Section B
Mining and quarrying
This section includes the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids (coal and ores), liquids
(petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by different methods such as
underground or surface mining, well operation, seabed mining etc.
This section also 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 carried out 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,
petroleum, gas); divisions 07, 08 concern metal ores, various minerals and quarry products.
Some of the technical operations of this section, particularly related to 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 excludes the processing of the extracted materials (see section C—Manufacturing),
which also covers the bottling of natural spring and mineral waters at springs and wells (see class
1104) or the crushing, grinding or otherwise treating certain earths, rocks and minerals not carried
out in conjunction with mining and quarrying (see class 2399). This section also excludes the
usage of the extracted materials without a further transformation for construction purposes (see

Section C
Manufacturing
This section includes the physical or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components
into new products, although this cannot be used as the single universal criterion for
defining manufacturing (see remark on processing of waste below). 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. Substantial alteration,
renovation or reconstruction of goods is generally considered to be manufacturing.
Units engaged in manufacturing 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 output of a manufacturing process 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 output of alumina refining is the input used in the primary production
of aluminium; primary aluminium is the input to aluminium wire drawing; and aluminium
wire is the input for the manufacture of fabricated wire products.
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 2220.
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.
The recovery of waste, i.e. the processing of waste into secondary raw materials is classified in class
3830 (Materials recovery). While this may involve physical or chemical transformations, this is not
International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities ( 86 ISIC), Revision 4
considered to be a part of manufacturing. The primary purpose of these activities is considered
to be the treatment or processing of waste and they are therefore classified in Section E (Water
supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities). However, the manufacture of
new final products (as opposed to secondary raw materials) is classified in manufacturing, even
if these processes use waste as an input. For example, the production of silver from film waste is
considered to be a manufacturing process.
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 95 (Repair of computers and personal and household goods), while the repair of
motor vehicles is classified in division 45 (Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles
and motorcycles).
The installation of machinery and equipment, when carried out as a specialized activity, is classified
in 3320.
Remark: The boundaries of manufacturing and the other sectors of the classification system can
be somewhat blurry. As a general rule, the activities in the manufacturing section involve 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)
——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 of machinery (e.g. automobile engines, see 2910)
——tyre retreading (see 2211)
Conversely, there are activities that, although sometimes involving transformation processes, 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 B (Mining and quarrying);
——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 of products, such as liquors or chemicals; sorting of scrap; mixing of
paints to customers’ order; and cutting of metals to customers’ order, producing a modified
version of the same product, are classified to section G (Wholesale and retail trade;
repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles).
10 Manufacture of food products
This division includes the processing of the products of agriculture, forestry and fishing
into food 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).
Detailed structure and explanatory notes 87
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 and
other food products. 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. However, where
the processing is minimal and does not lead to a real transformation, the unit is classified
to Wholesale and retail trade (section G).
Production of animal feeds from slaughter waste or by-products is classified in 1080,
while processing food and beverage waste into secondary raw material is classified to
3830, and disposal of food and beverage waste in 3821.

There are essentially three activities: The manufacture of pulp involves separating the
cellulose fibers from other impurities in wood or used paper. The manufacture 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.

18 Printing and reproduction of recorded media
This division includes printing of products, such as newspapers, books, periodicals, business
forms, greeting cards, and other materials, and associated support activities, such as
bookbinding, plate-making services, and data imaging. 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 a 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 through lithographic, gravure, screen or flexographic
printing. Often a computer file is used to directly ‘’drive’’ the printing mechanism to
create the image or electrostatic and other types of equipment (digital or non-impact
printing).
Though printing and publishing can be carried out by the same unit (a newspaper, for
example), it is less and less the case that these distinct activities are carried out in the
same physical location.
This division also includes the reproduction of recorded media, such as compact discs,
video recordings, software on discs or tapes, records etc.
This division excludes publishing activities (see section J).
181 Printing and service activities related to printing
This group includes printing of products, such as newspapers, books, periodicals, business

31 Manufacture of furniture
This division includes the manufacture of furniture and related products of any material
except stone, concrete and ceramic. 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 wood 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 metal products). The molding process
for plastics furniture is similar to the molding of other plastics products. However, the
manufacture of plastics furniture tends to be a specialized activity.

merchandise.
Also included in this section are the repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles.
Sale without transformation is considered to include the usual operations (or manipulations)
associated with trade, for example sorting, grading and assembling of goods, mixing (blending)
of goods (for example sand), bottling (with or without preceding bottle cleaning), packing, breaking
bulk and repacking for distribution in smaller lots, storage (whether or not frozen or chilled),
cleaning and drying of agricultural products, cutting out of wood fibreboards or metal sheets as
secondary activities.
Division 45 includes all activities related to the sale and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles,
while divisions 46 and 47 include all other sale activities. The distinction between division 46
(wholesale) and division 47 (retail sale) is based on the predominant type of customer.
Wholesale is the resale (sale without transformation) of new and used goods to retailers, to industrial,
commercial, institutional or professional users, or to other wholesalers, or involves acting
as an agent or broker in buying goods for, or selling goods to, such persons or companies. The
principal types of businesses included are merchant wholesalers, i.e. wholesalers who take title
to the goods they sell, such as wholesale merchants or jobbers, industrial distributors, exporters,
importers, and cooperative buying associations, sales branches and sales offices (but not retail
stores) that are maintained by manufacturing or mining units apart from their plants or mines for
the purpose of marketing their products and that do not merely take orders to be filled by direct
shipments from the plants or mines. Also included are merchandise brokers, commission merchants
and agents and assemblers, buyers and cooperative associations engaged in the marketing
of farm products. Wholesalers frequently physically assemble, sort and grade goods in large
lots, break bulk, repack and redistribute in smaller lots, for example pharmaceuticals; store, refrigerate,
deliver and install goods, engage in sales promotion for their customers and label design.
Retailing is the resale (sale without transformation) of new and used goods mainly to the general
public for personal or household consumption or utilization, by shops, department stores, stalls,
mail-order houses, door-to-door sales persons, hawkers and peddlers, consumer cooperatives,
