable goods or services entirely or primarily for the use of that entity.
12 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 28.

There are a number of characteristics of ancillary activities which can generally be observed in practice and which help to identify them as ancillary.

The output is always intended for intermediate consumption within the same entity and therefore it is usually not recorded separately.
Although most ancillary activities produce services, some goods producing activities may, by exception, be regarded as ancillary; the goods thus produced, however, may not become a physical part of the output of the main activity (examples are tools, scaffolding, etc.).

Ancillary activities are usually fairly small scale compared to the principal activity they support.

29.
29.

Since processes are generally not viable without the support of a certain number of ancillary activities, the latter should not be separated to form separate entities even though the ancillary activities may be carried out in a separate legal entity or in a separate location and even though separate records may be available (see also section D of this chapter).

Also, the ancillary activity should not count in determining the activity code of the entity to which the ancillary activities belong.
The value of the ancillary activities should be allocated to the principal and secondary activities of the unit they serve.

If no exact information on their distribution is available, they should be proportioned according to the value added of the principal and secondary activities.

The clearest examples of entities carrying out ancillary activities are central administrative offices or "head offices".
Other examples are sales departments, warehouses, garages, repair shops, electricity power plants and accounting or computer departments that primarily serve their parent units.

30.

Under the definition given in paragraph 27 the following activities are not to be considered ancillary.

Therefore, in all these cases, if separate data are available in respect to these activities, separate units should be distinguished and they should be classified by their own activities.
(a) Producing goods or doing work which are part of fixed capital formation.

The type of units most affected are those doing construction work on the account of their parent unit.
This approach is in accordance with the classification in the ISIC of own-account construction units for which data are available, to the construction industry; (b) Activities, the output of which, although used as intermediate consumption by the principal or secondary activity, is for the greater part sold on the market; (c) Producing goods which become a physical part of the output of the principal or secondary activity, e.g.
the production of boxes, tin cans or the like by a department of an enterprise, as packaging for its own products; (d) Research and development.

These activities are not universal and they do not provide services that are consumed in the course of current production.

31.

Where ancillary activities are organized in support of two or more entities of a multi-unit enterprise, they may constitute a central ancillary entity.
In such cases, and similarly when there is a strong interest to cover some activities entirely regardless of whether they are carried out independently or by ancillary entities (e.g.

computer activities), it could be expedient to make supplementary tabulations.

Ancillary entities could for this purpose be classified according to their own activity besides their classification to the activity of their parent unit.

For classification of separate units carrying out ancillary activities, see paragraph 95.
13 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 C. 1.

Principles used in constructing the classification Criteria in respect of divisions and groups 32.

The main criteria employed in delineating divisions and groups (the two- and three-digit categories, respectively) of the ISIC concern the characteristics of the activities of producing units which are strategic in determining the degree of similarity in the structure of the units and certain relationships in an economy.
The major aspects of the activities considered were (i) the character of the goods and services produced, (ii) the uses to which the goods and services are put, and (iii) the inputs, the process, the technology of production.
In delineating the divisions of the ISIC, attention was also given to the range of kinds of activity frequently carried out under the same ownership or control and to potential differences in scale and organization of activities and in capital requirements and finance that exist between enterprises.

Additional criteria used in establishing divisions and groups were the pattern of categories at various levels of classification in national classifications.

33.
33.

In the case of the character of the goods and services produced, account was taken of the physical composition and stage of fabrication of the items and the needs served by them.

Distinguishing categories of the ISIC in terms of nature of goods and services produced furnishes the basis for grouping producing units according to similarities in, and links between, the raw materials consumed and the sources of demand and markets for the items.

34.

The criteria relating to the economic transactors (e.g.
non-financial enterprises, financial institutions, government, households, etc.)

and to the types of transactions (e.g.

intermediate and final consumption, capital formation, etc.

), reinforce the considerations in respect of the stage of fabrication of, and the needs served by, these items.
Applying these criteria in establishing divisions and groups enhances substantially the value of the ISIC in distinguishing producing units according to sources of demand and markets for their output and in tracing ties among the producing units, and between them and the rest of the economy.

These criteria were also employed in ordering classes within groups and groups within divisions.

This improved the hierarchical structure of data arranged according to the ISIC.

35.
35.

The weights assigned to the types of criteria described above varied from one category to another.

In a number of instances, e.g.

food manufacturing, the textile, clothing and leather industries, the production of machinery and equipment and the service industries, the various aspects of activities are so highly correlated that the problem of assigning weights to the criteria did not arise.
In the case of intermediate products, physical composition and stage of fabrication of the items were often given the greatest weight.

In the case of goods with complicated production process, the end-use, technology and organization of production of the items were frequently given priority over the physical composition of the goods.

2.

Criteria in respect of the classes 36.


The criteria concerning the manner in which activities are combined in, and allocated among, establishments were central in the definition of classes (four-digit categories) of the ISIC.

They were intended to ensure that it will be practical most of the time to use the classes of 14 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 –21.02.2002 the ISIC for the industrial classification of establishments, and that the units falling into each class will be as similar in the kinds of activity in which they engage, as is feasible.
The classes of the ISIC are defined so that as far as possible the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) the production of the category of goods and services which characterizes a given class accounts for the bulk of the output of the units classified to that class, and (ii) the class contains the units that produce most of the category of goods and services that characterize it.

37.
37.

The first condition is required in order that establishments, or similar units, may be classified according to kind of economic activity uniquely and easily and in order that the units included in a given class will be as similar, to each other, as feasible.

For a more detailed explanation of these homogeneity ratios, see chapter IV, section F (paragraphs 124-129).

38.

The two conditions set limits to the detail of classification that may be achieved in the classes of the ISIC.
These classes must be defined in respect of combinations of activities in which establishments customarily engage in the case of the various countries of the world.

Establishments may, in practice, carry out a number of different activities; and the range of these activities will differ from one unit to another even though they engage in the same general kind of economic activity.
These differences will exist in the case of establishments within one country and will be more pronounced in the case of establishments in different countries.

It should be emphasized that the fact that the organization of production differs from country to country makes it likely that the classes of ISIC do not reflect the structure in each individual country.

39.

Another major consideration in forming categories in the ISIC was the relative importance of the activities to be included.
In general, separate classes are provided for kinds of activity which are prevalent in most countries, or which are of particular importance in the world economy.

The introduction of certain categories at the class and other levels of classification for purposes of attaining international comparability in the industrial classification of data have also affected the balance of the ISIC.

General Remarks 40.


Economic statistics describe the activities of economic transactors and the transactions that take place between them.

In the real world, economic entities engaged in the production of goods and services vary in their legal, accounting, organizational and operating structures.
To create statistics that are consistent across entities and internationally comparable, it is necessary to define and delineate standard statistical units to serve as units of observation for their collection and compilation.

Comparability of statistics is greatly enhanced when the units about which statistics are compiled are similarly defined and classified.

41.
41.

Economic entities have numerous characteristics and a variety of data are required about them that may be classified in many ways, among the most important of which are by institutional sector, by activity and by geographic region.

The need to classify statistical units by 15 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 these characteristics requires them to be as homogeneous as possible with respect to institutional sector, economic activity or location, and this plays an important role in their definition.
42.

Economic statistics are required by different users for various types of analysis.

The System of National Accounts are a principal user and they have particular requirements, but there are also other users including policy analysts, business analysts, and businesses themselves that use economic data for studying industrial performance, productivity, market share and other issues.
As different units within an economic entity are suitable for the compilation of different types of data, the type of data that are required is yet another factor in the definition and delineation of statistical units.

(a) Legal entities 43.

Most societies provide for the legal recognition of economic entities, under laws that enable them to define and register themselves as legal entities.

Legal entities are recognized by law or society, independently of the persons or institutions that own them.
The characteristics of a legal entity are that they own goods or assets, that they incur liabilities and enter into contracts.

44.

An example of a legal entity that would belong to the second type of institutional entity is a corporation, that owns or manages the property of the organization, enters into contracts, receives and disposes of its income, and maintains an independent, complete set of accounts, including profit and loss accounts and balance sheets.

45.
45.

Institutional units include persons or groups of persons in the form of households and legal or social entities whose existence is recognized by law or society independently of the persons or other entities that may own or control them.

(b) Institutional units 46.

Institutional units are the core unit of the System of National Accounts.

Subsequent definitions all embody the definition of this basic unit.
Institutional units are transactors in the system and must therefore be capable of engaging in the full range of transactions in their own right and on their own behalf.

47.

An institutional unit is capable of owning assets, incurring liabilities and engaging in economic activities and in transactions with other entities.

It may own and exchange goods and assets, is legally responsible for the economic transactions that it makes and may enter into legal contracts.
An important attribute of the institutional unit is that a set of economic accounts exists or can be compiled for the unit, and the set includes consolidated financial accounts and/or a balance sheet of assets and liabilities.

48.

The domestic economy is made up of the entire set of institutional units resident in the economy.
The institutional sector classification of the SNA defines five mutually exclusive institutional sectors within the economy, that group institutional units by virtue of their economic objectives, principal functions and behaviour.

(See SNA 93) 16 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 49.

In the majority of cases an institutional unit will be a single legal entity.

However, some corporations may be composed of legal entities set up for convenience as tax shelters or for other administrative reasons.
In such cases, for statistical purposes it is inappropriate and unnecessary to regard each legal entity as a separate institutional unit.

50.

Similarly if a corporation that has a principal activity supported by ancillary activities, that are registered as separate legal entities, they too would not constitute separate institutional entities.

51.
51.

Because the sector classification distinguishes separate financial and non-financial sectors, as long as the necessary financial accounts are available for each of them, it is necessary to define two separate institutional units, whenever possible, even if the two together have all the other attributes of an institutional unit and consolidated accounts are compiled for them as a single unit.

2.

Statistical units in the System of National Accounts 52.
The systematic description of the economy as represented by the System of National Accounts analyses two interrelated types of transactors and transactions for which two levels of statistical units are required.

In the income and outlay and capital finance accounts the concept of the enterprise and the sector classification for the analysis of financial transactions, is used.
In the production accounts the concept of the establishment, the international standard industrial classification and the central product classification, for the analysis of transactions in goods and services, is used.

(a) Enterprise 53.

An institutional unit in its capacity as a producer of goods and services is known as an enterprise.

54.
54.

An enterprise is an economic transactor with autonomy in respect of financial and investment decision-making, as well as authority and responsibility for allocating resources for the production of goods and services.

It may be engaged in one or many productive activities.

55.
55.

The enterprise is the level at which financial and balance sheet accounts are maintained and from which international transactions, an international investment position (when applicable) and the consolidated financial position can be derived.

56.

