1 International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Revision 4 Complete structure draft for discussion 12 May 2004 United Nations Statistics Division

2 Note for reviewers As new economic developments occur and needs in economic analysis change, underlying tools, such as economic classifications, have to reflect these new conditions. The revision of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) is being conducted in this context. The revision of ISIC pursues a number of goals, such as to adapt the classification to the changed economic situation in the world, reflect the needs of countries in different phases of economic development, improve the relationship of ISIC to other important activity classifications in use around the world and to provide guidance to users of the classification through detailed explanatory notes. The current document is the third in a series of consultation documents in the revision process of ISIC. It provides a complete draft of the proposed ISIC structure with a complete set of explanatory notes. Also included in the document is a discussion related to the use of value added for mixed activities. In previous discussions, the majority of countries have favored the use of value added as the universal criterion for determining the primary activity of a unit, even in the case of vertical integration. This document discusses options of how to make this universal rule operational. Comments are expected on all parts of this document, including a) the detailed aggregation structure as such, b) the definition of individual categories, c) the discussion on the use of value added. Comments on the structure can range from requests for additional detail over requests for collapsing certain categories in this structure to completely different concepts of definition and aggregation. The document also includes a number of comments on individual categories, to which additional reactions are expected. Please note that the top-level structure as proposed by the Expert Group on International Economic and Social Classifications has been approved by the United Nations Statistical Commission as the basis for the detail work on ISIC. Changes to the higher levels of the classification will therefore be more difficult to accept at his point and would need more extensive rationalizations. To facilitate the review process, comments on this document should reference the codes used in this draft. This document should be discussed with data producers, data users and other stakeholders in your county. Your comments should reflect your countries consolidated position on these issues. Comments should be sent by 15 November 2004 by to the UN Classifications Hotline ([email protected]), by fax ( ) or mail to: United Nations Statistics Division Attn: Statistical Classifications Section DC2-1522, 2 UN Plaza New York, NY 10017, USA 2

4 Determining the principal activity in the case of units engaged in multiple activities The responses to the ISIC Concepts paper reflected a desire to use the principal activity criterion when classifying activities in ISIC Rev. 4 in all cases of multiple activities, including vertical integration. The two cases of multiple activities addressed in this note are horizontally integrated activities, in which each activity is independent of the other, and vertically integrated activities, in which the output of one activity is the input of another. An example of the first case could be repair and retail activities undertaken in the same unit. An example of the second case could be a unit that makes steel and further processes that steel into a more complete fabricated metal product. In previous versions of ISIC, vertically integrated activities were classified to the downstream activity, regardless of the relative importance of each activity. In ISIC Rev.4, it is proposed to classify these units according to the principal activity. For horizontally integrated activities, it is proposed to continue to classify these according to principal activity. Principal activity is determined according to the value-added attributable to each activity (or to a proxy such as revenue if value-added is not available). This can be calculated on a case-by-case basis. However, to ensure more consistent results among those using the classification regardless of the method of determination, ISIC could consider including in the text of the definitions predetermined classifications for common vertically integrated activities. In this respect, guidance could be provided for the following cases: collecting maple sap and making maple syrup is classified to agriculture (0129); mining and beneficiating are classified to mining (beneficiating includes crushing, screening, washing, sizing, concentrating, and flotation for example) (Section B); mining silver and refining ore to create dory bar at the mine site is classified to mining (0721); manufacture and installation or machinery and equipment as a combined activity is classified to manufacturing (Section C); manufacturing pasta and further mixing it to produce dried prepared pasta meals is classified to pasta manufacturing (1074); producing textile fabrics and further processing those fabrics into finished textile products or apparel products are classified with producing textile fabrics (Division 13); producing thread, yarn, fabric or apparel and finishing the same articles (including dying, drying, stone washing, or other finishing activities) are classified to the thread, yarn, fabric, or apparel activity rather than to the finishing activity (1311); cutting logs or bolts and further processing the resulting wood into wood products are classified to cutting logs and bolts (1610); making paper and further processing that paper into converted paper products are classified to making paper (1701); refining petroleum and further processing the petroleum feed stocks to make petrochemicals are classified to petroleum refining (1920); primary processing of ferrous or nonferrous metals from ore and further producing fabricated metals is classified to producing ferrous or nonferrous metals (Division 24); secondary smelting and refining of metals with further production of fabricated metal products is classified to secondary smelting or refining of metals (Division 24); and 4

