Classification

SIC Code

Definition. SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) is the older 4-digit US industry classification system, largely replaced by NAIC but still used by some carriers and insurance bureaus.

Also known as: Standard Industrial Classification

Many commercial insurance forms and rating systems still reference SIC alongside NAIC. Knowing both your SIC and NAIC codes simplifies quote applications.