An enterprise may be a corporation, (or quasi corporation), a non-profit institution, or an unincorporated enterprise.

Corporate enterprises and non-profit institutions are complete institutional units.
An unincorporated enterprise, however, refers to an institutional unit- a household or government unit- only in its capacity as a producer of goods and services.

57.

The enterprise is the statistical unit for which financial statistics for the income and outlay accounts and capital finance accounts of the System of National Accounts are compiled.

They are classified to the sector classification of the SNA.

17 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 (b) Establishment 58.


The System of National Accounts describes the statistical unit to be defined and delineated for industrial or production statistics as the establishment.

The establishment is defined as an enterprise or part of an enterprise, that is situated in a single location and in which only a single (non-ancillary) productive activity is carried out or in which the principal productive activity accounts for most of the value added.

59.
59.

ISIC is designed for grouping units engaged in similar activities, for the analysis of production and the compilation of production statistics.

Although it is possible to classify enterprises according to their principal activities using ISIC and to group them into industries, some of the resulting industries are likely to be very heterogeneous when enterprises have secondary activities that are very different from their principal activities.
It therefore becomes necessary to partition large and complex enterprises into more homogeneous units, about which production data can be compiled.

This is particularly important when large enterprises account for a large proportion of the value added of the economy or of particular industries.

60.

Although the definition of an establishment allows for the possibility that there may be one or more secondary activities carried out, they should be on a small scale compared with the principal activity.
If a secondary activity within an enterprise is as important, or nearly as important, as the principal activity, then the unit is more like a local unit, described below.

It should be subdivided so that the secondary activity is treated as taking place within a separate establishment from that in which the principal activity takes place.

The definition of an establishment does not permit an ancillary activity to constitute an establishment on its own.

61.
61.

In the case of most small and medium sized businesses, the enterprise and the establishment will be identical, though the two different types of data described earlier will be compiled for each.

Large and complex enterprises engaged in many activities, belonging to different ISIC industries, will be composed of more than one establishment, provided that smaller more homogeneous production units for which production data can be compiled, can be identified with the desired geographic precision.

62.
62.

The data to be compiled for an establishment relate to its production activities.
They include the following: (a) The items included in the production account and the generation of income account such as revenues from the sale of goods and services, and all associated costs including employee remuneration, taxes on production and imports, subsidies, depreciation and a meaningful operating surplus; (b) Statistics of numbers of employees, types of employees and hours worked; (c) Estimates of the stock of capital and land used; (d) Estimates of changes in inventories and gross fixed capital formation undertaken.
3.

Delineating statistical units 18 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 63.

The universe of economic entities is composed of large and complex enterprises engaged in many different activities, horizontally or vertically integrated, that may be undertaken at or from many geographical locations and small enterprises engaged in one or a very few activities undertaken at or from one geographical location.

64.
64.

Enterprises have production units at which or from which they undertake the economic activity of producing goods and services.

Production usually takes place at a particular location - for example, at a mine, a factory, or a farm.

On the other hand, the activity of producing services may take place from a certain location.

Transportation services carry the product from the farm or factory gate to the purchaser.

They may also carry passengers from one place to another.
Even though transportation services are carried out by means of a network that operates over a wide geographical area it is assumed that the service originates from a certain location.

Similarly, Telecommunication services are attributed to a particular location from which the service is assumed to be delivered even though it too is carried out through a wired or wireless network that covers a wide geographical area.
Certain services may be delivered to the customer at the same location at which it is produced such as accommodation and certain food services However others, such as those of engineering consultants, originate at a certain location from which they may be delivered to the location of the customer.

65.
65.

The need to delineate statistical units arises in the case of large and complex economic entities in which the activities in which they are engaged fall into different classes of the standard industrial classification or the production units of which they are composed are located in different geographical areas 66.

In large and complex entities, the units at which or from which production takes place are grouped for management, administrative, and decision-making purposes into hierarchical structures.
Higher-level organizational units own, control, or manage the lower-level production units at which production decisions are made or production takes place.

An economic entity may be structured along geographical, legal, functional, or operational lines.

They may have one structure or several structures to carry out different functions or to serve different purposes.

67.
67.

In these entities, management of the financial affairs of the business usually occurs at a higher organizational level than does management of production operations.

The accounting systems of businesses usually reflect this management structure by mirroring the hierarchy of management responsibility for the operations of the business.
The accounts required to support the management and decision-making functions, whether financial or production, are usually maintained for the corresponding level of management responsibility.

68.

Enterprises also have a legal structure.

They define and register themselves in terms of legal units for the ownership of assets.

These legally constituted units or groups of units form the legal base of the business.
An enterprise derives its autonomy from the common ownership and control of its resources irrespective of the number of legal units under which it registers them.

They usually submit corporate tax returns to government revenue authorities for the legal units of their legal structure.

They may use the same or different units for other administrative purposes such as remitting payroll or value-added taxes to government authorities.

19 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 69.


In small enterprises, the operational and legal structures often coincide and may even be embodied in a single unit.

For large enterprises, the operational structure may be different from the legal structure, coinciding with it only at the highest level of the business.

In such cases, the organizational and production units of the enterprise’s operational structure may differ from the units of their legal structure.

70.
70.

The statistical units of large and complex institutional units may be delineated through a process referred to as profiling.

Profiling identifies the enterprise, its legal structure, its operating structure, and the production and organizational units that are used to derive the statistical units.

Once identified, the enterprise and its constituent establishments constitute the statistical units of the statistical structure.
In delineating the statistical structure, functional or other groups in the organizational structure may be ignored and the constituent units regrouped to form the units of the statistical structure.

For multi-establishment enterprises, the statistical structure may not coincide with the legal structure in which ownership of assets is registered.

71.
71.

As mentioned earlier for economic analysis, two main types of data are required to describe the economic activities of the units of which the economy is composed (1) financial statistics organized by institutional or other sectors and (2) production statistics classified by industry and, in some countries, by geographical area.

Usually the data are required for activities carried out within, or from within, domestic boundaries.
The two types of data are required separately, as well as integrated into the system of national accounts.

Thus two main statistical units need to be delineated, the enterprise for the compilation of financial statistics and the establishment (or kind of activity unit) for the compilation of production statistics.

72.

Economic statistics draw upon the accounting records of businesses.
The records that are maintained in support of financial decision-making, management, and control provide the data required for financial statistics.

Such records include consolidated profit and loss accounts and balance sheets of assets and liabilities.

That is the level at which the enterprise is delineated, as those are the data that need to be compiled for the unit.

73.

The source of information for production statistics and labor income statistics are often management and cost accounts.
These accounts record operating revenues earned from the sale of goods and services and the associated costs, wages and salaries, depreciation, and operating profits.

Within the organizational structure of the enterprise, the level of autonomy will determine the nature of data that will be available for the unit.
Countries that are more interested in the higher level of autonomy in terms of decision making, of the unit, rather than in the geographic location of the activity, may prefer to delineate and use the kind of activity unit.

This will be the case, particularly if they are not interested in compiling comprehensive production statistics for sub- national geographical regions.
However, if production statistics at a sub- national level of geographic detail are required, it will be necessary to delineate the smallest unit that is as homogeneous in terms of activity and geography as possible, for which revenues from the sale of goods and services, associated costs and value added can be compiled or estimated.

74.
74.

In those cases where the legal structure and the statistical structure based on production units does not coincide, statistical agencies will need to articulate the statistical structure and compile data with the help of surveys.

.

The legal structure may consist of units created purely 20 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 for tax purposes that are in no way relevant for the purpose of representing the producing units of the enterprise.
However, if it is necessary to draw on tax records for the required data or if survey data needs to be supplemented with tax data, statistical agencies will have to decide whether they can find a way to map the legal and statistical structure of the enterprise or whether they prefer to use the legal structure selectively as a proxy for the statistical structure.

75.

The statistical structure delineates and identifies the units about which data are to be compiled.
However the data may have to be collected from higher or lower level units which are then described as collection entities.

With increasing globalization, some multinational global enterprises are keeping integrated accounting records at the global or regional level and it is becoming increasingly difficult to separate and extract complete accounts for all the activities taking place within each domestic economy, without obtaining the data from the main or regional head office of the global enterprise.
Attributing the value of production and value added to domestic economies is particularly complicated when a global enterprise draws on production carried out in different domestic economies, assembles it in one or another of them, and then manages and maintains accounts for the distribution centres in the different economies under a separate division of the global enterprise.
The enterprise may maintain separate accounting records for all its production activities and all its distribution activities in all the economies in which it operates, in the first instance and only later, attribute revenues and costs to each domestic economy for purposes of submitting tax returns to the revenue authorities.

4.

National differences and application of statistical units 76.

The concept of the establishment combines both an activity dimension and a locality dimension.
It is based on the assumption that the aim of the statistical program is to compile data classified both by activity and by geographical region.

However, ISIC can be used to classify numerous variables including those that are needed to analyze production and industrial performance.
In examining the accounting and operating structures of enterprises it is possible that producing units with differing levels of homogeneity with respect to activities and geographical precision will be found and that they may be suitable for the compilation of data on selected variables, for example, numbers employed or even for the compilation of production statistics because all the necessary information to compile meaningful operating profit is available.

77.
77.

While it may be desirable to give a complete account of possible statistical units, their definition in theoretical terms and in actual statistical applications, their delineation and their use in different forms of statistical data collection, one has to realize that it is impossible to do this at a world wide level in a way that would allow their immediate application in any given country.
There are many factors that play a role in defining the best statistical unit for a given form of data collection, including the structure of the legal system in a country, including regulations for the organization of businesses, the particular structure of the industries involved, the type of data collection involved, the purpose and targeted level of data collection etc.
The System of National Accounts discusses a wider range of statistical units that can serve as models, but may still be adjusted for reasons of national specifics and according to the type of data collection involved.

See chapter V of the System of National Accounts (SNA1993)5 for more information.

21 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 E. Classification of statistical units 1.

General guidelines 78.


In the following paragraphs a number of general rules of interpretation are given which could be helpful when classifying more complex statistical units.

It should be noted that the explanatory notes to some sections and divisions of the ISIC also indicate how to treat such cases.

The rules given here are either explicitly or implicitly mentioned in the above text.

79.
79.

The activity classification of each unit is determined by the ISIC class in which the principal activity, or range of activities, of the unit is included.

Secondary and ancillary activities are to be disregarded when classifying a unit.

The principal activities of the unit in general can be determined from the goods that it sells or ships or the services that it renders to other units or consumers.
The descriptions and explanatory notes of the individual classes in ISIC should be used to determine the activities carried out in terms of ISIC categories, using not only the output structure, but also the input structure and the production process.

