The North American Classification System (NAICS) is a system for classifying production units by type of economic activity. It was developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States in order to facilitate the collection, tabulation, analysis and dissemination of industry statistics and allow three-country uniformity and comparability of such data. NAICS is also widely used by government agencies, trade associations, public and private sector businesses and various other organizations.

Purpose and use of this notice

This notice is intended to provide interested parties with an update about the status of NAICS 2012, principally a summary of NAICS provisional changes for 2012. The decisions presented here are not exhaustive in every detail. This document serves to notify users of the changes at a high level.

---

Background

The first version of NAICS was created for the 1997 reference year. The three countries agreed upon the conceptual framework of the new system and the principles upon which NAICS was to be developed.

1. NAICS would be based on a production-oriented or supply-based conceptual framework. This means that producing units using similar production processes would be grouped together in NAICS.
2. Special attention would be given to developing production-oriented classifications for (a) new and emerging industries (b) services industries in general and (c) industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies.
3. Time-series continuity would be maintained to the extent possible. However, changes in the economy and proposals from data users would be considered. In addition, in order to create a common system for all three countries, adjustments would be made where the United States, Canada and Mexico had incompatible definitions.
4. In the interest of a wider range of international comparisons, the three countries would strive for greater compatibility with the two-digit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC Revision 4).

---

Criteria for creating new classes or updating current classes

NAICS is revised every five years. In the current revision for 2012, Statistics Canada remained committed to maintaining the founding principles of NAICS. Over and above these founding principles, the call for proposals also specified that classes should respect the basic classification principles of mutual exclusivity, exhaustiveness, and homogeneity of classes, be empirically significant (gross revenues of $500 million) and be relevant (be of analytical interest and result in data useful to users).

Timeline for the 2012 NAICS revision process

A public consultation was launched on Statistics Canada's website on July 3rd, 2008 through a call for proposals for changes to the 2007 NAICS version. The deadline for receipt of proposals was September 30th, 2009.

The review of the proposals and consultations within Statistics Canada and with our Mexican and American counterparts were undertaken throughout 2008 and into 2009. NAICS revisions for 2012 were finalized in January 2011.

Work on NAICS 2012 will continue in 2011. Release of the final NAICS 2012 manual will be in December 2011.

---

Consultation results

In response to the online call for revision proposals, and as a result of consultation within Statistics Canada and with our American and Mexican partners, various kinds of changes will be brought into NAICS for 2012. Among the most notable changes are changes relating to outsourcing of manufacturing production, video game developers, book publishing exclusive agents and crafts. Many changes involve clarification of the definition and boundary of classes through:

• changes to the descriptive text of the definition that clarifies it but does not change the scope of the industry
• changes to the illustrative examples
• changes to the exclusions
• changes to the titles of industries

Some changes involve the reduction of detail, while other industries were detailed further. Several other changes involved code numbering changes, by pushing 5-digit detail down to the 6-digit level, with otherwise no changes. This was done to keep the NAICS coding consistent at the trilateral level.

Outsourcing of manufacturing

The treatment of factoryless goods producers (FGPs) - units that outsource the transformation process for manufactured goods - will be clarified for NAICS 2012. The activities of FGPs will be classified to manufacturing if the units own the inputs to production. Otherwise the units will be classified to wholesale trade. The sector definitions for 31-33 Manufacturing and 41 Wholesale Trade will be updated to clarify the classification of FGPs in NAICS Canada 2012, and implementation guidelines are being developed. This treatment is consistent with the ISIC Rev. 4 treatment of factoryless goods producers.

Video game publishers and developers

Two new 6-digit industries will be created to cover the video game developers industries. One of these will be under 51121 Software Publishers, while the other will be under 54151 Computer Systems Design and Related Services. See table 2 for details.

Book publishing and exclusive agents

Exclusive agents are a concept particular to the Canadian book publishing industry. Exclusive agents will be classified from 414420 Book, Periodical and Newspaper Wholesaler-Distributors and into 511130 Book Publishers.

Crafts

Artisans currently classified in manufacturing will be classified to 711511 Independent Artists, Visual Arts.

Own-account mineral exploration

Own-account mineral exploration activities will be classified under the mining industries, 212 Mining and Quarrying (except Oil and Gas), rather than support activities, 213 Support Activities for Mining and Oil and Gas Extraction.

