SSIC (Singapore Standard Industrial Classification)
SSIC (Singapore Standard Industrial Classification) is Singapore's national system of codes for classifying business activities, which every company declares when it registers with ACRA.
The SSIC is maintained by the Singapore Department of Statistics (SingStat). The current edition, SSIC 2025, was published in April 2025 and replaced SSIC 2020. ACRA and government digital services moved company activity codes to SSIC 2025 from May 2026.
Companies declare a primary activity and optionally a secondary activity, each as a five-digit code. The codes form a hierarchy:
| Level | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Section | Letter | Manufacturing |
| Division | 2 digits | A major industry within the section |
| Group | 3 digits | A narrower slice of the division |
| Class | 4 digits | A specific type of activity |
| Sub-class | 5 digits | The full code a company registers |
Why it matters in sales: SSIC gives you an official, consistent label for what almost every Singapore company does. Filtering on it at the division or group level is one of the most precise ways to build a target list.