80.

Ideally, the principal activity of the unit should be determined by reference to the value added to the goods sold or services rendered.

In practice it is often not possible to obtain the information on value added for individual products.
It is therefore recommended that in such cases, the principal activity be determined by other criteria as an approximation, such as: - the proportion of the gross output of the unit that is attributable to the goods or services associated with these kinds of activity - value of sales of those groups of products - employment according to the proportion of people engaged in the different activities 81.
Instances may arise where considerable proportions of the activities of a unit are included in more than one class of the ISIC.

These cases may result from the vertical integration of activities, e.g.

tree felling combined with saw-milling or a clay pit combined with a brickworks; or the horizontal integration of activities which cannot be segregated into separate statistical units, e.g.
the manufacture of hides and skins in slaughterhouses; or the combination of any activities which cannot be separated at the level of the statistical unit.

In these situations the unit should be classified according to the rules set out below.

2.

Treatment of mixed activities (a) Treatment of independent multiple activities 82.
If a unit is engaged in several types of independent activities, but the unit itself cannot be segregated into separate statistical units (for example, manufacture of bakery products combined with manufacture of chocolate confectionery), the unit should be classified to the ISIC class with the largest share of value added by using the “top-down” method.
In this case first the appropriate highest classification (one-digit level) should be determined, then the lower (two- and three-digit) levels and finally the class (four-digit level).

If value added cannot be determined for the activities involved, approximations as set out above can be used, provided that their application to the different activities is consistent.

22 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 83.


The “top-down” method may identify an activity as the principal activity of the unit, even though this activity does not account for the largest overall share of value added.

However, this approach ensures better consistency with aggregated data.

Following is an example for applying the “top-down” method to determine the classification code for a statistical unit.
Example - Identifying the principal activity of a reporting unit using the top-down method The identification of the principal activity is done in five steps: 1.

List the activities carried out by the unit, attributing to each appropriate class of ISIC Rev.

3.1 the value added (or another relevant measure if it is not possible to calculate the value added - see paragraph 80).

2.

Determine the section of ISIC Rev.

3.1 that has the highest share of the chosen measure.

3.
3.

Within this section, determine the division of ISIC Rev.

3.1 that has the highest share of the chosen measure.

4.

Within this division, determine the group of ISIC Rev.

3.1 that has the highest share of the chosen measure.

5.

Within this group, determine the class of ISIC Rev.

3.1 that has the highest share of the chosen measure.

This class identifies the principal activity.
Example: Step 1: A reporting unit may carry out the following activities: Section Division Group Class Description of the class 28 281 2812 291 2915 2922 Manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery 292 2924 Manufacture of machine-tools 343 511 515 2925 3430 Manufacture of machinery for mining, quarrying and construction Manufacture of parts and accessories for motor vehicles and their engines 5110 Wholesale on a fee or contract basis 5159 742 7421 Wholesale of other machinery, equipment and supplies Architectural and engineering activities and related technical consultancy D 29 34 51 74 G K Share of value added 7% 8% 3% 21% 8% 5% 7% 28% 13% 23 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 – 21.02.2002 The principal activity is then determined as follows: Step 2: Identify the section Section D Section G Section K Manufacturing Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal and household goods Real estate, renting and business activities 52% 35% 13% Step 3: Identify the division (within section D) Division 28 Division 29 Division 34 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.
Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi- trailers 7% 40% 5% Step 4: Identify the group (within division 29) Group 291 Group 292 Manufacture of agricultural and forest machinery Manufacture of machine-tools 8% 32% Step 5: Identify the class (within group 292) Class 2922 Class 2924 Class 2925 Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery Manufacture of machine-tools Manufacture of machinery for mining, quarrying and construction 3% 21% 8% The principal activity is, therefore: "2924 Manufacture of machine-tools", although the class with the biggest share of value added is class: "5159 Wholesale of other machinery, equipment and supply".
If the allocation had been made directly to the class with the largest share of value added this would have achieved the strange result of putting this enterprise outside manufacturing.

(b) Treatment of vertical integration 84.


Vertical integration of activities occurs where the different stages of production are carried out in succession by the same unit and where the output of one process serves as input to the next, for example, tree felling combined with saw milling, a clay pit combined with a brickworks or production of synthetic fibres associated with a textile mill.

24 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 85.


A unit with a vertically integrated chain of activities should generally be classified to the class indicated by the nature of the final products.

For instance, in the above example, tree felling combined with saw milling should be classified as sawmilling in class 2010 (Sawmilling and planing of wood).

There are, however, some exceptions to this general rule for practical reasons.

These exceptions are described in the explanatory notes of the affected classes.
Some examples of exceptions are: - integrated growing of grapes and manufacture of wine is classified in agriculture (0113), not manufacturing, to account for the specific organization of these activities - finishing of textiles made in the same unit is classified with the manufacture of the textiles in class 1711, 1729 or 1730, reflecting the character of the unit, i.e.

a textile mill etc.
a textile mill etc.

- retail sale of self-manufactured products is not considered a separate activity and therefore classified in manufacturing, not in retail trade.

If, however, in addition to self-produced goods other products are also sold, the rules for the treatment of mixed independent activities have to be applied.

(c) Treatment of horizontal integration 86.

Horizontal integration of activities occurs when activities are carried out simultaneously using the same factors of production.
In this case it will not be possible to separate them statistically into different processes, assign them to different units or generally provide separate data for these activities.

In this case, rules relying on allocation of value added or similar measures are not applicable.

Alternative indicators, such as gross output, may sometimes be applicable, but there is no general rule for identifying the single activity that best represents the mix included in this horizontal integration.
As patterns of horizontal integration have been considered in the preparation of the classification, in many cases commonly integrated activities are either included in the same class or explicit rules for their treatment have been supplied.

3.

E-commerce 87. Business units receive orders and transact the sale of goods and services produced, by a variety of means, for example by telephone, fax, TV, EDI, Minitel and the Internet.
Many countries have chosen to describe the business transaction that transfers the ownership of the goods or service, when it is done through the Internet or other electronic means, as e-commerce.

88.

There are three stages in the transfer of the ownership of a good or service – the placement of the order, the payment and the delivery of the good or service.
E-commerce transactions may be defined to include situations when only the first, the first and second, or all three stages are conducted through the Internet or other electronic means.

89.

For many business units e-commerce is just one of the variety of means by which sales are transacted.

The rules for the industrial classification of such units remains unchanged, they are classified to the industry of their principal activity.
Increasingly, however, business units that sell goods and supply services exclusively through the Internet are coming into existence.

Such units should also be classified to the industry of their principal activity.

Business units engaged in e-commerce will therefore be found in any industry of ISIC.
It should be noted that the only exception to this rule is that in Retail Trade business units that undertake their sales exclusively 25 or predominantly through the Internet are classified within the industry group 525 (Retail trade not in stores) to class 5251.

DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 4.

Repair and maintenance 90.

Units that repair or overhaul capital goods are to be classified in the same class as the units that produce the goods.
Three main exceptions exist to this rule: - repair and maintenance of motor vehicles and motorcycles is classified in class 5020 and 5040, respectively; - repair of personal and household goods is classified in class 5260; - repair and maintenance of computers and office equipment is classified in class 7250.

5.

Activities on a fee or contract basis 91.


Except in cases where special categories occur, units carrying out activities on a fee or contract basis are to be classified in the same class as units that produce for their own account and risk.
Conversely, units which sell goods or services under their own name and for their own risk but have the actual production done by others are to be classified as if they produce the goods or services themselves, provided that they have considerable influence on the conception of the products or, in the case of the manufacturing industry, they own the materials to be transformed.

6.

Government activities 92.


ISIC does not make any distinction regarding the institutional sector to which a statistical unit belongs.

For instance, there is no category that would describe all activities carried out by the government as such.

Activities carried out by government units which are specifically attributable to other areas of the ISIC should be classified in the appropriate class of ISIC and not in division 75 "Public administration and defence; compulsory social security".
For instance, public hospitals will be classified in class 8511.

7.

Classification of enterprises 93.

Since the activities of an enterprise sometimes cover a great variety of ISIC groups or classes, it may be appropriate for certain statistics to classify them at the division level only.

In any case, when such a unit is to be classified at a lower level of the classification, the top-down approach as set out in item 2 of this section (paragraphs 82-83) should be used.

94.
94.

The classification of a multi-activity enterprise should be determined from the value added by its constituent units.

Such a unit should be classified in the category of the ISIC that covers the kinds of activity of the constituent units that account for the principal amount of value added.

For example, in the case of establishments of an enterprise that make up a vertical chain of production, it gives proportional weight to establishments included in each portion of the chain.
The use of the principle also makes it feasible to determine the category of an industrial 26 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 classification to which an enterprise is to be assigned directly from the categories of the classification to which its constituent units are classified.

95.
95.

If data are not available on the value added of the constituent units of enterprises, figures on employment, or wages and salaries paid by these units might be used in order to determine their preponderant class of activities.

As far as possible use should be made of net measures of the activities of the establishment-type units.

Figures of the gross output of these units can be misleading.
The portion of the gross output of each establishment that is accounted for by the value added there can vary markedly from one unit to another.

In some instances, e.g.

when it concerns industries with a very high investment quota and relatively low wage quota, the value of assets in each constituent unit may also be taken into account when weighing the different activities while determining the preponderant class.

96.
96.

The classification of entities engaged in ancillary activities, particularly central administrative offices, according to the predominant kind of activity of the establishments served by them, may in some cases, be questionable or difficult.

The predominant kind of activity may account for much less than half of the total activity of the establishments served, or these establishments and the central administrative office may be located in different countries.
This has led to the provision of a special category for central administrative offices in the case of some national industrial classifications.

The special category is included under the equivalent of business activities in the ISIC (class 7414).

8.

Classification of enterprises 97.

Previous versions of ISIC have included categories for the classification of households when they were employers of domestic personnel.

This included households employing maids, gardeners, cooks etc.
As employment is generated, data on these units has been collected for various statistics, usually outside of the general business statistics.

98.

Outside of this existing category the need to describe activities of households for own use has emerged in data collections, such as in Labour Force Surveys.
While market activities should generally be described according to existing rules for identifying the correct ISIC code for an activity, the application of these rules for activities producing goods and services for own use has proven difficult.

These activities often combine agricultural, construction, textile manufacturing, repair and other services.

In general it is not possible to assign value added ratios to these activities and reasonably identify a primary activity.
To provide a place for these mixed activities in the classification, two new divisions have been created.

These new divisions 96 (Undifferentiated goods-producing activities of private households for own use) and 97 (Undifferentiated service-producing activities of private households for own use) will normally not be relevant in business statistics, but in data collections covering household and subsistence activities.