5 printed circuit assembly is classified based on the activity of assembling printed circuit boards rather than the product produced (2610) (when treated as a manufacturing service). Assembly of self-produced prefabricated components of constructions at the construction site is classified as manufacturing (should there be, as before, a distinction between components made of concrete and others?) Question: If you support including default treatments such as these directly in the definitions, are there other cases of vertically integrated activities that should also be added? Finally, if you do not support providing specific guidance in the definitions, do you support including language regarding the default classification when value added data are not available? Combined or horizontally integrated activities can present similar problems. For example, the combined activities of retailing new goods and repairing those goods could be classified to different places at different times or between countries if done strictly on a principal activity basis. Once again, common combinations of activities could be ruled to an area by default in the definitions of the industries to avoid inconsistent application of ISIC. Question: Are you in favor of adding specific default classifications to the industry definitions for combinations of: combined manufacture of new goods and repair of those goods is classified to manufacture (Section C); selling fire extinguishers and servicing fire extinguishers is classified to selling fire extinguishers (Section G); combined retail sale of new products and repair and maintenance of those products is classified to retail trade (Section G); retail sales of new musical instruments combined with rental of instruments or music lessons is classified to selling of new musical instruments (4444); combined manufacture and retail sale of goods is classified to manufacturing (Section C); combined store and nonstore retail operations (selling through a store front along with catalog sales or internet sales) are classified to store retail (Groups ); combined retail sale of a full line of tires combined with a general line of automobile repairs are classified to retailing tires (4230); combined retail sale of office supplies and office furniture is classified to retail sale of office supplies (4461); combined retail sale of motor fuel and retail sale of convenience store goods are classified to retail sale of motor fuels (4470); combined retail sale of motor fuels with restaurant and/or repair services (truck stops) are classified to retail sale of motor fuels (4470); combined retail sale of eyeglass frames and grinding lenses to prescription in the same retail location are classified to retail sale of optical goods (4469); combined passenger air transportation with air freight transportation are classified to air passenger transportation (4710); combined publishing and printing are classified to publishing (Division 53); combined sales financing and finance leasing are classified to sales financing (5992); combined photocopy services with short run printing, such as lithographic printing, are classified to printing (1811); combined installation of hardscape (e.g., walkways, decks, ornamental retaining walls, etc) with installation of landscape plantings are classified to landscape services (7340); 5

6 combined services of waste incinerators and electricity production are classified to waste management (372); and accommodations combined with resort activities (such as a golf course) are classified to accommodations (Division 51). Question: Do you support inclusion of guidance on combined activities within the definitions of ISIC? If you do support the inclusion of specific guidance regarding the classification of common combinations of activities, are there other examples that should also be included? 6

24 ISIC Rev.4 draft explanatory notes 24

25 A Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Comment: Organic and GMO agriculture has not been separated, as the actual growing activities are similar (actually identical). While some countries seem to view this distinction (for organic) as product based, this is also not correct, as farmers do not produce mixes of organic and non-organic products. The FAO definition of organic agriculture, based on the Codex Alimentarius, could possibly be supported on an activity basis, but we have found no evidence that this distinction is made in countries. If country definitions of organic agriculture vary, we should not introduce this concepts based on a single definition here. Separate identification of those activities, if needed, is suggested at the country level, but not as a major separation in the international classification. The structure in section A has been changed considerably compared to the previous version of ISIC. Additional discussions for this area will take place involving the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Do you support the changes in this draft? 01 Crop and livestock production, hunting and related service activities Division 01 distinguishes two basic activities, production of crop products and production of animal products. This division includes the form of organic agriculture, as well as growing of genetically modified crops and farming of genetically modified animals. Also included are service activities incidental to agriculture and hunting, trapping and related activities. Group 015 (Mixed farming) breaks with the usual principles for identifying main activity. It accepts that many agricultural holdings have reasonably balanced crop and animal production, and that it would be arbitrary to classify them in one category or the other. Agricultural activity excludes any subsequent processing of the agricultural products (classified under divisions 10 and 11 (Manufacture of food products and beverages) and division 12 (Manufacture of tobacco products)), beyond that needed to prepare them for the primary markets. The preparation of products for the primary markets is included here. The division excludes field construction (e.g. agricultural land terracing, drainage, preparing rice paddies etc.) classified in section F (Construction) and buyers and cooperative associations engaged in the marketing of farm products classified in section G. 011 Production of annual field crops See class Production of cereals and other field crops 25

26 This class includes all forms of growing in open fields, including those considered organic farming and the growing of genetically modified crops.

