What are the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes?
You are required to report the NAICS code(s) that applies to the activity involving each reportable substance. The code(s) will provide the Ministers with general information on the number and types of sectors involved with the substances listed in the Notice. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was developed by Statistics Canada, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, and Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Estadistica Geografia e Informatica, to enable the respective national agencies to collect comparable statistical data. To determine which NAICS code applies to the activities on which you are reporting, a list of six-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes is available at the following Statistics Canada Internet site: http://www.statcan.ca/english/Subjects/Standard/naics/2002/naics02-menu.htm. Please note that the NAICS code(s) web address is case sensitive. Back to top 15 – Information you may reasonably be expected to have access to
