Explanatory Notes<br />
UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2007 – <strong>SIC</strong>(2007)<br />
Section O<br />
Public Administration and Defence; Compulsory Social Security<br />
This section includes activities of a governmental nature, normally carried out by the public administration. This includes the<br />
enactment and judicial interpretation of laws and their pursuant regulation, as well as the administration of programmes based<br />
on them, legislative activities, taxation, national defence, public order and safety, immigration services, <strong>for</strong>eign affairs and the<br />
administration of government programmes.<br />
This section also includes compulsory social security activities.<br />
The legal or institutional status is not, in itself, the determining factor <strong>for</strong> an activity to belong in this section, rather than the<br />
activity being of a nature specified in the previous paragraph. This means that activities classified elsewhere in <strong>SIC</strong> do not fall<br />
under this section, even if carried out by public entities. For example, administration of the school system (i.e. regulations,<br />
checks, curricula) falls under this section, but t<strong>each</strong>ing itself does not (see section P), and a prison or military hospital is classified<br />
to health (see section Q). Similarly, some activities described in this section may be carried out by non-government units.<br />
