A message from Bureau van Dijk about company classification:

We’re changing how we manage SIC codes in Fame.

In October 2011 we added the UK SIC 2007 codes to Fame. These are the official codes used by Companies House and replace the 2003 classification.

Currently Fame includes both the 2003 and 2007 versions of the UK SIC codes.

In early June the 2003 classifications will be removed from Fame.

The 2007 classification offers more detail for companies in the IT services and related industries.

We’ve created a tool to help you convert the UK SIC 2003 codes to UK SIC 2007. You can find this in the Help menu on Fame under ‘Tools’.
