Introduction UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2007 – SIC(2007) section C Manufacturing (comprising divisions 10 to 33) division 13 Manufacture of textiles group 13.9 Manufacture of other textiles class 13.93 Manufacture of carpets and rugs subclass 13.93/1 Manufacture of woven or tufted carpets and rugs There are 21 sections, 88 divisions, 272 groups, 615 classes and 191 subclasses. The full structure of UK SIC (2007) is shown on pages 27 to 53. As with SIC (2003), the full number of arithmetically possible subdivisions at each level is not necessarily created, varying according to the diversity of activities. For example, section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing), has only three divisions, 01, 02 and 03 whereas section C (Manufacturing) is divided into 24 divisions. The use of 0 as the final digit for a group or class indicates that it is the only subdivision at that level. Thus division 36 (Water collection, treatment and supply) has only one group, 36.0 and only one class, 36.00. On the other hand, division 49 (Land transport and transport via pipelines) has five groups and so is numbered 49.1 through to 49.5. Links to international classifications To the four digit level, UK SIC (2007) follows NACE Rev. 2 exactly. The difference is in the UK SIC (2007) subclasses. For example, in both NACE Rev. 2 and UK SIC (2007) , class 56.10 represents ‘Restaurants and mobile food service activities’. In UK SIC (2007) , however, three subclasses are added so that 56.10/1 is ‘Licensed restaurants’, 56.10/2 is ‘Unlicensed restaurants and cafes’ and 56.10/3 is ‘Take away food shops and mobile food stands’. The first two levels (sections and divisions) of UK SIC (2007) and NACE Rev. 2 are exactly the same as in ISIC Rev..4 in content and in coding. Beyond this, and shown after a decimal point in the SIC and NACE codes, the three digit groups and the four digit classes can be directly converted to the ISIC headings or can be combined to reach the ISIC heading but may have different code numbers. For example, ISIC class 8521 = SIC/NACE class 85.31 whilst ISIC class 5813 = SIC/NACE classes 58.13 + 58.14). The aim of the further breakdowns in NACE Rev. 2 and UK SIC (2007) is to obtain classifications more suited to the European and UK economies. Changes from SIC (2003) to SIC (2007) While some of the rules for application of the SIC have been changed, and criteria for construction of the classification, as well as the formulation of explanatory notes, have been reviewed, the overall characteristics of the SIC remain unchanged. New concepts at the highest level of the classification have been introduced, and new detail has been created to reflect different forms of production and emerging new industries. At the same time, efforts have been made to maintain the structure of the classification in all areas that do not explicitly require change based on new concepts. The detail of the classification has substantially increased (from 514 to 615 classes). For service-producing activities, this increase is visible at all levels, including the highest one, while for other activities, such as agriculture, the increase in detail affected mostly the lower level of the classification. One effect of the increase in detail at class level has been a reduced need for detail at the subclass level. The total number of subclasses has decreased from 285 to 191. Changes in the structure SIC (2003) had 17 sections and 62 divisions; SIC (2007) has 21 sections and 88 divisions. At the highest level of SIC some sections can be easily compared with the previous version of the classification. However, the introduction of some new concepts at the section level, for example, the ‘Information’ section or the grouping of activities linked to environment, makes easy overall comparison between SIC (2007) and its previous version impossible. The table set out below presents the broad correspondence between the sections of SIC (2003) and SIC (2007) . Please note that this table presents only the rough one-to-one correspondence between the sections: further additional details are necessary to establish the complete correspondence.

Nonetheless, the most prominent ones are listed below. The SIC (2003) sections for agriculture and fishing have been combined. However, the detail under this new section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing) has been substantially increased. This is in response to continuing requests for more detail in ISIC, mostly due to the fact that agriculture is an important part of the economic structure in many developing countries. New divisions in manufacturing, representing important new industries or old industries that have increased their economic or social relevance, have been created, such as division 21 (Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations) and division 26 (Manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products). The scope of the latter differs from division 30 (Manufacture of office machinery and computers) in SIC (2003) , making it a better tool for statistics on high-tech activities. Other new divisions, such as division 11 (Manufacture of beverages) and 31 (Manufacture of furniture) have resulted from splitting existing divisions and therefore raising their components from group level, as before, to division level. Most of the remaining divisions in section C (Manufacturing) are unchanged, except SIC (2003) divisions 22 (Publishing, printing and reproduction of recorded media) and 37 (Recycling), of which substantial portions have been moved to other sections (see below). Repair and installation of machinery and equipment, formerly classified under manufacturing of the corresponding type of equipment, is now identified separately in division 33 (Repair and installation of machinery and equipment). All specialised repair activities are now classifiable separately in SIC, although no high-level aggregate for ‘Repair’ has been created. A new section E (Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities) has been created, which includes the sanitation activities in SIC (2003) division 90, water collection and distribution activities in SIC (2003) division 41, and materials recovery activities, which largely correspond to SIC (2003) division 37. This section now groups activities of common policy interest, but is also based on the actual organisation of these activities in a large number of countries. The detail on these activities has been substantially increased. The concept of specialised construction activities (also known as special trades) has been introduced in SIC (2007) , replacing the division structure of the previous version, which was based largely on the stage of the construction process. Repair of household goods has been removed from section G (Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles) of SIC (2003) to section S (Other service activities) of SIC 2007. However, the exception for classifying trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles in division 45 of SIC (2007) (corresponding to division 50 in SIC (2003) ) has been retained for comparability and continuity reasons. A new section J (Information and communication) has been created, combining activities involving production and 3