F. Structure and coding system of the classification 27 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 – 21.02.2002 99.

In comparison with ISIC, Rev.2 the general structure of ISIC, Rev.3 was not essentially changed.

However, more detail was introduced, especially at the one- and two-digit levels in the services areas.

Request for this change was made by both producers and users of statistics.

This update to ISIC, Rev.3, again does not alter the structure at any of the higher levels.

100.
100.

The versions of ISIC up to Revision 2 used a hierarchical system of categories that were entirely coded in terms of Arabic numbers, arranged on a decimal system.

This system was considered to be more universally applicable than one employing letters or roman numerals.

It also met the requirements of offices using data processing equipment.

ISIC, Rev.2 had nine one-digit categories that were most of the time further subdivided into a maximum of nine sub-categories at each subsequent level.

101.
101.

During the third revision, new needs added considerable complexity to the revision process of ISIC.

While trying to keep as much comparability as possible by introducing only those changes upon which there was a wide measure of agreement, a more balanced structure than was the case with ISIC, Rev.2 between higher and lower level categories was also deemed important.
In the previous revision some one-digit categories were undivided and others were broken down into many sub-categories often up to the four-digit level.

As a result, some classes deserved more weight than some categories at higher levels of the classification, in terms of economic importance.

102.
102.

The necessity for economic statistics to reflect the structure of an economy in a modern way, giving due consideration to the increasing importance of some service industries in terms of their contribution to the GDP, made the use of a new coding system inevitable.

In devising the coding system for ISIC, Rev.3, a separation was introduced in the coding structure in order to make the classification responsive to the tabulation needs of certain users.
This was accomplished by the use of letters at the one-digit level to single out broad tabulation categories, in contrast to the coding itself which would remain purely numerical at the two-, three- and four-digit levels.

103.

The two-digit categories were grouped in clusters of multiples of five, which theoretically allowed for twenty of such clusters instead of only ten at the highest level of the classification.
They represent the most important sectors of the economy of most countries: agriculture, fishing, mining, manufacturing, energy supply, construction, trade, hotels and restaurants, transport, finance, business activities, public administration, education, health, community service activities, households and extra-territorial bodies.

For reasons of tabulation, these sectors were coded with a Latin capital letter.

104.
104.

For quick comparisons, it should be noted that the Tabulation Categories of ISIC, Rev.3 can easily be converted into the one-digit Major Divisions of ISIC, Rev.2.

This conversion can be done as follows: Tabulation Categories A+B equals old Major Division 1; C=2; D=3; E=4; F=5; G+H=6; I=7; J+K=8; L to Q=9.

The main exception is Research and Development, which was transferred from Major Division 9 to new section K. These relationships remain unchanged in ISIC Rev.3.1.

28 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
28 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 105.

The names given to the categories at the different levels were changed from the second revision.

This was done for two reasons.

First, it seemed better to discontinue the use of a name in combination with a number of digits as used in ISIC, Rev.2.

This may prevent people from confusing categories from Rev.3 with those from Rev.2.

Only "Division" for the two-digit categories was maintained.
The second reason was to harmonize the use of category names with other classifications of the United Nations, e.g.

the SITC and CPC.

For practical reasons the tabulation categories are called "sections", the two-digit categories "divisions", the three-digit categories "groups" and the four-digit categories "classes".

106.
106.

While the Tabulation Categories are assigned Latin letters, the Arabic numbers assigned to a given category of the ISIC may be read as follows: the first and second digits, taken together, indicate the division in which the category is included; the first three digits identify the group and all four digits indicate the class.

The ISIC is now comprised of 17 Sections, which are then further subdivided into a total of 62 Divisions, 161 Groups and 297 Classes.
The added detail has considerably increased the number of these categories compared to ISIC Rev.2.

The changes made in this update to ISIC Rev.3 resulted in the creation of only 5 new classes.

107.

In cases where a given level of the classification is not divided into categories of the next more detailed level of classification, "0" is used in the code position for the next more detailed level.
For example, the code for group "Fishing" is 050 since the division "Fishing" (code 05) is not divided into groups.

Or, the code for class "Mining of uranium and thorium ores" is 1200 because the division "Mining of uranium and thorium ores" (code 12) is neither divided into groups nor into classes.
The group "Cargo handling" is coded 6301 as the division "Supporting and auxiliary transport activities" (code 63) is not divided into groups but the group "Supporting and auxiliary transport activities" (code 630) is divided into classes.

For use in computers the "0" could also be used to indicate that a total is used of all more detailed categories.

So the code 2690 could be used for the total of 2691-2699 and 3300 could represent the total of 3311-3330.
The same could of course be done by using the next higher level of the classification, but in some instances it may be appropriate to use the same format, i.e.

number of digits, for all code numbers.

III.

APPLICATION OF THE CLASSIFICATION A.

General remarks 108.

The Statistical Commission has recommended that countries classify data according to the ISIC, or according to categories convertible to the ISIC, in such areas of statistics as production, employment or national accounts.
The ISIC is being utilized by the United Nations and other international and national bodies in assembling and publishing internationally comparable data for a wide range of statistical series classified according to kind of economic activity.

The International Conference of Labour Statisticians has also made explicit references to ISIC in respect of several areas of labour statistics.

109.

The application of ISIC far exceeds the traditional areas such as data collection in industrial statistics.
It includes applications for methodological work and policy decisions, such 29 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 as descriptions of barriers to trade in the system of Foreign Direct Investment, the activities of Foreign affiliates for Statistics on International Trade in Services or work related to the functions of government.

For many purposes, ISIC is used in conjunction with or as proxy for other classifications, such as the Classifications of Expenditure According to Purpose6.

110.
110.

ISIC is intended to meet the needs of those who are looking for data classified according to internationally comparable categories of kind of economic activity.

Its purpose is not to supersede national classifications, but to provide a framework for the international comparison of national statistics.
Where national classifications differ from the international classification, this comparison may be achieved by regrouping figures obtained under national classifications, but to do this, all the elements required for such a rearrangement need to be obtainable from the national statistics.

111.
111.

In order to attain international comparability, it is suggested to all countries that, so far as individual requirements permit, they adopt the same general principles and definitions in their industrial classification schemes.

The principles and definitions which were developed for this purpose and which are embodied in the ISIC are set out above (see Chapter B).
As a result, it should be feasible to rearrange and combine entire categories of national classifications so that they correspond to one or more categories of ISIC.

This is, however, not always feasible because certain categories at the most detailed level of the ISIC may not be distinguished in the industrial classifications of some countries.

112.
112.

The character and definition of categories of the ISIC can also serve as a useful guide to those countries who are developing an activity classification for the first time, or to those who are revising an existing one.

A number of countries have utilized the ISIC in this way.

113.

The international classification provides categories for economic activities which are important in nearly every country or which, while found only in some countries, are of considerable importance in the world economy.
In delineating these individual categories, the ISIC reflects the structure of production, i.e., the way in which economic activities are combined in, and distributed among, producing units in most countries.

114.

The United Nations Statistics Division has put in place mechanisms to distribute relevant information on international classifications, including ISIC, their revisions, their applications and interpretations and on national specifications and adaptations.
With these ISIC may serve as model and provide guidelines for the development of national classifications.

These tools or information about them can be accessed through the web site of the United Nations Statistics Division (http://www.un.org/Depts/unsd/class).

B.

Use of the ISIC in establishing related national classifications 115.
Regarding the relationship between ISIC and related national activity classifications, one may distinguish two broad groups of countries: (a) countries who have developed their own national classifications and who ISIC as essentially based on, or derived from, these; and (b) countries who see their own national classification as one which is based on, or derived from, ISIC.

Countries in the second group often lack the infrastructure required to develop and 30 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 –21.02.2002 maintain their own activity classification, and may therefore adopt ISIC as their national activity classification with little or no modification.

116.

The desire for international comparability does, however, not imply that countries have to adopt ISIC as a whole, without modification.

The intention is rather to have countries using ISIC as a guideline to adapt their national classifications to the international standard.
Adapting ISIC specifics of the national economy while maintaining international comparability requires observation of a number of rules outlined below.

C. Aggregation and disaggregation of ISIC 117.

When adapting ISIC to national circumstances, its categories may be aggregated or further detailed to better reflect the structure of the national economy of the country.
If a particular economic sector is economically of great importance or has developed important specializations not separately identified in ISIC, the relevant part of the classification can be further disaggregated.

If some other sector of the economy does not exist or is still undeveloped or unimportant in the economy as a whole, the relevant part of the classification can be treated at a more aggregated level.
It is not the intention to suggest data collection for categories, which would require all kinds of artificial or arbitrary splits of the existing statistical units.

118.

In order to make a national activity classification convertible to the ISIC, the categories at the most detailed level of classification in the national scheme should, on the whole, coincide with, or be subdivisions of, the individual classes of the ISIC.
In other words, any most detailed category of the national classification should not cover selected portions of two or more classes of the ISIC.

When national categories have to represent combinations of two or more entire classes of the ISIC, the classes should be part of the same group.

Then the convertibility of the national classification to the ISIC would not be affected by the position or the manner of grouping of the categories at the detailed level of the classification in the national scheme.
119.

To serve national purposes, categories in the ISIC structure may be disaggregated by subdividing the relevant classes into subclasses.

This may be done by appending decimal places to the four-digit code that identifies each class of the ISIC.

Alternatively, the subdivision of groups into classes in the ISIC may be expanded by replacing the existing classes with a greater number of more detailed categories.
In order to preserve comparability with the classes of the ISIC, the more detailed classes should be delineated so that they may be aggregated to classes.

120.

Extending the four-digit codes of the ISIC may be unnecessary if, to meet national requirements, the only classes to be subdivided are those which are identical to groups.

These classes of the ISIC are identified by four-digit codes ending in "0 and may be replaced by as many as nine classes, identified by specific four-digit codes.

121.
121.

ISIC categories may be aggregated by e.g.

combining the classes of selected groups into fewer, less detailed classes, or by entirely telescoping classes into groups.

It may be desirable or necessary to raise categories at the most detailed level of classification of national schemes that, in certain instances, combine classes of the ISIC.

This may be because the kinds of activity segregated by selected classes of the ISIC are not important enough in a given 31 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 – 21.02.2002 country.

Or, it may be due to a much smaller degree of specialization in the activities of the statistical units than is required in order to use certain classes of the ISIC in the national scheme.
Some countries may for example find it impracticable to establish categories in their national classifications which are similar to the individual categories of divisions 29 to 32 (Manufacture of machinery), since, for instance, the majority of establishments engaging in activities of class X may also carry out the activities of class Y and vice versa, which would make it impractical to separate these activities in the national classification.
They may need to combine some of, or all, the groups or classes into single categories at the most detailed level of classification of their national scheme.

