What changes in SIC 2026

ONS published UK SIC 2026 in 2026. Its correspondence table maps this code's class (32.50) to:

SIC 2026 code	Heading	Link type
26.60	Manufacture of irradiation, electromedical and electrotherapeutic equipment	1:2
32.50	Manufacture of medical and dental instruments and supplies	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 32500 until it announces a switch.