If either production of crops or animals in a given unit exceeds 66 per cent or more of standard gross margins, the combined activity should not be included here, but allocated to crop or animal farming. - mixed crop farming, see groups 011, 012 and mixed animal farming, see group Comment: This category was already included in ISIC Rev.3. How do you implement this definition, to ensure that not all units engaged in combined crop and animal farming are classified here? Are there better ways of naming and defining this category? Does "Integrated crop and livestock production" better capture the content of this class or would this title be too ambiguous? 016 Support services to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities This group covers activities incidental to agricultural production and activities similar to agriculture not undertaken for production purposes (in the sense of harvesting agricultural products), done on a fee or contract basis. Also included are post-harvest crop activities, aimed at preparing agricultural products for the primary market. 30

33 02 Forestry and logging This division covers the production of standing timber as well as the extraction and gathering of wild growing forest materials. Besides the production of timber, forestry results in products that undergo little processing, such as wood for fuel or industrial use (e.g. pit-props, pulpwood etc.). These activities can be carried out in natural or planted forests. Further processing of wood beginning with sawmilling and planing of wood, which is generally done away from the logging area, is classified to division 16 (Manufacture of wood and products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials). 021 Forestry This group covers growing and management activities in natural forests and forest plantations Forestry activities - growing of standing timber: planting, replanting, transplanting, thinning and conserving of forests and timber tracts - growing of coppice and pulpwood - production of charcoal - gathering of wood, such as fire wood - growing of Christmas trees, see gathering of mushrooms and other non-wood forest products, see production of wood chips, see production of charcoal through distillation of wood, see Tree plantation activities - planting and seeding of trees in the process of afforestation or reforestation mainly for the production of wood or non-wood products (including Christmas trees) - planting and seeding of trees mainly for provision of forest services, e.g. soil and water conservation, pest control, conservation of biological diversity These are either introduced species (all planted stands) or intensively managed stands of indigenous species, which meet all the following criteria: one or two species at plantation, even 33

Also included are activities that are normally integrated in the process of production for own account (e.g. seeding oysters for pearl production). Division 03 does not include building and repairing of ships and boats (3011, 3315) and sport or recreational fishing activities (8319). Processing of fish, crustaceans or molluscs is excluded, whether at land-based plants or on factory ships (1020). 031 Fishing 35

36 This group includes "capture fishery", i.e. the hunting, collecting and gathering activities directed at removing or collecting live wild aquatic organisms (predominantly fish, molluscs and crustaceans) including plants from the oceanic, coastal or inland waters for human consumption and other purposes by hand or more usually by various types of fishing gear such as nets, lines and stationary traps. Such activities can be conducted on the intertidal shoreline (e.g. collection of molluscs such as mussels and oysters) or shore based netting, or from home-made dugouts or more commonly using commercially made boats in inshore, coastal waters or offshore waters. In addition, the aquatic resource being captured is usually common property resource irrespective of whether the harvest from this resource is undertaken with or without exploitation rights. Such activities also include fishing restocked water bodies Marine Fishing - fishing on a commercial basis in ocean and coastal waters - taking of marine crustaceans and molluscs - whale catching - hunting of aquatic animals: turtles, sea squirts, tunicates, sea urchins etc. This class also includes: - activities of vessels engaged both in fishing, and in processing and preserving of fish - gathering of marine materials: natural pearls, sponges, coral and algae - capturing of sea mammals, except whales, e.g. walruses, seals, see service activities incidental to fishing, see processing of fish, crustaceans and molluscs on factory ships or in factories ashore, see fishing inspection, protection and patrol services, see fishing practised for sport or recreation and related services, see operation of sport fishing preserves, see Freshwater Fishing - fishing on a commercial basis in inland waters - taking of freshwater crustaceans and molluscs - hunting of aquatic animals This class also includes: - gathering of marine materials - service activities incidental to fishing, see processing of fish, crustaceans and molluscs, see fishing inspection, protection and patrol services, see fishing practised for sport or recreation and related services, see operation of sport fishing preserves, see

