Which MSIC edition should I use today?

For current lookup and MyInvois reference, use the live MSIC 2008 catalogue exposed by OpenDOSM. Treat MSIC 2025 as the new official edition to watch for migration and future releases.

Why does the site still treat 2008 as canonical?

Because the current official machine-readable lookup used in this site is the OpenDOSM MSIC 2008 source. The 2025 publication is official, but the code-level lookup still needs a dedicated machine-readable release before it can replace the current canonical source.

Is MSIC 2025 already searchable here?

The 2025 edition is surfaced as an official comparison and reference page, but the live code pages still use the 2008 lookup. That avoids mixing editions without a verified classifiers.

Edition compare

MSIC 2008 is the live lookup. MSIC 2025 is the new official edition to watch.

OpenDOSM currently exposes the MSIC 2008 machine-readable lookup. DOSM has also published MSIC 2025 as the fifth revision, aligned with ISIC Rev. 5.

This page separates the current operational source from the new publication so you can choose the right edition without guessing.

What changes in practice

Different editions, different assumptions

MSIC 2025 is not just a relabelled copy. It is a new revision, so code-level equivalence should not be assumed without a verified mapping.

Live lookup still matters

For filing, browsing and the current compliance context, the 2008 lookup remains the working reference because it is the one exposed through OpenDOSM and the current site.

Best next step

Track the new edition now, but keep the 2008 lookup canonical until a machine-readable 2025 dataset is available and tested here.

Questions About MSIC 2008 and MSIC 2025

Which edition should I use today?

Use MSIC 2008 for the live lookup and current MyInvois context unless the official process you follow explicitly requires the new edition.

Why does this site not merge the editions?

Because they are different revisions. Merging them without a verified classifiers would create false equivalence and reduce trust.

What should I do after reading this page?

Open the tools page to inspect codes, then use the methodology page if you need the source stack and update rules.

Where do I check official updates?

Use DOSM and OpenDOSM directly. This site is an independent reference layer and should be used alongside official sources, not instead of them.
