The Standard Industrial Classification or SIC Code is a standardized form of classification for industrial categories. The filing company that submits an agreement to the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) which assigns their own SIC code based upon their industry.
For an agreement to be assigned an SIC code, a company must file their claim under their core business classification to be categorized under their SIC code. Please note a company's core business is not always related as the intended use of the document. If the intention is to search an industry that directly relates to the transaction, please see Industry.
To search an SIC Code, start typing a number or name into the text box. A list of all available SIC codes will automatically populate. To add a code(s), check the box next to the number. To remove a code(s), uncheck the box next to the number. Once all desired code(s) are selected, click Apply.
In cases where an SIC does not populate, this could mean there isn't a filing under the desired code or the SIC code has changed in the public domain. An example of this would be a company deciding to change its SIC filing. Agreements may also be filed where no SIC code was assigned but may be assigned at a later time.