37 032 Aquaculture This group includes "aquaculture" (or aquafarming), i.e. the production process involving the culturing or farming (including harvesting) of aquatic organisms (fish, aquatic molluscs, crustaceans and plants, crocodiles, alligators, and amphibians) using techniques designed to increase the production of the organisms in question beyond the natural capacity of the environment (for example regular stocking, feeding, an protection for predators). Culturing/Farming refer to the rearing up to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions of the above organisms. In addition, "aquaculture" also encompasses individual, corporate or state ownership of the individual organisms throughout the rearing or culture stage, up to and including harvesting Marine aquaculture - fish farming in sea water - production of oyster spat, mussel, lobsterlings, shrimp post-larvae, fish fry and fingerlings - growing of laver and other edible seaweeds - cultivation of oysters This class also includes: - aquaculture activities in brackish waters - aquaculture activities in salt water filled tanks or reservoirs - frog farming, see operation of sport fishing preserves, see Freshwater aquaculture - fish farming in freshwater including farming of ornamental fish - cultivation of freshwater oysters - operation of frog farms - operation of marine worm farms - operation of fish hatcheries - aquaculture activities in salt water filled tanks and reservoirs, see service activities incidental to the operation of fish hatcheries and fish farms, see operation of sport fishing preserves, see Support services to fishing & aquaculture 37

38 See class Support services to fishing & aquaculture - service activities incidental to marine and freshwater fishing - service activities incidental to marine and freshwater aquaculture - fishing inspection, protection and patrol services, see 8723 B Mining and quarrying Mining and quarrying include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids (coal and ores), liquids (petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by underground or surface mining or well operation. This section includes supplementary activities aimed at preparing the crude materials for marketing, for example, crushing, grinding, cleaning, drying, sorting, concentrating ores, liquefaction of natural gas and agglomeration of solid fuels. These operations are often accomplished by the units that extracted the resource and/or others located nearby. Mining activities are classified into divisions, groups and classes on the basis of the principal mineral produced. Divisions 05, 06 are concerned with mining and quarrying of fossil fuels (coal, lignite and peat, petroleum, gas); divisions 07, 08 concern metal ores, various minerals and quarry products. Some of the technical operations of this section, particularly concerning the extraction of hydrocarbons, may also be carried out for third parties by specialized units as an industrial service which is reflected in division 09. This section also includes: - agglomeration of coals and ores This section excludes: - processing of the extracted materials, see section C (Manufacturing) - usage of the extracted materials without a further transformation for construction purposes, see section F (Construction) - bottling of natural spring and mineral waters at springs and wells, see crushing, grinding or otherwise treating certain earths, rocks and minerals not carried on in conjunction with mining and quarrying, see collection, purification and distribution of water, see site preparation for mining, see mineral prospecting, see Comment: An alternative approach to structuring mining activities would be a separation strictly based on production process. This would result in three divisions for Mining, namely strip mining, underground mining and mining of liquids. While this approach would be on a clean conceptual basis, it would no longer allow aggregations of data for coal production etc. Using this type of split at a lower level would not be useful at the international level. However, the mining of liquefied coal is included under division 06 in this draft. 38

39 05 Mining of coal and lignite The extraction of solid mineral fuels covers underground or open-cast mining and includes operations (e.g. grading, cleaning etc.) leading to a marketable product including briquetting (e.g. briquettes and ovoids). It does not include coking (see 1910) or services incidental to coal or lignite mining (see 0990). 051 Mining and agglomeration of hard coal See class Mining and agglomeration of hard coal - mining of hard coal: underground or surface mining - cleaning, sizing, grading, pulverizing etc. of coal to classify, improve quality or facilitate transport - agglomeration of hard coal This class also includes: - recovery of hard coal from culm banks - lignite mining, see mining of liquefied hard coal, see peat digging and agglomeration of peat, see coke ovens producing solid fuels, see test drilling for coal mining, see work performed to develop or prepare properties for coal mining, see service activities incidental to hard coal mining, see manufacture of briquettes or other solid fuels consisting chiefly of hard coal, see Mining and agglomeration of lignite See class Mining and agglomeration of lignite - mining of lignite (brown coal): underground or surface mining - washing, dehydrating, pulverizing of lignite to improve quality, facilitate transport or storage 39