122.

It should be kept in mind that combining classes into higher aggregates, either at the group level or elsewhere, will limit comparability of data at the international level to that level or even higher aggregates.

The latter can happen if countries decide to aggregate some of the four- digit classes within, for example, group 291.
If two countries aggregate classes within group 291, comparability of their data will not be available at their respective aggregated level, but only at the higher level of group 291.

The combining of classes should therefore carefully consider the impact on comparability for data compiled according to these new categories.

D. Capturing and coding to ISIC information about the activity of units 123.
The quality as well as the comparability of the statistics produced according to ISIC will depend upon the correctness of the codes assigned to the statistical units.

This will again depend on the information available for determining the correct code and upon the tools and procedures used for this determination.

124.

To some extent the quality of the information will depend upon the type of statistical source.
The quality of information collected for administrative registrations will depend on the extent to which this information has a function in the administrative procedures for which the registrations are being made, and what kind of distinctions this function will require, e.g.

whether tax rules, social security regulations, the rules for investment credits or the services provided by employment agencies will require precise registration of the type of activity undertaken.
The statistical offices therefore will frequently need to collect directly from the units the information needed to determine the activity codes of the units, even when the register used as basis for its surveys is based on or developed in cooperation with one or more of the administrative agencies.

Given the basis for ISIC the information needed to code for the register as well as the surveys will describe the main products, i.e.

goods, services or function, of the units` productive activities.
For units with a wide range of products, information about it will also be necessary to get information about their contributions to the value added or other relevant factors with which to determine their main activity.

This information must be obtained from the units, and care must be taken to ensure that those individuals who will provide the information on behalf of the units will understand the type of information needed so that they can find it in the units’ records or from their own knowledge.
Thus testing of question formulations is as important with establishment surveys as it is with household surveys.

For household surveys and population censuses it is recommended to get information both about the name and address of the place of work and the main products made there.

Then it may be possible to get the correct code either from a matching unit in the register or on the basis of the product information.

For the registers 32 DRAFT ISIC Rev.


3.1 –21.02.2002 as well as for the two types of surveys finding the correct codes on the basis of the product information will be greatly facilitated by a well-organized and comprehensive coding index.

E. Use of different levels of the classification for the presentation of statistics 125.
It may be desirable to utilize less detailed classification categories of kind of economic activity for some types of statistics than for other series, and the number and size of the categories for which reliable statistics may be presented may depend on the type of source for the statistics as well as confidentiality considerations.
For example, it may not be feasible to present data on employment gathered in household inquiries in as great detail as data on employment obtained from establishment inquiries.

Or, it may not be necessary to present data according to kind of economic activity in as great detail in national accounting as in industrial statistics.
By providing for four levels of classification (sections, divisions, groups and classes) the ISIC furnishes a framework for comparable classifications of data at different levels of detail.

It is important to note, however, that the fact that a category has been defined at the ‘class’ level in ISIC will not prevent it from being larger in a particular national economy than a category defined at the ‘group’ level or even at the level of division or section, as will be the case with e.g.
division B “Fishing” v. class 8021 “General secondary education” in many countries.

Thus it may be inappropriate to specify tabulation programmes as tabulation for a particular level of aggregation for ISIC.

126.

Similarly, for specialized surveys on a limited number of industries, the detail provided by ISIC, even at its most detailed level, will often not be sufficient for the required analysis.

In these cases, ISIC classes can be subdivided further as necessary for specific purposes.
It is, however, suggested that the new detailed categories can still be aggregated to the existing ISIC classes for comparability reasons.

F. Compilation of homogeneity ratios 127.

Despite the endeavour made to define the classes of the ISIC or the most detailed level of any other national activity classification, in such a way that the two conditions described in para.
55 are satisfied, some of the activities of establishments, or similar units, which are classified to a given class will be characteristic of other classes of the classification.

In compiling data classified according to kind of economic activity, it will therefore be valuable to compute measures of homogeneity in respect of kinds of activity for the units falling into the various categories of the scheme of classification.

128.
128.

The two most important ratios to assess the homogeneity of the various categories are the specialization ratio and the coverage ratio.

The specialization ratio of an industry is the output by that industry of goods or services characteristic to that industry in proportion to its total output.

The coverage ratio is the output of goods or services characteristic to the industry in proportion to the total output of the same goods or services by the economy as a whole.

129.
129.

When calculating these ratios a number of problems should be kept in mind.

Some products can be characteristic of more than one industry (e.g.

by-products that occur by necessity); some other products may be non-characteristic for any particular industry (e.g.

waste) 33 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 and some may have to be declared characteristic to one or more industries by convention (e.g.

industrial repair services).


In such cases judgement should be exercised in interpreting the calculated ratios.

130.

It should also be noted that the creation of an industry with high ratios is no guarantee for useful statistics or that a category with low ratios is not useless by definition.

It is very well feasible to create a category with a high specialization or coverage ratio which, however, in economic terms is negligible.
On the other hand, a category with a relatively low coverage ratio but high specialization ratio may well provide useful information for further analysis.

The ratios should therefore not be used as the only determining factors when establishing an industry classification, but always in combination with other criteria.

131.
131.

The homogeneity ratios might be computed in respect of the total gross output of the units classified to each class of the classification or, preferably though more burdensome, in respect of the gross output of the individual statistical units.

In the latter case, the establishments or similar units which fall into the various categories of the industrial classification, would be arrayed according to class intervals of the homogeneity ratio.
Especially the specialization ratio should be a determining criterion when classifying a unit.

132.

Homogeneity ratios can also be calculated in respect of the classification of kind of activity units or establishments to the groups or divisions as well as to the classes of the ISIC.

It will also be desirable to compute homogeneity ratios in respect of the classification of enterprises to the divisions of the Industrial Classification.
Some enterprises will own establishments the principal kind of activity of which falls outside the scope of the division to which the enterprise is classified.

The homogeneity ratios of enterprises might be based on the value added, or, if necessary, the employment, of the constituent units.

It would indicate the proportion of the total value added, or employment, of enterprises accounted for by the constituent units classified to the same division as the owning enterprise.
Such ratios would be extremely valuable in order to assess the degree of comparability of enterprise data from different countries.

IV.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER CLASSIFICATIONS A.

General remarks 133.

The Statistical Commission had requested the Secretariat to prepare a set of classifications which together would form an integrated system for classifying activities, goods and services and that could be used in different kinds of economic statistics.
Using the Integrated System of Classifications of Activities and Products (SINAP) as a basis, the work resulted in the revision of the ISIC and SITC and the development of the CPC.

These three classifications are strongly interrelated.

The ISIC represents the activity side of the system, the CPC is the central instrument for classifying goods and services and the SITC is the aggregated classification for transportable goods for international trade statistics for analytical purposes.
Both the CPC and the SITC use the headings and subheadings of the HS as building blocks for their categories.

34 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 B.

Relationship with product classifications: CPC, HS and SITC, Rev.3 134.
The relationship between the ISIC on the one hand and the product classifications HS, CPC and SITC on the other lies in the fact that the product classifications in principle combine in one category goods or services which are normally produced in only one industry as defined in the ISIC.

In the HS this origin criterion was respected as far as possible at the time.

In some cases, for instance when it seemed impossible that a customs officer could make the distinction, the principle was not applied.
Still, most (sub-) headings of the HS contain goods that are generally produced in only one ISIC category.

The arrangement of headings and subheadings of the HS, however, follows criteria which are quite different from industrial origin and the structure of CPC or SITC.

135.

The differences between CPC, HS and SITC result from their creation for different purposes.
The HS is the detailed classification for international trade of transportable goods, while SITC is a more aggregated classification for analytical purposes with the same scope as the HS, i.e.

trade of transportable goods.

The CPC exceeds the scope of HS and SITC, in that it is intended to cover the production, trade and consumption of all goods and services.

Both the CPC and the SITC, Rev.3 regroup HS categories, albeit in different ways.
The SITC follows a traditional order in which the materials used, the stage of processing and the end-use are the main considerations.

CPC arranges its categories in groups that are similar to ISIC categories.

This does not mean, however, that all goods are grouped according to their industrial origin.

136.
136.

Although origin was an important criterion when developing the CPC, it was developed as a classification in its own right in which classification is based on the physical characteristics and intrinsic nature of goods or on the nature of the services rendered.

While, for example, meat and hides are both outputs of slaughterhouses (ISIC class 1511 "Production, processing and preserving of meat and meat products") they appear in different sections of the CPC.
However, each type of good or service distinguished in the CPC is defined in such a way that it is normally produced by only one activity as defined in ISIC.

So far as practically possible, an attempt is made to establish a correspondence between the two classifications, each category of the CPC being accompanied by a reference to the ISIC class in which the good or service is mainly produced.

137.

For the SITC the same relationship with the ISIC exists, i.e.
each item (five-digit category) of the SITC is generally produced by only one ISIC class.

The relationship between SITC and CPC is such that whole items of the SITC can be aggregated to one CPC subclass, and conversely, whole CPC subclasses can be aggregated into one group (three-digit category) of the SITC7.

C. Relationship with other classifications of goods and services (BEC, BOP) 138.

The Classification by Broad Economic Categories (BEC)8 has been developed by the United Nations.
The BEC is designed to serve as a means for converting data compiled on the SITC which as it stands, is not entirely suitable for analysis by end-use, to meaningful aggregates for purposes of economic analysis of the use to which goods are put, based on the SNA concepts 35 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 (distinction between capital goods, intermediate goods and consumption goods).
There is no relationship between the ISIC and BEC other than the fact that BEC rearranges the SITC categories in 19 BEC categories.

In doing so no account was taken of the industrial origin of the goods.

The BEC has been revised in 1986, based on the third revision of SITC.

139.
139.

A correspondence between ISIC and the Extended Balance of Payments for Services Classification (EBOPS)9 has been developed to describe the link between primary activities of enterprises in terms of ISIC with Balance of Payments categories.

D. NAICS, ICFA) Other derived and related activity classifications (NACE, ANZSIC, NAEMA, 140.
From the start of the work on harmonization of economic classifications the Statistical Commission emphasized that efforts be made to harmonize multinational classifications with ISIC, Rev.3.

The work of the Expert Group on International Economic and Social Classifications has continued these efforts with the work within the International Family of Classifications.
The preamble lays out the foundations of these relationships between reference classifications (such as ISIC for activities), derived and related classifications.

The need for convergence of existing activity classifications has been stressed again by the UN Statistical Commission and will be a key element in the future work on these classifications.

