SIC Industry Sector Codes are a long-standing and widely recognised data interchange standard for the identification of industry sectors. The coding system is numeric and hierarchical, sub-sectors being categorised by adding an extra digit onto an existing code. More information about SIC codes can be found here. SIC codes are a widely adopted standard, although there are now a number of modern alternatives, including NAICS. SIC sector encoding is one of the standards that is supported by our software.
