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. – marfi Feb 7 '18 at 5:03

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).
