The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is a system for classifying industries by a four-digit code. Established in the United States in 1937, it is used by government agencies to classify industry areas and by businesses for market analysis.
Overview
SIC codes are 4-digit codes that classify businesses by their primary type of economic activity. Tomba provides SIC classification data for companies in our database to help you filter and target specific industries.
Usage in Tomba
You can use SIC codes to:
- Filter companies by traditional industry classifications
- Compare data with historical business records
- Target specific business sectors and subsectors
- Integrate with legacy systems that use SIC codes
SIC Code Structure
- 2-digit: Major group (broadest level)
- 3-digit: Industry group
- 4-digit: Industry (most specific)

SIC vs NAICS
While SIC codes are still widely used, the NAICS system was developed to provide a more modern and comprehensive classification structure:
| Feature | SIC | NAICS |
|---|---|---|
| Code Length | 4 digits | 6 digits |
| Created | 1937 | 1997 |
| Geographic Scope | U.S. only | North America (US, Canada, Mexico) |
| Industries Classified | ~1,000 | ~1,170 |
| Updates | Limited | Regular revisions every 5 years |
