Standard Industrial Classification Code Title (SIC)

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC) generator creates descriptive names or labels assigned to a specific SIC code. It provides a brief, standardized description of the industry or business activity represented by the code, helping classify organizations based on their primary economic activity.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
SIC Code Title	Footwear, Aluminum Extruded Products, …	character varyingcharactertext	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column whose name starts with ‘industry’ or ‘SIC’, includes ‘code’, and ends with ‘desc’, with any characters in between, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.

The Text box displays a .csv file with the list of default SIC codes. The default path to the file is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\SICCodes.csv.