Do you support this structure? If not, would you prefer that these support services be split and allocated to the corresponding extracting/mining activity (in divisions 06 to 08)? In this case should they be eventually isolated as specific classes in these divisions or do you want only the support services to oil and gas extraction separately recognized? Should in this case all other support services to mining and extraction remain grouped in division 09? 44

46 C Manufacturing Manufacturing comprises the physical or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products. The materials, substances, or components transformed are raw materials that are products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining or quarrying as well as products of other manufacturing activities. The units in the manufacturing section are often described as plants, factories or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines and materials-handling equipment. However, units that transform materials or substances into new products by hand or in the worker's home and those engaged in selling to the general public of products made on the same premises from which they are sold, such as bakeries and custom tailors, are also included in this section. Manufacturing units may process materials or may contract with other units to process their materials for them. Both types of units are included in manufacturing. The new product of a manufacturing unit may be finished in the sense that it is ready for utilization or consumption, or it may be semi-finished in the sense that it is to become an input for further manufacturing. For example, the product of the alumina refinery is the input used in the primary production of aluminium; primary aluminium is the input to an aluminium wire drawing plant; and aluminium wire is the input for a fabricated wire product manufacturing unit. Assembly of the component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing. This includes the assembly of manufactured products from either self-produced or purchased components. Assembly and installation of machinery and equipment, when carried out as a specialized activity, is classified in Assembly and installation of machinery and equipment that are performed as a service incidental to the sale of the goods by a unit primarily engaged in manufacturing, wholesale trade or retail trade, are classified with its main activity. Specialized maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment is, in general, classified in division 33 (Repair, maintenance and installation of machinery and equipment). However, the repair of computers and personal and household goods is classified in division 85 (Repair of computers and personal and household goods), while the repair of motor vehicles is classified in division 42 (Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles). Substantial alteration, renovation or reconstruction of goods is generally considered to be manufacturing. Manufacture of specialized components and parts of, and accessories and attachments to, machinery and equipment is, as a general rule, classified in the same class as the manufacture of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended. Manufacture of unspecialized components and parts of machinery and equipment, e.g. engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, valves, gears, roller bearings, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing, without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items may be included. However, making specialized components and accessories by moulding or extruding plastics materials is included in class The recovery of waste, i.e. the processing of waste into secondary raw materials is classified in class 3730 (Materials recovery). Remark: The boundaries of manufacturing and the other sectors of the classification system can be somewhat blurry. As a general rule, the units in the manufacturing sector are engaged in the transformation of materials into new products. Their output is a new product. However, the definition of what constitutes a new product can be somewhat subjective. As clarification, the following activities are considered manufacturing in ISIC: - Milk pasteurizing and bottling (see 1050) 46

47 - Fresh fish processing (oyster shucking, fish filleting), not done on a fishing boat (see 1020) - Printing and related activities (see 1811, 1812) - Ready-mixed concrete production (see 2395) - Leather converting (see 1511) - Wood preserving (see 1610) - Electroplating, plating, metal heat treating, and polishing (see 2592) - Rebuilding or remanufacturing machinery (e.g., automobile engines, see 2910) - Tyre retreading (see 2211) Conversely, there are activities that though sometimes considered manufacturing, are classified in other sections of ISIC (in other words, they are not classified as manufacturing). They include: - Logging, classified in section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing); - Beneficiating of agricultural products, classified in section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing); - Beneficiating of ores and other minerals, classified in section C (Mining); - Construction of structures and fabricating operations performed at the site of construction, classified in section F (Construction); - Activities of breaking bulk and redistribution in smaller lots, including packaging, repackaging, or bottling products, such as liquors or chemicals; the customized assembly of computers; sorting of scrap; mixing paints to customer order; and cutting metals to customer order, produce a modified version of the same product, not a new product, and are classified to section G (Trade). 10 Manufacture of food products This division includes the processing of the products of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing into food and drink for humans or animals, and includes the production of various intermediate products that are not directly food products. The activity often generates associated products of greater or lesser value (for example, hides from slaughtering, or oilcake from oil production). This division is organized by activities dealing with different kinds of products: meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, fats and oils, milk products, grain mill products, animal feeds, other food products and beverages. Production can be carried out for own account, as well as for third parties, as in custom slaughtering. Some activities are considered manufacturing (for example, those performed in bakeries, pastry shops, and prepared meat shops etc. which sell their own production) even though there is retail sale of the products in the producers' own shop.