141.

The need for convergence does not diminish the need for regional classifications.
The work on improved and tailored regional activity classifications, based on the reference classification as the international standard, is an important way to further the application of ISIC.

These regional classifications should be derived from ISIC and be adjusted to the regional specifics of a group of countries.

They will allow for data comparability within the region and serve as more tailored guidelines for the development of national classifications.

1.

Derived classifications 142.


Through the UNSO/SOEC Joint Working Group and the co-operation of all parties concerned, it was agreed that the revised NACE as well as the related product classification of the European Communities would be identical with, or an extension of, the ISIC and CPC, respectively.

Also the coding systems used in classifications of the United Nations and the European Communities would be, as far as possible, the same.
As a result, data of either organization became widely compatible.

ISIC and NACE are identical up to the two-digit level (divisions) of the classification.

At lower levels, NACE has created more detail suitable for European users of the classification.

The additional detail created can always be aggregated to ISIC categories at the three- and four-digit level, within the same structure.

143.
143.

The member states of Afristat have developed an activity classification NAEMA (Nomenclature d’Activités des Etats Membres d’Afristat)10, which has been derived from ISIC Rev.3.

The concern which guided its development is the respect of the international recommendations, as well as taking into account the needs of the Member states at the same time.

The NAEMA came into force in Afristat’s member states in January 2001.

36 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 144.


The NAEMA follows ISIC by using the 17 sections (1-digit level) and 60 divisions (2- digit level) of ISIC Rev.3 without change.

The 149 groups (3-digit level) of this classification are generally identical to those of the ISIC.
The exceptions relate to aggregations of groups of ISIC when the latter seemed too detailed, relative to the economy of the member states, or to splitting of groups of ISIC for better breaking up the significant African activities, in particular agriculture and agricultural processing industry, while observing the procedure of adaptation of the international classifications, as set out in chapter III, sections B and C. 145.
Being given that the economies of Afristat’s member states are characterized by a significant share of the primary sector (agriculture, breeding, fishing and forestry development) and little developed industrial activities, the work on NAEMA resulted in an increase in the number of classes in the primary sector and a reduction of classes for the activities of manufacturing.

146.
146.

The ISIC Categories for Foreign Affiliates (ICFA)11 is a system of industry groupings drawn from the ISIC, provided for use in reporting statistics on Foreign Affiliates to international organizations.

ICFA has been developed to allow the activities of services enterprises to be viewed in the context of the activities of all enterprises.

2.

Related classifications 147.


The Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), released in 1993, broadly aligns to the ISIC at the detailed level.

At the class level ANZSIC has been designed to correspond to individual or aggregate ISIC classes.

In some industries, combinations of activities within Australian and New Zealand economic units cross ISIC boundaries creating a number of m:n links.

These instances have been kept to the minimum.


ISIC concepts and interpretations underpin the ANZSIC without deviation.

148.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) has been developed in the mid-1990s.

Efforts have been undertaken to minimize the extent to which the lowest levels of NAICS (5-digit, industries) cross the boundaries of the 2-digit level of ISIC Rev.3.
This allows for aggregation of statistical data collected according to NAICS, to be re-aggregated into the 2- digit Divisions of ISIC Rev.3.

This strives to ensure comparability of data, although the NAICS has been developed on a different conceptual basis than the ISIC.

E. Relationship of other international classifications with ISIC 149.
There are other classifications developed by the United Nations or its subsidiary organs that have some relationship with ISIC or which make use of parts of ISIC in defining their own scope or categories.

They have been developed for the description of statistics on occupations, employment, expenditures, education, tourism and environment.
These are the Classification of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED)12, the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO)13 and the activity classification of the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA)14. the Functions of Government (COFOG), 37 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 150.

COFOG was developed by the Statistical Office of the United Nations Secretariat mainly for use in the System of National Accounts, was first published in 1980 and revised in 2000.
COFOG is in practice very similar to ISIC.

In principle, its unit of classification is the individual transaction, but for many types of outlays the unit will be the same government unit as for ISIC.

Moreover, the criteria of classification - function in the case of COFOG and activity for ISIC - are conceptually rather similar.
However, COFOG is more appropriate than ISIC for classifying government expenditures because the COFOG list of functions is more detailed than the ISIC list of activities, having been drawn up specifically to take account of the range and diversity of government activities.

Although there are similarities between the criteria of the two classifications, problems may arise when comparing data collected according to ISIC and COFOG.
For instance, COFOG covers not only direct outlays on government-owned schools, but also the subsidizing of privately owned schools and outlays on subsidiary services to education such as school transport, food and lodging for students etc.

A correspondence table between COFOG and ISIC categories is shown in Part V of this publication.

151.
151.

The ISCED was developed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an instrument for assembling, compiling and presenting statistics of education both within individual countries and internationally and was last updated in 1997.
It is a multi-purpose classification of educational programmes to be used for statistics on student enrolment, human or financial resources invested in education as well as statistics on the educational attainment of the population as obtained, for example, from population censuses or labour force surveys.

The statistical unit as classified in the ISCED at the lowest level is the programme or programme group.

152.
152.

Educational institutions are classified according to ISCED on the basis of the type of programmes that they provide.

In principle these institutions may be considered equivalent with the basic units to be classified by ISIC.

The definitions of the ISIC categories for education services have been changed since the last revision of ISIC to bring them in line with the changes applied in the last ISCED revision.

153.
153.

The International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) has been developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

It provides a basis for comparing occupational statistics for different countries as well as communicating other occupational information, e.g.

for the recruitment or admission of migrant workers.

It also serves as a model for countries when they develop their national occupational classifications or revise their existing ones.

154.
154.

The primary units to be classified to ISCO are jobs.

Jobs are classified to ISCO on the basis of the type of work performed, i.e.

the task and duties to be carried out.

As ISIC and ISCO have entirely different functions and conceptual foundations, i.e.

measure very different aspects of the economy, there is no need to 'harmonize' their structures.
However, ISCO makes use of appropriate references to ISIC in when defining similarities and differences between certain groups, when these are based on the type of distinctions which are reflected in the ISIC, i.e.

the type of products, i.e.

goods and services, which are being produced or sold.

In ISCO-88 such reference are given for distinctions made between the unit groups in minor groups "122 Production and Operations Managers" and "131 General managers".

3.1 –21.02.2002 155.


A new international standard, the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA), has recently been developed and approved by the Statistical Commission at its thirty-first session in 2000.

It sets the measurement of Tourism and its impact on the economy within the macroeconomic framework of the System of National Accounts.
The list of Tourism related activities that appeared as Annex II of the ISIC Rev.3 publication has been superseded by the TSA that identifies Tourism in terms of characteristic products purchased by visitors and the activities that produce them and lists them in terms of the CPC and ISIC.

Tourism characteristic activities are defined as those productive activities that produce one or more tourism characteristic products as a typical output of the production process characterizing the activity.
The concepts, definitions and classifications to be used as well as the recommended methodological framework are described in Tourism Satellite Account (TSA): Recommended Methodological Framework15.

Tourism characteristic products and tourism characteristic activities are listed in Annex II of that publication.

V. OTHER TOPICS A.

Changes in ISIC Rev.3.1, as compared to ISIC Rev.3 156.

The current update to ISIC Rev.3 has been limited in its impact on the structure of the classification.
Some changes were necessary to allow proper aggregation of complete ISIC classes into the alternate aggregations shown in Part Four of this publication.

Only two ISIC groups had to be split to accomplish this.

Since these groups (515 and 722) have not been subdivided before, countries unable to implement this new detail of the classification can still produce data at the three-digit level, i.e.

the group level, without compromising comparability with other newer time series.

157.
157.

ISIC group 050 (Fishing, aquaculture and service activities incidental to fishing) has been subdivided into two classes: 0501 (Fishing) and 0502 (Aquaculture) to account for the different nature and the importance of these two activities.

158.

ISIC group 515 (Wholesale of machinery, equipment and supplies) has been subdivided into three classes: 5151 (Wholesale of computers), 5152 (Wholesale of electronic parts and equipment) and 5159 (Wholesale of other machinery, equipment and supply).

159.
159.

ISIC group 722 (Software consultancy and supply) has been subdivided into two classes: 7221 (Software publishing) and 7229 (Other software consultancy and supply).

In addition, these classes now include the creation and publication of software for of all kinds of platforms, including video games.

160.

ISIC section M (Education) has been adjusted to take account of the changes in the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED)16, which has been revised in 1997.
Most notably, the treatment of adult education at various levels has been changed.

161.

Two new divisions have been in ISIC Rev.3.1 (Division 96 - Undifferentiated goods-producing activities of private households for own use and division 97 - Undifferentiated service-producing activities of private households for own use) in order to cover included 39 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 production activities done by private households for their own use.
Hence, these divisions would normally not be relevant in business statistics, but useful in data collections covering household and subsistence activities.

162.

A number of smaller corrections have been made to the classifications.

Details of these corrections are reflected in the correspondence tables between ISIC Rev.3 and ISIC Rev.3.1 in Part Five of this publication.
A more detailed description of these corrections is available in the Classifications Registry on the United Nations Statistics Division website (http://www.un.org/Depts/unsd/class).

B.

Indexes to the classification 163.

Alphabetical and numerical indexes are very useful tools for further detailing classification categories and greatly simplify their application.
The indexes are designed to be of assistance in adapting the ISIC to the classification requirements of individual countries, in comparing national classifications to the ISIC and in classifying data according to the ISIC.

They should also provide a guide to the correct classification of statistical units.

164.

New interpretations of the classification, usually related to new activities, can be easily reflected in the index, while usually no change in the classification or its related texts is necessary.
Indexes for ISIC have been published in printed form for ISIC Rev.2 in 197117.

Indexes for this new version of ISIC will be available in machine-readable form only, published in the United Nations Statistics Division website (http://www.un.org/Depts/unsd/class).

the Classifications Registry on C. Correspondence tables 165.

Correspondence tables are an important tool for comparing statistical data that has been collected and presented using different classifications.
They become necessary when the classification changes over time or when different underlying frameworks do not allow classifications to be closely related.

Correspondence tables between different versions of the same classification are used to describe the detailed changes that have taken place in the revision process.

166.
166.

Since ISIC has been used for the collection and presentation of statistics in many areas, there has been a strong need for correspondence tables between ISIC and other classifications.

This publication includes correspondence tables between ISIC Rev.3.1 and ISIC Rev.2 to allow for comparison of historical data, as well as correspondence tables between ISIC Rev.3.1 and ISIC Rev.3 to detail the changes that have been made in the current revision.

167.
167.

When drafting ISIC Rev.3, and simultaneously the CPC, a strong link was established between the two classifications.

