I am analyzing UK government company registry (CompaniesHouse) data. In UK you have SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes that help define what industry sector a company operates in. I am aware of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) that seems to operate similarly. Is there any mapping between the two? What do other countries do?

I don't think there is a mapping between the classifications, unfortunately.– marfiFeb 7, 2018 at 5:03

2@famargar, what about these links: lmsresources.labormarketinfo.com/library/ep/resources/…, air-worldwide.com/Documentation/…, bls.gov/ppi/ppisicnaics03.htm, bea.gov/faq/index.cfm?faq_id=22, naics.com/naics-to-sic-crosswalk-search-results ?– Stanislav KralinFeb 7, 2018 at 10:43

2As for other countries, there exists the so-called ОКВЭД in Russia.– Stanislav KralinFeb 7, 2018 at 10:58

@StanislavKralin interesting find. Do you happen to know of more recent file though? Also, I think now Europe has moved to NACE, at least Belgium is using both the '03 and '08 editions. Judging to the file header "NAICS 02", I guess in 2003 NACE replaced NAICS.– marfiFeb 7, 2018 at 12:58

Is there any mapping between the two?
There exist miscellaneous services, e. g. this one. However, I guess you are looking for a whole dataset, according to the scope of this site.
On this page, I have found the following links:
The page also contains mappings between different versions of NAICS. Thus, one could construct mappings between SIC 1987 and recent versions of NAICS.

What do other countries do?
- This Wikipedia page contains list of industry classifications (11 items).
