APPENDIX II

DETAILED STRUCTURE OF VIETNAM STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
(Issued together with Decision No. 27/2018/QD-TTg dated July 6, 2018 of the Prime Minister)

I. DEFINITIONS ABOUT ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND ECONOMIC SECTOR

1. Economic activity: is the process of using materials, machinery, equipment, labor, technology, information networks etc. to create new goods or services so that each economic activity is characterized by the production process, input and output.

2. Economic sector: Theoretically, it would be best if each activity constitutes an industry, so the industry portfolio is the list of economic activities. In practice, however, the industry category under this optimal standard is not determined by the abundance, complexity and volatility of economic activities. Thus, the economic sector in Vietnamese Standard Industrial Classification is the set of similar economic activities based on three criteria ranked in the order of priority below:

- Process and production technology of economic activity;

- Input materials that economic activities use to create products;

- Characteristics of products produced by economic activity.

The economic sector of Vietnam classifies economic activities based on the nature of economic activity, so it is important to note the following:

- Not based on type of ownership, type of organization, method or size of production activities. For example, for footwear production, regardless of whether the activity is owned by the public or private, the type of organization is independent or dependent, or the individual business is conducted in the handcrafted or machine-made form, with a large or small scale, are classified in the sub-class "Footwear", code 15200.

- The term "economic sector" differs from the concept of "management sector": The economic sector in Vietnamese Standard Industrial Classification is formed by economic activities taking place in the economic territory of Vietnam, regardless of these economic activities are managed by anyone; in contrast, the management sector consists of economic activities under the management of certain units (ministries, state management departments, etc.), regardless of the economic activity. Thus the management sector may include one or more economic sectors.

- The concept of economic sector should also be distinguished from the concept of occupation. The economic sector is associated with the economic unit, where workers work with different occupations. Labor by economic sector reflects the economic activity of each individual in the overall activity of the unit; workers' occupations reflect their specific skills and occupations at the unit. For example, an employee who works as an accountant in the unit that has a main activity, "manufacture of tobacco" where the worker is classified as a tobacco worker but his/her occupation is accountant.

C: MANUFACTURING

This section includes the physical or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products, although this cannot be used as the single universal criterion for defining manufacturing (see remark on processing of waste below). The materials, substances, or components transformed are raw materials that are products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining or quarrying as well as products of other manufacturing activities. Substantial alteration, renovation or reconstruction of goods is generally considered to be manufacturing. Units engaged in manufacturing are often described as plants, factories or mills and characteristically use power-driven machines and materials-handling equipment. However, units that transform materials or substances into new products by hand or in the worker’s home and those engaged in selling to the general public of products, such as bakeries and custom tailors, are also included in this section. Manufacturing units may process materials or may contract with other units to process their materials for them. Both types of units are included in manufacturing.

The output of a manufacturing process may be finished in the sense that it is ready for utilization or consumption, or it may be semi-finished in the sense that it is to become an input for further manufacturing. For example, the output of alumina refining is the input used in the primary production of aluminium; primary aluminium is the input to aluminium wire drawing; and aluminium wire is the input for the manufacture of fabricated wire products.

Assembly of the component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing. This includes the assembly of manufactured products from either self-produced or purchased components.

Manufacture of specialized components and parts of, and accessories and attachments to, machinery and equipment is, as a general rule, classified in the same class as the manufacture of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended. Manufacture of unspecialized components and parts of machinery and equipment, e.g. engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, valves, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing, without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items may be included. However, making specialized components and accessories by moulding or extruding plastics materials is included in class 2220 (Manufacture of plastics products). Assembly of the component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing. This includes the assembly of manufactured products from either self-produced or purchased components.

The recovery of waste, i.e. the processing of waste into secondary raw materials is classified in class 3830 (Materials recovery). While this may involve physical or chemical transformations, this is not considered to be a part of manufacturing. The primary purpose of these activities is considered to be the treatment or processing of waste and they are therefore classified in Section E (Water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities). However, the manufacture of new final products (as opposed to secondary raw materials) is classified in manufacturing, even if these processes use waste as an input. For example, the production of silver from film waste is considered to be a manufacturing process.

Specialized maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment is, in general, classified in division 33 (Repair, maintenance and installation of machinery and equipment). However, the repair of computers and personal and household goods is classified in division 95 (Repair of computers and personal and household goods), while the repair of motor vehicles in garage is classified in division 45 (Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles).

The installation of machinery and equipment, when carried out as a specialized activity, is classified in 33200 (Installation of industrial machinery and equipment).

Remark: The boundaries of manufacturing and the other sectors of the classification system can be somewhat blurry. As a general rule, the activities in the manufacturing section involve the transformation of materials into new products. Their output is a new product. However, the definition of what constitutes a new product can be somewhat subjective.

As clarification, the following activities are considered manufacturing in VSIC:

- Milk pasteurizing and bottling, see 10500 (Manufacture of dairy products);

- Fresh fish processing (fish filleting), not done on a fishing boat, see 1020 (Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans and molluscs);

- Printing and related activities, see 181 (Printing and service activities related to printing);

- Manufacture of concrete and ready-mixed concrete production, see 23950 (Manufacture of articles of concrete, cement and plaster);

- Leather converting, see 15110 (Tanning and dressing of leather; dressing and dyeing of fur);

- Rebuilding or remanufacturing of machinery (e.g. automobile engines, see 29100 (Manufacture of motor cars and motor vehicles);

- Tyre retreading, see 22110 (Manufacture of rubber tyres and tubes; retreading and rebuilding of rubber tyres).

Conversely, there are activities that, although sometimes involving transformation processes, are classified in other sections of VSIC; in other words, they are not classified in section C (Manufacturing). They include:

- logging, classified in section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing);

- beneficiating of agricultural products, classified in section A (Agriculture, forestry and fishing);

- beneficiating of ores and other minerals, classified in section B (Mining and quarrying);

- construction of structures and fabricating operations performed at the site of construction, classified in section F (Construction);

- Activities of breaking bulk and redistribution in smaller lots, including packaging, repackaging or bottling of products, such as liquors or chemicals; introduced to customers on the computer, classified into every part, are classified to section G (Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles).

10: MANUFACTURE OF FOOD PRODUCTS

This division includes: the processing of the products of agriculture, forestry and fishing into food for humans or animals.

Some activities are considered manufacturing (for example, those performed in bakeries, pastry shops, and prepared meat shops etc. which sell their own production) even though there is retail sale of the products in the producers’ own shop. However, where the processing is minimal and does not lead to a real transformation, the unit is classified to section G (Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor cars, motorbikes, mopeds and other motor vehicles).

Production of animal feeds from slaughter waste or by-products is classified in 10800 (Manufacture of prepared feeds for livestock, poultry and aquatic animals). Processing food and beverage waste into secondary raw material is classified to 3830 (Materials recovery), and disposal of food and beverage waste in 38210 (Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste).
