# SIC Codes 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) ## Complete SIC Codes List | Code | Industry Title | | ---- |
