Department of Economic and Social Affairs

The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environ mental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. Note The designations used and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. ?e term “country" as used in this publication also refers, as appropriate, to ter- ritories or areas. ?e designations “developed regions" and “developing regions" are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgment about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process. Symbols of United Nations documents are composed of capital letters combined with ?gures. Mention of such a symbol indicates a reference to a United Nations docu ment. iii

Preface

The International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) is the international reference classification of productive activities. Its main purpose is to provide a set of activity categories that can be utilized for the collection and report ing of statistics according to such activities. Since the adoption of the original version of ISIC in 1948, the majority of coun tries around the world have used ISIC as their national activity classi?cation or have developed national classi?cations derived from ISIC. ISIC has therefore provided guidance to countries in developing national activity classi?cations and has become an important tool for comparing statistical data on economic activities at the interna tional level. Wide use has been made of ISIC, both nationally and internationally, in classifying data according to kind of economic activity in the ?elds of economic and social statistics, such as for statistics on national accounts, demography of enterprises, employment and others. In addition, ISIC is increasingly used for non-statistical pur- poses. ?is fourth revision of ISIC (ISIC, Rev.4) is the outcome of a review process that spanned several years and involved contributions from many classi?cations experts and users around the world. ?is process resulted in an ISIC structure that is more detailed than the previous version, responding to the need to identify many new industries separately. ?is is especially applicable in the case of services. Moreover, the relevance of the Classi?cation has been enhanced with the introduction of new high-level categories to better reect current economic phenomena. A new section entitled “Information and communication" (see part three, sect. J) is one such innova tion. Comparability has also been enhanced with a number of other regional activity classi?cations, thus making this version of ISIC a much improved tool for interna tional data comparison. A number of alternate aggregations have been included in the present publi cation. ?ey provide analytical tools for areas which, for conceptual reasons, do not lend themselves to aggregation within the existing ISIC structure. Among the alternate aggregations included in this version of ISIC are aggregations for information and communications technology, the informal sector and non-pro?t institutions, as well as two aggregations for national accounts-type analysis, one at very aggregated and another at an intermediate level of ISIC. ?e structure of the fourth revision of ISIC was considered and approved by the Statistical Commission at its thirty-seventh session, in March 2006, 1 as the interna tionally accepted standard. It now replaces the third revision of the classi?cation 2 and its update, Revision 3.1, 3 which have been in use since 1989 and 2002, respectively. 1