By rearranging the CPC categories according to their industrial origin, and using the link between CPC, SITC and HS, a detailed correspondence table between HS, SITC, CPC and ISIC has been established, but is not included in this publication.

40 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 168.

There is a strong need to link ISIC and the Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG).
While the latter classifies transactions and not transactors, there is usually an activity characteristic for the transactions classified in COFOG that allows linking the transactions with the appropriate statistical units.

It should be noted that ISIC does not make any distinctions between government owned and privately owned businesses.

A correspondence between the two classifications is provided in Part Five of this publication.

D. Special purpose groupings of ISIC / Alternate aggregations 169.
Economic analysis and presentation of statistics on specific subjects often requires aggregation of data, collected according to ISIC, in ways that are different from the aggregation provided by the ISIC structure.
For these special purposes, standard aggregations have been created to meet these demands, such as those presented in the annex to this publication (for the "information Sector", the "ICT Sector" and the informal sector) and those defined in other statistical frameworks (for the "Tourism activities", "Environmental activities" etc.).
These alternate aggregations may either use complete ISIC classes, such as the alternate aggregation for the Information Sector, or use only parts of ISIC classes, if the underlying concept for the aggregation is not comparable to the principle used in ISIC.

See Part Four of this publication for more detailed information.

170.
170.

The annex on Tourism related industries found in ISIC Rev 3 has not been reproduced in ISIC Rev 3.1 as the simple approach of showing a list of Tourism related industries (SICTA) as an annex to ISIC has been superseded by a much more comprehensive Satellite Account framework described in paragraph 147 above.

E. Support for ISIC users 171.

The United Nations Statistics Division is responsible for the development and maintenance of ISIC.
The developers of national activity classifications and other institutions using ISIC may find it in their interest to establish contact with the Statistics Division.

Users of ISIC may thus receive notification about plans for updates or revisions, information concerning interpretations and rulings and, in general, technical support in applying the classification.
Users are encouraged to bring to the attention of the Statistics Division any difficulties they encounter in the implementation of ISIC, request clarification and share their experience and remarks with regard to its adequacy and provide ideas or proposals for enhancing its usefulness.

172.

Updated information on ISIC, indexes, proposals for revisions and information about the revision process are available in the Classifications Registry on the UN International Economic and Social Classifications Website at http://www.un.org/Depts/unsd/class.

Detailed structure and explanatory notes 57 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 A Agriculture, hunting and forestry Section A covers the exploitation of vegetal and animal natural resources.

The section comprises the activities of growing crops, raising animals, harvesting timber, and harvesting other plants and animals from a farm or their natural habitats.
01 Agriculture, hunting and related service activities Division 01 distinguishes two basic activities • Production of crop products (011: Growing of crops) and • Production of animal products (012: Farming of animals).

Within 011 a distinction is made between • field crops which generally follow a yearly cycle (0111, 0112) such as cereal, vegetable or flower growing crops with a long cycle such as plantations (e.g.

coffee, cocoa, etc.

), vineyards and orchards (0113).


• Within group 012 (Farming of animals), the activities are grouped according to the type of animal and not according to the type of product produced (e.g.

meat, milk, hide etc.)

and without distinguishing between total confinement (non-grazing) and open range pasture farming.

Group 013 (Mixed farming) breaks with the usual principles for identifying main activity.
It accepts that many agricultural holdings have reasonably balanced crop and animal production, and that it would be arbitrary to classify them in one category or the other.

Certain operations such as soil preparation, planting, harvesting, and management, which are normally part of farm operation may be carried out by agricultural support units on a fee or contract basis, as agricultural or animal husbandry (0140) service activities.
Agricultural activity excludes any subsequent processing of the agricultural products (classified under division 15: Manufacture of food products, and division 16: Manufacture of tobacco products), beyond that needed to prepare them for the primary markets.

However, as an exception to the general rule for classification of integrated activities, a unit growing grapes and producing wine at the same location is classified to 01, even though the output normally is the product of Division 15.
The division excludes field construction (e.g.

agricultural land terracing, drainage, preparing rice paddies, etc.)

The materials, substances, or components transformed are raw materials that are products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, or quarrying as well as products of other manufacturing activities.

The units in the manufacturing section are often described as plants, factories, or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines and materials-handling equipment.
However, units that transform materials or substances into new products by hand or in the worker’s home and those engaged in selling to the general public products made on the same premises from which they are sold, such as bakeries and custom tailors, are also included in this section.

Manufacturing units may process materials or may contract with other units to process their materials for them.

Both types of units are included in manufacturing.


The new product of a manufacturing unit may be finished in the sense that it is ready for utilization or consumption, or it may be semi finished to become an input for further manufacturing.

For example, the product of the alumina refinery is the input used in the primary production of aluminum; primary aluminum is the input to an aluminum wire drawing plant; and aluminum wire is the input for a fabricated wire product manufacturing unit.
Assembly of the component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing.

This includes the assembly of manufactured products from either self-produced or purchased components.

Assembly of self-produced prefabricated components of constructions at the construction site is classified as manufacturing when the manufacturing and assembly are integrated activities.

When the assembly is performed by separate units, the activity is appropriately classified in division 45 (Construction).
Therefore, assembly on the site of not self- produced prefabricated, integral parts into bridges, water tanks, storage and warehouse facilities, railroad and elevated rights-of-way, lift and escalator, plumbing, sprinkler, central heating, ventilating and air conditioning, lighting, electrical and telecommunications wiring sytems of buildings, and all kinds of structures, is classified in Construction.
Assembly and installation of machinery and equipment in mining, manufacturing, commercial or other units, when carried out as a specialized activity, is classified in the same class of manufacturing as manufacture of the item installed.

Assembly and installation of machinery and equipment which is performed as a service 69 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 incidental to the sale of the goods by a unit primarily engaged in manufacturing, wholesale trade or retail trade, is classified with its main activity.
Activities of units primarily engaged in maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment are, in general, classified in the same class of manufacturing as those specializing in manufacturing the goods.

However, units engaged in repair of office and computing machinery are classified in class 7250.
Units the main activity of which is repair of household appliances, equipment and furnishings, motor vehicles and other consumer goods are, as a general rule, classified in the appropriate class of division 50 (Sale, maintenance and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles; retail sale of automotive fuel) or 52 (Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles; repair of personal and household goods) in accordance with the kind of goods which are repaired.
Substantial alteration, renovation or reconstruction of goods is generally considered to be manufacturing.

Manufacture of specialized components and parts of, and accessories and attachments to, machinery and equipment is, as a general rule, classified in the same class as the manufacture of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended.

Manufacture of unspecialized components and parts of machinery and equipment, e.g.
engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, valves, gears, roller bearings, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing, without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items may be included.

However, making specialized components and accessories by moulding or extruding plastics materials is included in class 2520.

The recycling of waste is also included in Manufacturing.
Remark: The boundaries of manufacturing and the other sectors of the classification system can be somewhat blurry.

As a general rule, the units in the manufacturing sector are engaged in the transformation of materials into new products.

Their output is a new product.

However, the definition of what constitutes a new product can be somewhat subjective.
As clarification, the following activities are considered manufacturing in ISIC: - Milk pasteurizing and bottling (see 1520); - Fresh fish processing (oyster shucking, fish filleting), not done on a fishing boat (see1512); - Printing and related activities (see 2221, 2222); - Ready-mixed concrete production (see 2695); - Leather converting (see 1911); - Wood preserving (see 2010); - Electroplating, plating, metal heat treating, and polishing(see 2892); - Rebuilding or remanufacturing machinery (e.g., automobile engines, see 3410); - Ship repair and renovation (see 3511); - Tire retreading (see 2511).
Conversely, there are activities that are sometimes considered manufacturing, but which for ISIC are classified in another section, (i.e.

not classified as manufacturing).
They include: - Logging, classified in section A (Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry); - Beneficiating of ores and other minerals, classified in section C (Mining); - Construction of structures and fabricating operations performed at the site of construction classified in section F (Construction); - Activities of breaking of bulk and redistribution in smaller lots, including packaging, repackaging, or bottling products, such as liquors or chemicals; the customized assembly of computers; sorting of scrap; mixing paints to customer order; and cutting metals to customer order, produce a modified version of the same product, not a new product and is classified to section G (Wholesale and Retail Trade).
15 Manufacture of food products and beverages 70 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 The food industry processes the products of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing into food and drink for humans or animals, and includes the production of various intermediate products, which are not directly food products.

The activity often generates associated products of greater or lesser value (for example, hides from slaughtering, or oilcake from oil production).
This division is organised by activities dealing with different kinds of products: meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, fats and oils, milk products, grain mill products, animal feeds, other food products and beverages.

Production can be done for own account, as well as for third parties, such as custom slaughtering.

Some activities are considered manufacturing e.g.

bakeries, pastry shops, and prepared meat shops, etc.
which sell their own production, even though there is retail sale of the products in their own shop.

However where the processing is minimal and does not lead to a real transformation (e.g.

butchers, fishmongers, etc.)

the unit is classified to Wholesale and Retail Trade (section G).
Production of animal feeds from slaughter waste or by-products is classified in 1533, while processing food and beverage waste into secondary raw material is classified to 3720, and disposal of food and beverage waste in 9000.

The manufacturing of these products is grouped together because they constitute a series of vertically connected processes.

More than one is often carried out in a single unit.

There are essentially three activities.

The manufacturing of pulp involves separating the cellulose fibers from other impurities in wood or used paper.

The manufacturing of paper involves matting these fibers into a sheet.
Converted paper products are made from paper and other materials by various cutting and shaping techniques and includes coating and laminating activities.

The paper articles may be printed (e.g.

wallpaper, gift wrap, etc.

), as long as the printed information is not the main purpose.

The production of pulp, paper and paperboard in bulk is included in class 2101, while the remaining classes include the production of further processed paper and paper products.

Publishing involves financial, technical, artistic, legal and marketing activities, among others, but not predominantly.

The primary breakdown of this division is by units engaged in publishing, whether or not connected with printing, (group 221) versus units engaged in printing only (group 222).

The breakdown of publishing activities into classes is based on the type of printed matter or recorded media published.
This division includes units engaged in the publishing of newspapers, magazines, other periodicals, and books.

In general, these units, which are known as publishers, issue copies of works for which they usually possess copyright.

Works may be in one or more formats including traditional print form and electronic form.

Publishers may publish works originally created by others for which they have obtained the rights and/or works that they have created in-house.
The printing activities print products, such as newspapers, books, periodicals, business forms, greeting cards, and other materials, and perform support activities, such as bookbinding, plate- making services, and data imaging.

