Purpose of the Classification

Statistical Domains:
2 Economic statistics
Purpose:
A standard classification of economic activities arranged so that entities can be classified according to the activity they carry out. The categories of ISIC at the most detailed level (groups) are delineated according to what is in most countries the customary combination of activities described in statistical units. The major groups and divisions, the successively broader levels of classification, combine the statistical units according to the character, technology, organization and financing of production. Wide use has been made of ISIC, both nationally and internationally, in classifying data according to kind of economic activity in the fields of population, production, employment, gross domestic product and other economic activities.
