24 International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 4 Box 1 Example: Identifying the principal activity of a unit using the top-down method A reporting unit may carry out the following activities: Section Division Group Class Description of the class C G 46 Share of value added (percentage) 25 251 2512 Manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal 7 281 2816 Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment 8 2821 Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery 3 28 Manufacture of metal-forming machinery and machine 2822 282 tools 21 2824 Manufacture of machinery for mining, quarrying and construction 29 293 2930 Manufacture of parts and accessories for motor vehicles 5 M 71 711 7110 461 4610 Wholesale on a fee or contract basis 7 465 4659 Wholesale of other machinery and equipment 28 Architectural and engineering activities and related technical consultancy 8 13 The principal activity is then determined as follows: Step 1. Identify the section Section C Manufacturing 52 Section G Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles 35 Section M Professional, scientific and technical activities 13 Step 2. Identify the division (within section C) Division 25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment 7 Division 28 Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. 40 Division 29 Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers 5 Step 3. Identify the group (within division 28) Group 281 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery 8 Group 282 Manufacture of special-purchase machinery 32 Step 4. Identify the class (within group 282) Class 2821 Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery 3 Class 2822 Manufacture of metal-forming machinery and machine tools 21 Class 2824 Manufacture of machinery for mining, quarrying and construction 8 The principal activity is therefore 2822 (Manufacture of metal-forming machinery and machine tools), although the class with the biggest share of value added is class 4659 (Wholesale of other machinery and equipment). If a “bottom-up” approach is used, the reporting unit would be classified to wholesale trade in class 4659 (Wholesale of other machinery and equipment), based on the single largest share of value added at the class level. This would result in a reporting unit with a value added share in manufacturing of 52 per cent being classified outside of manufacturing.
Introduction 25 The top-down method may apply to only a small part of the statistical universe, depending on the selection of the statistical unit, especially if the selected units are defined so that they carry out only one activity. 124. If none of the ISIC classes accounts for at least 50 per cent of the value added, in the case of wholesale and retail trade activities, additional steps are being considered in step 3 of the above process, which can be considered to correspond to additional levels in the classification. For practical reasons, these levels have not been reflected as separate levels in the classification structure itself but rather consist of clusters of ISIC, Rev.4 groups. For wholesale activities, these additional steps relate to (a) the distinction between commission and own-account trade and (b) the distinction between specialized and non-specialized trade. For retail trade activities, these additional steps relate to (a) the distinction between store and non-store retail trade, (b) the distinction between specialized and non-specialized trade (for in-store retail trade activities) and (c) the distinction between trade via stalls and markets and other trade (for non-store retail trade activities). These distinctions must be considered as additional levels (within step 3) and must be applied when using the top-down method. After determining the correct group in step 3, the determination of the class representing the principal activity is carried out in accordance with step 4 above. 125. Following the additional criteria provided in paragraph 124 above, the following figure represents the decision tree to be used for the allocation of a unit within ISIC division 46 (Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles): Division 46 Wholesale trade on own account 462–469 Wholesale trade on a fee or contract basis 461 Non-specialized wholesale trade 469 Specialized wholesale trade 462-466 462 463 464 465 466 (further subdivided according to the range of products sold)
