NIC 2025 hierarchy

NIC 2025 is a hierarchy, not a flat list. Users who understand the hierarchy make better code decisions.

Section

Sections are the broadest level. The current build exposes 22 sections that act as the first routing layer in the site.

Division, Group and Class

Divisions (86), Groups (257) and Classes (463) are the comparison layers. They are where users should narrow the field before trusting a final Sub-class.

Sub-class

Sub-classes (1887) are the practical destination level. They are usually the final entries users care about when matching a business activity to NIC 2025.
