Abstract:
Industry Classification Coding System, v. 1.3 helps users code records, at the 
lowest level of detail, to NAICS Canada, 1980 SIC-E and other select 
classifications. Codes supplied for other Industrial Classifications supported 
by the ICCS, such as the NAICS United States and ISIC Rev 3.1, are base on Statistics 
Canada's interpretation of these classifications. The Industry Classification 
Coding System allows a user to describe a business' major activity and see a 
list of 1980 SIC-E and NAICS Canada codes matching this description. The class
definition is provided for each code in this list of potential matches.
Using this information, a user can then select the best code to apply
to the record's description. The ICCS also allows a coder to enter an
industry classification code (1980 SIC-E or NAICS Canada) and get a list
of all the ICCS business activity descriptions associated with that
code, as well as its class definition and concordance to other
classifications in the ICCS.