Changes to descriptive text

There are numerous cases where revision requests resulted in changes to the descriptive text of various classes. These changes include:

• clarification of the treatment of transporting timber on own-account in 113310 Logging
• clarification of the description for 321114 Wood Preservation
• revision of the description for sector 41 Wholesale Trade to clarify the treatment of manufacturers' sales offices and branches
• modification of the text for 488519 Other Freight Transportation Arrangement to clarify the treatment of establishments providing logistics services
• clarification of the treatment of distribution centres in the industry group 4931 Warehousing and Storage
• revision of the text for 541430 Graphic Design Services to explicitly include website designers
• revision of the definition for 551114 Head Offices to include greater detail for the description of this industry
• revision of the text for 711513 Independent Writers and Authors to clarify that this industry includes trade and technical writers, in addition to writers creating artistic or literary works
• revision of the text for 722511 Full-service restaurants to specify the inclusion of drinking places that derive the majority of their revenues from serving food

Changes to illustrative examples

The NAICS definitions are usually supported by examples and exclusions. Some of the proposals for NAICS revisions resulted in changes to illustrative examples, including:

• creating an example for firestop contractors in 238310 Drywall and Insulation Contractors
• moving the example for wood cabinet manufacturing from 337123 Other Wood Household Furniture Manufacturing to 321990 All Other Wood Product Manufacturing
• moving digital cameras manufacturing from 334110 Computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing to 333310 Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing
• creating new examples for consulting services under 5416 Management, Scientific and Technical Consulting Services
• moving the example "Race horse trainers" from 711218 Other Spectator Sports to 711213 Horse Race Tracks.

Changes to exclusions

A number of changes to exclusions were made, of which additions of exclusions to clarify:

• 541310 Architectural Services
• 112510 Aquaculture
• 541690 Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services.

Title changes

The Table 1, below, contains a list of title changes for NAICS 2012 classes. More French titles have been modified as a result of translation improvements.

In addition to the changes in the table, there is a change that affects almost all classes, from the 3-digit to the 6-digit level, under sector 41 Wholesale Trade. For brevity sake these changes are summarized here, rather than being reported in detail in the table. In NAICS 2007, these industries are known as Wholesaler-Distributors. In NAICS 2012, the term Wholesaler-Distributors will be replaced with merchant wholesaler. For example, 416120 Plumbing, Heating and Air-Conditioning Equipment and Supplies Wholesaler-Distributors will be replaced with 416120 Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers.

Unsuccessful proposals

In addition, many proposals for changes to NAICS 2007 did not result in revisions. These cases fell under a number of categories, including:

• proposals that were best satisfied with product coding rather than industry coding
• proposals that did not meet the requirements for new industries
• proposals on which trilateral agreement could not be reached
• proposals that were withdrawn by the originators

Product and technology classifications

Some of the proposals for NAICS 2012 revisions did not meet the criteria for industry coding. Rather, they were requests for classification of products or technologies. These revisions are best dealt with through the North American Products Classification System (NAPCS), or some technology classification.

No trilateral agreement

Several proposals were discussed with representatives of the statistical agencies of the United States and Mexico, but failed to gain trilateral support (i.e., agreement among the three NAICS partner countries).

Failed to meet requirements of new or revised industries

A number of proposals for new or revised NAICS industries were discussed within Statistics Canada and were rejected on the grounds that they did not meet the requirements of industry classification. The specific failure may also be related to a structural problem with the proposal, or a lack of agreement among all interested parties.

Withdrawn by sponsors

Numerous proposals were withdrawn by their sponsors. In most cases, they were withdrawn following discussions between classification specialists and subject matter specialists, on the grounds that they did not meet the requirements of good industrial classification; or upon investigation of the proposals, it was determined that they would not meet the goals of the sponsor.

Questions regarding NAICS changes for 2012

Please direct any questions regarding the contents of this document, or any NAICS 2012 changes to standards-normes@statcan.gc.ca.

March 9, 2010 (Previous notice)

The 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is currently being revised. Its next version will be available in January 2012 and will be referred to as NAICS  2012.

A call for proposals for changes to the 2007 version was put out on July 3rd, 2008. The deadline for receipt of proposals was September 30th, 2009. The consultation phase is now closed and proposals are no longer being accepted.

Review of the proposed revisions is continuing, within Statistics Canada and with our counterparts at the Mexican Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, Geografia e Informatica (INEGI) and the Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) of the United States acting on behalf of the Office of Management and Budget. Statistics Canada, INEGI and the ECPC have collaborated on NAICS to make the industry statistics produced by the three countries comparable; this has continued for NAICS  2012.

Decisions on proposed revisions will be made by January 2011 at which point they will be posted on this website.