Growing of natural fibres is covered under division 01, while manufacture of synthetic fibres is a chemical process that is classified in class Manufacture of wearing apparel is covered in division Comment: Is there a preference to incorporate a strict differentiation between manufacture of textiles and manufacture of apparel with the consequence that current class 1430 (former ISIC 1730: Manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics and apparel) would have to be split into fabric production and article/apparel production? The treatment in ISIC Rev.3 reflects a "unit concept", with default allocation of integrated activities, whereas value-added could be used to assign such units to one division or the other. 131 Spinning, weaving and finishing of textiles 1311 Preparation and spinning of textile fibres; weaving of textiles - preparatory operations on textile fibres: reeling and washing of silk degreasing and carbonizing of wool and dyeing of wool fleece carding and combing of all kinds of animal, vegetable and man-made fibres - spinning and manufacture of yarn or thread for weaving or sewing, for the trade or for further processing texturizing, twisting, folding, cabling and dipping of synthetic or artificial filament yarns - manufacture of broad woven cotton-type, woollen-type, worsted-type or silk-type fabrics, including from mixtures or artificial or synthetic yarns - manufacture of other broad woven fabrics, using flax, ramie, hemp, jute, bast fibres and special yarns This class also includes: - manufacture of paper yarn - manufacture of woven pile or chenille fabrics, terry towelling, gauze etc. - manufacture of woven fabrics of glass fibres - manufacture of imitation fur by weaving - preparatory operations carried out in combination with agriculture or farming, see 01 - retting of plants bearing vegetable textile fibres (jute, flax, coir etc.), see cotton ginning, see manufacture of textile floor coverings, see manufacture of non-woven fabrics and felts, see manufacture of narrow fabrics, see manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics, see manufacture of synthetic or artificial fibres and tows, manufacture of single yarns (including high-tenacity yarn and yarn for carpets) of synthetic or artificial fibres, see manufacture of glass fibres, see spinning of asbestos yarn, see

The production processes include sawing, planing, shaping, laminating, and assembling of wood products starting from logs that are cut into bolts, or lumber that may then be cut further, or shaped by lathes or other shaping tools. The lumber or other transformed wood shapes may also be subsequently planed or smoothed, and assembled into finished products, such as wood containers. With the exception of sawmills and wood preservation units, the units are grouped into industries mainly based on the specific products manufactured. This division does not include either the manufacture of furniture (3100), or the installation of wooden fittings and the like (4130). 161 Sawmilling and planing of wood See class Sawmilling and planing of wood - sawing, planing and machining of wood - slicing, peeling or chipping logs - manufacture of wooden railway sleepers - manufacture of unassembled wooden flooring - manufacture of wood wool, wood flour, chips, particles This class also includes: - drying of wood - impregnation or chemical treatment of wood with preservatives or other materials - logging and production of wood in the rough, see 0221, manufacture of veneer sheets thin enough for use in plywood, boards and panels, see manufacture of shingles and shakes, beadings and mouldings, see production of wood chips in the forest by portable chipper equipment, see Manufacture of products of wood, cork, straw and plaiting materials 64

The manufacturing of these products is grouped together because they constitute a series of vertically connected processes. More than one activity is often carried out in a single unit. There are essentially three activities. The manufacturing of pulp involves separating the cellulose fibers from other impurities in wood or used paper. The manufacturing of paper involves matting these fibers into a sheet. Converted paper products are made from paper and other materials by various cutting and shaping techniques, including coating and laminating activities. The paper articles may be printed (e.g. wallpaper, gift wrap etc.), as long as the printing of information is not the main purpose. The production of pulp, paper and paperboard in bulk is included in class 1701, while the remaining classes include the production of further-processed paper and paper products. 66

The support activities included here are an integral part of the printing industry, and a product (a printing plate, a bound book, or a computer disk or file) that is an integral part of the printing industry is almost always provided by these operations. Processes used in printing include a variety of methods for transferring an image from a plate, screen, or computer file to some medium, such as paper, plastics, metal, textile articles, or wood. The most prominent of these methods entails the transfer of the image from a plate or screen to the medium (lithographic, gravure, screen, and flexographic printing). A rapidly growing new technology uses a computer file to directly ''drive'' the printing mechanism to create the image and new electrostatic and other types of equipment (digital or non-impact printing).

