Status
This variant of the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) Canada 2022 V1.0 was approved as a departmental standard on January 22, 2026. It replaces the NAPCS 2022 Version 1.0 - Manufacturing and Logging variant. This is the first update of the current variant, and it’s named “Variant of NAPCS Canada 2022 version 1.0 – Manufacturing and Logging - Update 1”.
The Annual Survey of Manufacturing and Logging Industries (ASML) is a survey of the manufacturing and logging industries in Canada. It is intended to cover all establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing and logging activities as well as some sales offices and warehouses which support these establishments.
The details collected include principal industrial statistics (such as revenue, salaries and wages, cost of materials and supplies used, cost of energy and water utility, inventories, etc.), as well as information about the commodities produced and consumed. Data collected by the ASML industries help measure the production of Canada's industrial and primary resource sectors, as well as provide an indication of the well-being of each industry covered by the survey and its contribution to the Canadian and Provincial economy.
Within Statistics Canada, the data are used by the Canadian System of National Accounts, the Monthly Survey of Manufacturing and Prices programs. The data are also used by the business community, trade associations, federal and provincial departments, as well as international organizations and associations to profile the manufacturing and logging industries, undertake market studies, forecast demand and develop trade and tariff policies. The manufacturing variant was created to capture additional details on products that NAPCS Canada 2022 Version 1.0 would otherwise not have collected. By adding an extra (eighth) digit to the classification, additional detail can be collected.
Detail changes to the standard classification are described in the introduction of each new version of NAPCS Canada.
To simplify the presentation of this variant, only the part of the standard classification (NAPCS Canada) directly related to ‘manufacturing’ (manufactured goods) is kept, and the rest of NAPCS Canada categories (non-manufactured goods, and services, except manufacturing services are excluded from the structure of this variant (these are NAPCS Canada groups 511 to 871).
Changes to the Variant of NAPCS Canada 2022 Version 1.0 - Manufacturing and Logging
The Variant of NAPCS Canada 2022 version 1.0 – Manufacturing and Logging has been updated as of January 22, 2026 to help the Annual Survey of Manufacturing and Logging Industries (ASML) program with improving the measurement of the production and use of manufactured homes and components thereof, vaccines for human use, and Helium.