The support activities included here are an integral part of 86 DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 –21.02.2002 the printing industry, and a product (a printing plate, a bound book, or a computer disk or file) that is an integral part of the printing industry is almost always provided by these operations.

Processes used in printing include a variety of methods used to transfer an image from a plate, screen, or computer file to some medium, such as paper, plastics, metal, textile articles, or wood.
The most prominent of these methods is to transfer the image from a plate or screen to the medium (lithographic, gravure, screen, and flexographic printing).

A rapidly growing new technology uses a computer file to directly ‘‘drive’’ the printing mechanism to create the image and new electrostatic and other types of equipment (digital or non-impact printing).
Though printing and publishing can be carried out by the same unit (a newspaper, for example), it is less and less the case that these distinct activities are carried out in the same physical location.

When publishing and printing are done in the same unit, the unit is classified in group 221 Publishing even if the receipts for printing exceed those for publishing.

Units engaged in both on-line publishing of other publishing are included here, e.g.
a newspaper publisher who also publishes an on-line version of the newspaper.

This division excludes units engaged exclusively in on-line publishing, see 7240.

Alternate aggregations and special groupings 185 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 – 21.02.2002 174.


Any statistical classification reflects compromises between a number of theoretical principles and practical considerations.

Thus not all needs for aggregated data will be equally well served by simple aggregation through the various levels within the existing structure of ISIC.

To meet specialized needs for standardized aggregates that are formed in more complex ways, ISIC Rev.3.1 is supplemented by several alternate aggregations.
Each alternate aggregation is intended to serve the needs of a group of users who wish to present data that are classified according to ISIC in terms of standard tabulation categories that are essentially user-defined and internationally recognized.

175.

This part of the publication includes descriptions of alternate aggregations defining the Information Sector, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector.
Attention has been paid to the fact that these alternate aggregations are defined in terms of complete ISIC classes, therefore allowing aggregation of existing data into these aggregations.

Using of partial ISIC classes would require additional knowledge about the size of the splits involved, which is usually not available to users or may even not be obtainable through regular business surveys.

176.
176.

Analysis of different phenomena may require statistical data that cannot be fully described in terms of complete ISIC classes.

This may be due to the level of aggregation that had to be applied to ISIC as an international standard or it may be due to the fact that the information sought is based on a concept that is different from ISIC.
In this case it may still be possible to give a definition in terms of an alternate aggregation using partial ISIC classes, while the actual data conversion needs to be supplemented by additional information.

This part of the publication lists two examples of such alternate aggregations, the Food Industry and Tourism related activities.

177.
177.

Other alternate aggregations, using complete or partial ISIC classes have been defined in other existing frameworks and are also referenced in this part of the publication.

In principle, the list of annexes is open-ended and the Statistical Commission may, in the future, request that additional annexes be prepared and issued to respond to evolving user needs.

Information Sector DRAFT ISIC Rev.

3.1 –21.02.2002 178.


The expressions ''information age'' and ''global information economy'' are used with considerable frequency today.

The general idea of an ''information economy'' includes both the notion of industries primarily producing, processing, and distributing information, as well as the idea that every industry is using available information and information technology to reorganize and make themselves more productive.

179.
179.

The Information sector comprises units engaged in the following processes: (a) producing and distributing information and cultural products, (b) providing the means to transmit or distribute these products as well as data or communications, and (c) processing data.

the motion picture and sound recording 180.


The main components of this sector are the publishing industries, including software the broadcasting and publishing, telecommunications industries, and the information services and data processing industries.

Thus activities included in this sector cut across traditionally defined areas in the economy, such as manufacturing, telecommunications, motion picture production and some service areas.

industries, 181.
industries, 181.

The distribution modes for information products produced in this sector may either eliminate the necessity for traditional manufacture, or reverse the conventional order of manufacture-distribute: A newspaper distributed on-line, for example, can be printed locally or by the final consumer.

Similarly, it is anticipated that packaged software, which today is mainly bought through the traditional retail channels, will soon be available mainly on-line.
The Information sector is designed to make such economic changes transparent as they occur, or to facilitate designing surveys that will monitor the new phenomena and provide data to analyze the changes.

182.

Many of the industries in the Information sector are engaged in producing products protected by copyright law, or in distributing them (other than distribution by traditional wholesale and retail methods).

Examples are traditional publishing industries, software and database publishing industries.
Broadcasting and film and telecommunications industries and information providers and processors are also included in the Information sector, because their technologies are so closely linked to other industries in the Information sector.

industries, and sound 183.

The Information sector defined here is compatible to the Information Sector of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), Sector 51.

184.

The Information sector as whole can be defined through the following ISIC classes.
Group Class 2211 2212 2213 2219 Description PUBLISHING, PRINTING AND REPRODUCTION OF RECORDED MEDIA Publishing of books, brochures and other publications Publishing of newspapers, journals and periodicals Publishing of music Other publishing POST AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS 187 DRAFT ISIC Rev.

The list above corresponds to the definition of NAICS sector 51.

Representing more detailed categories of this sector will usually require subdividing of existing ISIC classes.

However, the following correlations can be established by using complete ISIC classes.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) 186.

In recent years there has been a growing demand for data related to information and communication technology (ICT).

While all activities related to ICT have been described by or been part of ISIC classes in a number of ISIC Divisions, the interpretation of classes belonging to ICT and the boundaries of the ICT sector itself have been subject to discussion.
The Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has taken a leading role in standardizing the content of the ICT sector.

The following table is consistent with the recommendations made by OECD.

187.

The definition of this sector seeks to provide a statistical basis for the measurement in an internationally comparable way of that part of economic activity that is generated by the production of ICT goods and services.

188.
The principles applied to the definition of the ICT sector are: For Manufacturing industries, the products of a candidate industry: - must be intended to fulfill the function of information processing and communication including transmission and display, or - must use electronic processing to detect, measure and/or record physical phenomena or to control a physical process For Services industries, the products of a candidate industry: - must be intended to enable the function of information processing and communication by electronic means 189.
The following table shows the divisions, groups and classes that are part of the ICT sector.

Informal sector aggregates DRAFT ISIC Rev.
3.1 –21.02.2002 190.

The informal sector encompasses a wide range of different activities.

In order to describe the heterogeneity of the informal sector, analyze the differences between the various segments regarding their income-generating potential, constraints and other characteristics, and devise appropriate actions for them, policy-makers and analysts need data revealing the structure and composition of the informal sector.
While kind of economic activity (or industry) is not a criterion to define the informal sector, it is an important variable to describe its characteristics.

It is thus used as one of the standard variables for statistics on the informal sector.

It is also often used as a variable for the stratification of informal sector survey samples.

191.

Informal sector activities tend to be concentrated heavily in the following tabulation categories (sections): A, D, F, G, H, I and O.
Because of this, it is suggested that for statistics on the informal sector an alternative highest level of aggregation be introduced, with a smaller number of categories obtained by and large through the aggregation of the existing ISIC Rev.3.1 sections.

192.

Within the informal sector, repair services and trade are groups of activities that both are numerically important, and they should not be grouped together at any level when presenting statistics for the informal sector by industry.
Moreover, these two groups of activities are undertaken in the informal sector of developing countries by different units, which differ significantly in terms of the characteristics of the persons engaged in them, including sex.

193.

At the most aggregate level, the alternative structure of ISIC Rev.

3.1 proposed for the informal sector consists of the following nine categories (designated by Roman numerals): Title ISIC sections ISIC divisions ISIC groups I. II.
Agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing A, B 01, 02, 05 011-050 Mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water supply C, D, E 10-37, 40, 41 101-410 III.

194.

The split between IV (Wholesale and retail trade) and V (Repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal and household goods) requires a split of ISIC group 504, which includes the sale, maintenance and repair of motorcycles and related parts and accessories.

All other portions of these two categories can be described in terms of full ISIC groups.

Links to higher levels of ISIC require the appropriate splits in this case.

E. Other alternate aggregations 195.


While the alternate aggregations presented in this publication are combinations of only complete ISIC classes, there is also a need to express other groupings within the economy that cannot be defined strictly in terms of ISIC.

In some cases this may simply be a result of the existing level of aggregation or disaggregation of ISIC, while for others such a correspondence cannot be achieved due to the different nature of breakdown required.

196.
196.

A number of other alternate aggregations have been developed, such as those included in previous versions of this publication.

In the last ten years, different frameworks have been developed, defining these areas of statistics, that sometimes contain aggregations of complete or partial ISIC classes, linking the scope of these frameworks to ISIC.
Rather than repeating these aggregations, which may be subject to change depending on the further development of these frameworks, we will only reference these existing aggregations.

197.

A list of environmental activities described in terms of ISIC categories is included in the System of integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting (SEEA)18.

198.
198.

The list of Tourism related activities that appeared as Annex II of ISIC Rev.3 has been superseded by the Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) that identifies Tourism in terms of characteristic products purchased by visitors and the activities that produce them and lists them in terms of the CPC and ISIC.

The concepts, definitions and classifications to be used, as well as the recommended methodological framework, are described in Tourism Satellite Account (TSA): Recommended Methodological Framework.
Tourism characteristic products and tourism characteristic activities are listed in Annex II of that publication.

199.

Other alternate aggregations may be discussed and proposed as international recommendations in the future.

The Classifications Website of the United Nations Statistics Division will be used to show the current state of development in this area.

Relationship between ISIC Rev.3.1 and COFOG 200.

The following the relationship between ISIC Rev.3.1 and the Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG) in terms of ISIC categories likely to be relevant to the general government sector.

table shows 201.

While ISIC and COFOG classify different objects, statistical units by activity for ISIC and transactions by purpose for COFOG, they are in practice very similar.
In principle, the unit of classification in COFOG is the individual transaction, but for many types of outlays the unit will often be the same government unit as for ISIC.

Moreover, the criteria of classification - function in the case of COFOG and activity for ISIC - are conceptually rather similar.
However, COFOG is more appropriate than ISIC for classifying government expenditures because the COFOG list of functions is more detailed than the ISIC list of activities, having been drawn up specifically to take account of the range and diversity of government activities.

202.

It should be noted that, as set out in the introduction, paragraph 92, ISIC itself does not try to identify the government as such.

The Institutional Sectors of the System of National Accounts are not reflected in ISIC.
Therefore, government units can practically be engaged in any activity classified in ISIC.

However, there are certain ISIC categories that are more typical of government functions or to be under governmental control or sponsorship and are therefore more likely to be closely related to government expenditures.

These categories have been used in the following table.

203.

An asterisk in the table indicates that only a part of the corresponding COFOG class is used in the link.
In these cases, a description of the relevant detail, rather than the name of the COFOG class is given.
