Frequently asked questions

Why was my SSIC code automatically changed from 47420 to 47535?

Singapore's national industrial classification was updated from SSIC 2020 to SSIC 2025, effective 9 May 2026. ACRA's BizFile+ system automatically mapped every existing entity to its closest SSIC 2025 equivalent using the official SingStat correspondence table. The code SSIC 47420 (Retail sale of audio and video equipment) was reclassified to SSIC 47535 (Retail sale of household electrical appliances and equipment) under that mapping.

Do I need to take any action?

Usually no. If your business activity is unchanged, the new code accurately reflects it under SSIC 2025 and no manual update is needed. You should only update if (a) the auto-mapped code doesn't match what you actually do, (b) your activity has changed independently, or (c) you claim a sector-specific licence or grant tied to the old code.

How many Singapore companies were affected by this specific recode?

Based on the change log we've maintained since the 9 May 2026 cutover, 500 companies have been reclassified from SSIC 47420 to SSIC 47535. Of those, 301 had it as their primary SSIC code and 199 as a secondary code.

What's the difference between SSIC 47420 and SSIC 47535?

SSIC 47420 was titled "Retail sale of audio and video equipment". Under SSIC 2025, the equivalent activity sits at SSIC 47535 ("Retail sale of household electrical appliances and equipment"). The two cover the same underlying activity per SingStat's official correspondence table; the SSIC 2025 title and number reflect the updated classification.
