Use cases
SIC stores standard classification codes, supporting both Industry and Occupation types via the type singleselect. This dual-purpose design allows the same entity to hold SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes for company categorisation and SOC (Standard Occupational Classification) codes for role categorisation. Both CLIENT and COM reference SIC via the sic objectLookup with create: true, enabling users to add new classification codes as needed.
The description field provides the official classification description. This entity complements IND (Industry) which provides informal, business-friendly industry names, while SIC provides the formal government-standard codes needed for regulatory reporting, data integration with external databases (like Companies House), and standardised industry analysis.