The processes used in the manufacture of furniture are standard methods of forming materials and assembling components, including cutting, moulding and laminating. The design of the article, for both aesthetic and functional qualities, is an important aspect of the production process. Some of the processes used in furniture manufacturing are similar to processes that are used in other segments of manufacturing. For example, cutting and assembly occurs in the production of wood trusses that are classified in division 16, Manufacture of wood and of products. However, the multiple processes distinguish wood furniture manufacturing from wood product manufacturing. Similarly, metal furniture manufacturing uses techniques that are also employed in the manufacturing of roll-formed products classified in division 25, Manufacture of fabricated 115

116 metal products. The molding process for plastics furniture is similar to the molding of other plastics products. However, plastics furniture producing tends to be a specialized activity. 310 Manufacture of furniture See class Manufacture of furniture This class covers manufacture of furniture of any kind, any material (except stone, concrete or ceramic) for any place and various purposes. - manufacture of chairs and seats for offices, workrooms, hotels, restaurants, public and domestic premises - manufacture of chairs and seats for theatres, cinemas and the like - manufacture of chairs and seats for transport equipment - manufacture of sofas, sofabeds and sofa sets - manufacture of garden chairs and seats - manufacture of special furniture for shops: counters, display cases, shelves etc. - manufacture of office furniture - manufacture of kitchen furniture - manufacture of furniture for bedrooms, living rooms, gardens etc. - manufacture of cabinets for sewing machines, televisions etc. - manufacture of laboratory benches, stools, and other laboratory seating, laboratory furniture (e.g., cabinets and tables) - manufacture of medical, surgical, dental or veterinary furniture - manufacture of furniture for churches, schools, restaurants This class also includes: - finishing such as upholstery of chairs and seats - finishing of furniture such as spraying, painting, French polishing and upholstering - manufacture of mattress supports - manufacture of mattresses: mattresses fitted with springs or stuffed or internally fitted with a supporting material uncovered cellular rubber or plastic mattresses - decorative restaurant carts, such as a desert cart, food wagons - manufacture of pillows, pouffes, cushions, quilts and eiderdowns, see manufacture of inflatable rubber mattresses, see manufacture of furniture of ceramics, concrete and stone, see 2391, 2395, manufacture of lighting fittings or lamps, see manufacture of car seats, railway seats, aircraft seats, see 2930, 3020, blackboards, see modular furniture attachment and installation, partition installation, laboratory equipment furniture installation, see Comment: Should additional detail be introduced for the manufacture of furniture?

117 32 Manufacturing n.e.c. It should be noted that division 32 is a residual division. The usual criteria for grouping classes into divisions have not been applied here Comment: Manufacture of goods typically manufactured from various materials (e.g. gaskets, [cork, textile, plastic, rubber, metal], signs [wood, metal, plastic], blinds [plastic, metal, wood], etc.) could be placed under manufacturing n.e.c, since allocation by material does not reflect the production patterns. The production process is often quite similar, independent of the product and processes using different materials are carried out in the same unit. In this respect, a class for signs has been created in this division. Is there support for other categories with a similar approach. If yes, for what groups of products. 321 Manufacture of jewellery, bijouterie and related articles This group includes the manufacture of jewellery and imitation jewellery articles Manufacture of jewellery and related articles - production of worked pearls - production of precious and semi-precious stones in the worked state, including the working of industrial quality stones and synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious stones - working of diamonds - manufacture of jewellery of precious metal or of base metals clad with precious metals, or precious or semi-precious stones, or of combinations of precious metal and precious or semiprecious stones or of other materials - manufacture of goldsmiths' articles of precious metals or of base metals clad with precious metals: dinnerware, flatware, hollowware, toilet articles, office or desk articles, articles for religious use etc. - manufacture of technical or laboratory articles of precious metal (except instruments and parts thereof): crucibles, spatulas, electroplating anodes etc. - (precious) metal watch bands; wristbands, watch straps, cigarette cases - manufacture of coins, including coins for use as legal tender, whether or not of precious metal This class also includes: - engraving of personal precious and non-precious metal products - manufacture of articles of base metal plated with precious metal, see division 25 - manufacture of watch cases, see manufacture of imitation jewellery, see

