Frequently asked questions

Why was my SSIC code automatically changed from 88911 to 85100?
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 88911 (Infant care services; child minding services for pre-school children) was reclassified to SSIC 85100 (Pre-primary education; child care with pre-primary education services) 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, 1,009 companies have been reclassified from SSIC 88911 to SSIC 85100. Of those, 961 had it as their primary SSIC code and 48 as a secondary code.
What's the difference between SSIC 88911 and SSIC 85100?
SSIC 88911 was titled "Infant care services; child minding services for pre-school children". Under SSIC 2025, the equivalent activity sits at SSIC 85100 ("Pre-primary education; child care with pre-primary education services"). The two cover the same underlying activity per SingStat's official correspondence table; the SSIC 2025 title and number reflect the updated classification.
Where can I look up other SSIC 2020 to 2025 mappings?
