1.General
• The size of SUT refers the number of Industries and Products .
• For 2011 ICP, the guiding factor for determining the size and
classification of SUT is that the SUT product classification should
match with ICP basic heading classifications.
• In most countries, the primary data available from different
sources are classified:– Central Product classification (CPC) for product
– International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) for
industries
– Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) &
Harmonized Commodity description and coding system (HS)
for foreign trade

2. Classification of Industries for SUT
• The SNA recommends the use of ISIC for the classification of
Industries for SUT.
• The latest version of ISIC rev 4 contains 21 sections, 88 divisions,
238 groups & 419 classes
• ICP does not make any recommendation on the size of industries,
as the requirement of ICP are GDP expenditure in terms of
product and purposes.
• For ICP, product classification are more important than industrial
classification.
• Countries choose industry classification for SUT on the basis of
their importance to the economy.

3. Classification of Products for SUT
• The SNA recommends the use of Central Product Classification (
CPC) for classifying products.
• For ICP, the ideal product level to be included in the SUT is the ICP
basic headings.
• ICP level of product classification in the SUT will provide weight
to the price collected and for the compilation of real GDP
expenditure.

4. Final Consumption Expenditure Vector
• This is the Use Matrix to the institutional sectors of Households,
NPISH and Government.
• The recording of the expenditure of these sectors follows the
classification of final expenditure by purpose. namely (COICOP),
(COPNI) & (COFOG).
• The primary data available on consumption expenditures of
household , NPISH and government according to purpose need to
be reclassified to the product classification chosen for SUT.
• The concordance table between COICOP, COFOG & COPNI has to
be constructed.

5.Import & Export Vector
• The International classification for recording imports and exports
are the Standard International Trade classification SITC & HS.
• The concordance table has to be established to transform the
data on Import and export in SITC/HS to the product included in
the SUT based on CPC classification.

Statistics
6. Concluding Remarks
• Countries has to choose the size of SUT on the basis of the
number of factors that include:Importance of industries and products;
Availability of primary data;
Current national accounts practice;
• For ICP 2011, the guiding factor to meet the ICP requirement for
countries is to construct SUT at basic heading level

7. Comment and Suggestion
• The chapter properly explained the industry and
product classification for SUT
• It also properly explained the ICP requirement.
• It has to include explanation on the uses of National
Industrial classification (NIC)
• Since the classification of product and industry is the
first step in SUT compilation, this chapter has to in the
beginning of the document.
• The concordance table has to established b/n CPC & ICP.
• Concordance tables has to be annexed.

8.Point of Discussion
• How can we allocate products which are classified in “
other items not else classified”
• How can we use National Industrial Classification (NIC)
for ICP purpose.
• Which move is advantageous?
– Expanding from the smaller size SUT to larger size
– Contracting from the larger SUT to a smaller size
