The Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification (HSIC)
Version 1.0 introduced in 1990, lastly revised in 2001 to Version 1.1
Compatible with ISIC Rev. 2 and Rev. 3
Devised and maintained by Census and Statistics Department (C&SD)
A basic stratification for sample selection and for data compilation, analysis and dissemination

Review of HSIC to reflect
Significant changes in the structure of Hong Kong economy
Emergence of new economic activities
Incorporate the conceptual and structural changes in ISIC Rev. 4
Development of HSIC V2.0
Aims to achieve
Relevance Compatibility Continuity

5
Changes in structure of classification scheme From 4-level to 5-level hierarchical system From 9 to 21 top level groups
Changes for enhancing international comparability High degree of conformance with ISIC Rev. 4 up to level 4 Enhanced data relevance through new groups at higher levels, e.g.
“Information and communications” and “Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities”
Changes initiated by Hong Kong to better meet local requirements
From 886 to 1000 6-digit codes at the most detailed level
Changes from HSIC V1.1 to HSIC V2.0

Better reflect significant local economic activities:
Changes initiated by Hong Kong to better meet local requirements – examples
% contribution to GDP (at current factor cost)1991 2006
Services 77.8% 91.2%
Import/Export 15.1% 21.4%
Manufacturing 14.5% 3.2%

8
Reducing number of lower level codes for manufacturing activities
Reduce number of 6-digit codes under “Manufacturing sector” from 372 to 244
Refined industries with local significance
Attempt to split level 3 or 4 codes to level 5 codes
Further breakdown of miscellaneous activities
Examples, “Yoga and gymnastics instruction”, “Weight control and slimming services” and “Foot reflexology”
Changes initiated by Hong Kong to better meet local requirements – examples (cont’d)

survey systems) Social survey systems involving classification of employment
information (2 survey systems including population census)
A strategic and centrally coordinated approach to manage the changes
Institutionalisation Consultation Continuity Resources acquisition Capacity building/implementation tools Other implementation issues
Strategic considerations

“Working Group on Revision of HSIC” Headed by a Directorate officer, senior professionals serving as
members To map out implications, work out implementation approach,
advise and monitor work progress, deliberate issues and make recommendations on implementation
PRINCE (Projects IN Controlled Environments) methodology A well established project management methodology Items to be managed include function, time, resources, quality and
risk Organisation :
Institutionalisation
Project Steering Committee (PCS)
Sub-committees on Project Management and Assurance (SPMA)
CRE and related surveys
Wage related surveys Other economic surveys

Maintain stability and continuity of data series over time
CRE Special Updating Exercise (recode existing records) Covered 350 000 active establishments in CRE 210 000 establishments involved splitting/regrouping of industry
codes A resource consuming task requiring some 250 man-months for
telephone interview and field enumeration
Continuity
Two major activities
Converting HSIC codes of existing records in CRE
Parallel coding in CREfor a transitory period
![Page 14: Referencing ISIC Revision 4 for Development and Implementation of Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification Simon W T YEUNG Census and Statistics Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d9f5503460f94a8a063/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Parallel coding in CRE
Some 100 man-months required for system enhancement and coding
Transitory period for eight reference quarters in 2008 and 2009
A basis for redesigning surveys, including
Precision of estimates
Sample size requirement
New demands due to new industry groups
Benchmark for backcasting historical series
Continuity (cont’d)

Resources required for
System enhancement, recoding and parallel coding in CRE
Extended impacts on various data collection programmes and corresponding computing systems
Resources acquisition
Critical Factors
Timely acquisition
Effective staff redevelopment plan leverage on the
experience and expertise of existing staff to lead the late comers to the project
Centralised proposal on resource funding requirement covering all activities

Legal issue
Reclassification of economic activities leads to changes in survey coverage
Amendments to survey orders in the Census and Statistics Ordinance required
Early start is necessary to cope with time - consuming legislative procedures
Other implementation issue
![Page 19: Referencing ISIC Revision 4 for Development and Implementation of Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification Simon W T YEUNG Census and Statistics Department](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d9f5503460f94a8a063/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Experience gained
Consideration Means OutcomeInstitutionalisation High level commitment is essential Development and
implementation work progressing smoothly
Consultation Early involvement of wide-spectrum of stakeholders is crucial
Adopted details in HSIC V2.0 are representative of current economic activities
Continuity Recode records and provide parallel codes in CRE are critical
Good start for such subsequent activities as sample redesign and system enhancements
Resources acquisition
Adopt a coordinated approach with timely submission of funding request, and appropriate staff deployment plan, is extremely important
Administrative costs saved, resources approved timely and harmonisation on human resources achieved
Capacity building / implementation tools
To develop a variety of tools is important; make reference to resourceful materials
A number of tools are being developed for implementation
Legal issue: amendments to survey order
Early start of amending relevant legislation is necessary
Legal amendments are being processed