July 3, 2008

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is currently being revised. The revised NAICS will be available in 2012, and will be known as NAICS 2012.

At this time, Statistics Canada is soliciting input from data producers and data users to ensure their needs continue to be met by NAICS. Proposals for changes to NAICS should be submitted to standards-normes@statcan.gc.ca. Guidelines for the revision of NAICS classes are presented below to assist you in providing input into the NAICS revision process.

Input is requested by September 30th, 2009. Decisions on proposed revisions will be made by January 2011, following a review within Statistics Canada, with other government departments and non-government entities, and with our counterparts at the Mexican Instituto Nacional de Estadistica, Geografia e Informatica (INEGI) and the Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC) of the United States acting on behalf of the Office of Management and Budget. Statistics Canada, INEGI and ECPC collaborated on NAICS to make the industry statistics produced by the three countries comparable; they will continue to do so for NAICS 2012. You may send more than one submission, if that enables you to comment earlier.

Guidelines

Submissions may be made for any industry, existing or newly created. Proposals for the modification of an existing industry should contain information on the rationale for the change and demonstrate an improvement to its description. Proposals for the addition of a new industry should contain information on the grouping criteria for creating the industry, the relative size of the proposed industry and its economic significance. This input will also be used to assess confidentiality issues and costs of change to data producers and data users, and to negotiate with Mexico and the United States.

NAICS Canada 2007 may be viewed at:
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 2007

Please consider the following criteria when preparing your input to the revision of the North American Industry Classification System.

Criteria for creating new classes or updating current classes

The criteria for creating new classes or updating current classes are as follows. Proposed classes should:

1. Meet the process-based conceptual framework agreed to by Canada, Mexico and the United States for grouping producing units. The principle underlying NAICS is that producing units that use similar production processes should be grouped together in the classification (i.e. the industry is based on transformation process, and not products.)
2. Be consistent with classification principles of mutual exclusivity, exhaustiveness, and homogeneity of units within classes.
3. Have empirical significance, that is, classes should produce gross revenues of $500 million, be collectable and linked to a funded program for data collection.
4. Be relevant, that is, they must be of analytical interest, result in data useful to users and be based on appropriate statistical research and subject matter expertise.
5. Be given special attention as far as the following industries are concerned and for which lower revenue requirements will be considered:
   • new and emerging industries;
   • services industries;
   • industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2010

Confidential when completed

Collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S19.

Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under the Statistics Act.

Survey objective

This survey collects financial and operating data for the statistical measurement and analysis of the broadcasting distribution industry. These data will be aggregated to produce national and regional estimates of the performance of your industry. Those estimates are used by the regulator and policy departments, the private sector, international organizations, academics, analysts and the general public to better understand this sector's contribution to the Canadian economy. Selected results will be published in Statistics Canada Catalogue No. 56-208-X

Confidentiality statement

This survey is conducted under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada 1985, Chapter S19. Completion of this questionnaire is a legal requirement under this Act. Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from publishing or releasing any statistics which would divulge information obtained from this survey relating to any identifiable business without the previous written consent of that business. The data on this questionnaire will be treated in confidence, used for statistical purposes and published in aggregate form only. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by the Access to Information Act or any other legislation. Please note that Statistics Canada does not share any individual responses with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.

Data sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which must keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes.  Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions.  These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act.  Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon.

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations.  Under this section, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want to share your data and returning it in a separate envelope addressed to: Chief, Information technologies section, Business Special Surveys and Technology Statistics Division, Statistics Canada, Main Building, 150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0T6.

For this survey, there are section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut as well as with the Department of Canadian Heritage, the “Ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition feminine du Québec” and the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.

For these agreements, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Note: As well there is a Section 12 agreement with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The CRTC requires this information under the authority of the Broadcasting Act and the regulations and conditions of licence thereunder. Because of this Act, you do not have the right to refuse to share your information with the CRTC. It will retain a copy of the questionnaire thus satisfying the requirements of the Television Broadcasting Regulations 1987 and Radio Regulations 1986 or conditions of licence for all broadcasters in Canada to provide this type of information to the commission on or before November 30 of each year for the year ending on the previous August 31.

Change of ownership

When a change of ownership has been approved by the CRTC, within 90 days thereof, the former licensee will file with Statistics Canada a copy of an annual return covering the period of operations from September 1 to the day of transfer.  The new licensee will file an annual return from the day of transfer to August 31. In some cases, the new licensee elects to file an annual return for the full broadcast year. In either case, the licensee should indicate on the return, which period they are filing.
