Industry Classification Coding System (ICCS) Version 1.3, (NAICS 2002)

Product main page

The Industry Classification Coding System (ICCS) Version 1.3 is a tool to help users code records, at the lowest level of detail, to NAICS Canada, the 1980 SIC-E and other select classifications. Codes supplied for other Industrial Classifications supported by the ICCS, such as the NAICS United States and ISIC Rev 3.1, reflect Statistics Canada's interpretation of these classifications. The Industry Classification Coding System allows a user to enter a description of a business' major activity and get a list of 1980 SIC-E and NAICS Canada codes which match this description. The class definition is provided for each code in this list of potential matches. Using this information, the user can then select the best code to apply to the record's description. The ICCS also allows a coder to enter an industry classification code (1980 SIC-E or NAICS Canada) and get a list of all the ICCS business activity descriptions associated with that code, as well as its class definition and concordance to other classifications in the ICCS.
