Definition
ANZSIC is the Australia New Zealand Standard Industry Classification. It was published in 1993 as a hierarchical four-level classification. It is closely based on the International Standard Industrial Classification Revision 3 (United Nations 1990). In 1996 New Zealand published ANZSIC 1996 (New Zealand use version), which is a modification of ANZSIC 1993 with another level for additional detail on New Zealand-specific industries. This edition omits Australian industries which don't occur in New Zealand such as sugar cane growing, consolidates clothing manufacture into one industry and brings in some specifically New Zealand industries. ANZSIC is currently being reviewed by the ABS and SNZ with a view to harmonising with NAICS, the North American Industry Classification.