The dimension of the network is not decisive; also included are electricity, gas, steam and hot water supply and the like in industrial parks or blocks of flats. Production, infrastructure management, and supplying end-users may be handled by the same or a different unit. Units engaged in the supply of electricity and/or gas and/or steam and hot water have to be classified according to their principal activity according to value-added. 34 Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply This division includes the operation of electric and gas utilities, which generate, transmit, control and distribute electric power or gas. Also included is the provision of steam and air-conditioning supply. This division excludes the operation of water and sewerage utilities, see 35, Electric power generation, transmission and distribution See class

127 3410 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution This class comprises the generation of bulk electric power, transmission from generating facilities to distribution centers, and distribution to end users. - operation of generation facilities that produce electric energy; including thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric, gas turbine, diesel and renewable - operation of transmission systems that convey the electricity from the generation facility to the distribution system; - operation of distribution systems (i.e., consisting of lines, poles, meters, and wiring) that convey electric power received from the generation facility or the transmission system to the final consumer - sale of electricity to the user - activities of electric power brokers or agents that arrange the sale of electricity via power distribution systems operated by others - operation of electricity and transmission capacity exchanges for electric power Comment: In some countries, the deregulation of electricity generation and transmission has led to the emergence of markets for electrical power. In these deregulated environments, the operation of such markets and the intermediation function performed by brokers have become the principal activity of some economic agents. A question has been raised therefore as to where in ISIC to classify these activities. Traditionally, the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in most countries has been carried out by regulated monopolies (so as to guarantee security of supply and because of large infrastructure costs). For this reason, industry classifications have recognized production, transmission and distribution of electricity as a single integrated activity, classified separately with other similar "utilities" (gas, steam and hot water). With the breaking up of these monopolies, units can specialize in generation only, transmission only, distribution, the operation of exchanges, and a variety of intermediation activities between producers and between producers and consumers. If electricity were considered a normal good, each of these activities could be classified to a specific class in ISIC: generation in manufacturing, transmission and distribution in transport, the operation of exchanges in finance and the various types of intermediation in trade. This represents the most disintegrated case. Alternatively, only some activities could be split out and recognized on their own, for example transport (as is the case in ISIC for transportation via pipelines of gas). At the other extreme, all activities related to the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, including the operation of exchanges and brokering, could be considered together as part of a single class, as in ISIC 3.1. Given the different stages of deregulation of electricity markets in different countries, the TSG has only considered options that reflect very little or no dis-integration of these activities: 1) that all activities related to the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, including the operation of exchanges and brokering, be classified in class 3410 of ISIC rev 4; or 2) that the operation of exchanges be broken out and classified along with other commodity exchanges in Administration of financial markets. Which of these two options would you support? 127

This includes the enactment and judicial interpretation of laws and their pursuant regulation, as well as the administration of programmes based on them, legislative activities, taxation, national defence, public order and safety, immigration services, foreign affairs and the administration of government programmes. This division also includes compulsory social security activities. The legal or institutional status is not, in itself, the determining factor for an activity to belong in this section, rather than the activity being of a nature specified in the previous paragraph. This means that activities classified elsewhere in ISIC do not fall under this section, even if carried out by public entities. For example, administration of the school system (i.e. regulations, checks, curricula) falls under this section, but teaching itself does not (see section P), and a prison or military hospital is classified to health (see section Q). Similarly, some activities described in this section may be carried out by non-government units Comment: An alternate structure for the Public administration section has been proposed. The structure is shown below, while detailed explanatory notes for this structure will be posted on UNSD's website.

In addition, this alternate structure also includes Investigation and Security Services in Public Administration (see also comment under division 73, class 7310). Unlike the question in class 7310, this alternate structure would affect class 7310 and parts of The remainder of 7320 would then have to be moved to a different class, resulting in the abolishment of division 73.
