Rules for classifying statistical units UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2007 – SIC(2007) to divisions 96 and 97 of NACE Rev. 1, which where introduced in order to cover these activities. Division 98 is not relevant in EU business statistics, but is relevant in data collections covering household and subsistence activities. Glossary 118. This glossary gives a further description of some of the terms used throughout the NACE Rev. 2 Introduction and Explanatory Notes. Every attempt has been made to ensure that the descriptions are consistent with the definitions of the terms when used elsewhere, but these descriptions are not intended to give all-purpose definitive meanings of the words. The purpose of this glossary is merely to help the user of NACE to interpret it correctly. 119. By-product: An exclusive by-product is a product technologically linked to the production of other products in the same group, but which is not produced in any other group (for example, molasses linked to the production of sugar). Exclusive by-products are used as inputs for the manufacture of other products. An ordinary by-product (that is, a byproduct which is not exclusive to a single group) is a product technologically linked to the production of other products, but which is produced in several groups (for example, the hydrogen produced during petroleum refining is technologically linked to that produced in petrochemical manufacture and coal carbonisation and identical to that produced in the group comprising other basic chemical products). 120. Commodity: A commodity is a transportable good that may be exchanged. It may be one of a run from a production line, a unique item (Mona Lisa) or the material medium for a service (software diskette). This is the concept used for customs classifications. 121. Capital goods: Capital goods are goods, other than material inputs and fuel, used for the production of other goods and/or services. They include factory buildings, machinery, locomotives, lorries and tractors. Land is not usually regarded as a capital good. 122. Industrial process: A transformation process (whether physical, chemical, manual or whatever) used in the manufacture of new products (whether consumer, intermediate or investment goods), in the processing of used products or in the provision of services to industry as defined in sections B (Extractive industries), C (Manufacturing industry), D (Production and distribution of electricity, gas and steam) E (Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities) and F (Construction industry). 123. Machinery: domestic or household: Machinery and equipment of a type designed principally for use by private households, for example, household washing machines. 124. Machinery: industrial: Machinery and equipment of a type designed principally for use in non-domestic premises, for example, machine tools, laundry-type washing machines. 125. Manufacturing industry: All activities included within section C. Both cottage industry and large-scale activities are included. It should be noted that the use of heavy plant or machinery is not exclusive to section C. 126. Product: A product is the outcome of economic activity. It is the generic term applied to goods and services. 127. Finished product: Products for which processing has been completed. 128. Semi-finished product: Products that have undergone some processing but require further processing before they are ready for use. They may be sold to other manufacturers or transferred to subcontractors for further processing. Typical examples would include rough metal castings sold or transferred for finishing elsewhere. 24
UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2007 – SIC(2007) Rules for classifying statistical units 129. Production: Production is an activity resulting in a product. It is used with reference to the whole range of economic activities. The term is not reserved for the agricultural, mining or manufacturing sectors. It is also used in relation to the service sector. More specific terms may be used to denote production: provision of services, processing, manufacturing, etc., depending on the branch of activity. Production may be measured in various ways either in physical terms or by value. 130. Transformation: Transformation is a process that modifies the nature, composition or form of raw materials, semi-finished or finished products for the purpose of obtaining new products. 131. Treatment: A process that is carried out, inter alia, for the purpose of protecting certain products, for giving them certain properties or for preventing any harmful effects that might otherwise result from their use. Examples are the treatment of crops, wood, metals and waste. 132. Value added: The gross value added at basic price is defined as the difference between output at basic prices and intermediate consumption at purchasers’ prices. 25
