Frequently asked questions

Why was my SSIC code automatically changed from 47536 to 47650?

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 47536 (Retail sale of security and safety equipment) was reclassified to SSIC 47650 (Retail sale of musical instruments and scores) 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, 452 companies have been reclassified from SSIC 47536 to SSIC 47650. Of those, 167 had it as their primary SSIC code and 285 as a secondary code.

What's the difference between SSIC 47536 and SSIC 47650?

SSIC 47536 was titled "Retail sale of security and safety equipment". Under SSIC 2025, the equivalent activity sits at SSIC 47650 ("Retail sale of musical instruments and scores"). The two cover the same underlying activity per SingStat's official correspondence table; the SSIC 2025 title and number reflect the updated classification.
