##  Introduction to NAICS

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal                        statistical                        agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and                        publishing                        statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

NAICS was developed under the auspices of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and adopted                        in 1997                        to replace the Standard Industrial                            Classification                            (SIC) system. It was developed jointly by the U.S.                            Economic Classification                            Policy                            Committee (ECPC), Statistics Canada, and Mexico's Instituto                            Nacional de                            Estadistica y Geografia, to allow for                        a high                        level of                        comparability in business                        statistics among the North American countries.                    

                        This official U.S. Government Web site provides the latest information on plans for NAICS                        revisions, as                        well as access to various NAICS reference files and tools. Additional information on the                        background and                        development of NAICS is available in the                        History                        section of this Web site.
