What changes in SIC 2026

ONS published UK SIC 2026 in 2026. Its correspondence table maps this code's class (28.99) to:

SIC 2026 code	Heading	Link type
28.97	Manufacture of additive manufacturing machinery	1:2
28.99	Manufacture of other special-purpose machinery n.e.c.	1:2

"1:1" means the class carries over unchanged in scope; other link types mean it was split or merged. Companies House still uses SIC 2007, so keep filing with 28990 until it announces a switch.
