Frequently asked questions
About this specific SSIC code and the Construction & Real Estate sector
What environmental impact obligations apply?
Construction sites must comply with NEA regulations on noise, dust, and waste management. Environmental impact assessments may be required for large-scale projects.
Do I need BCA registration or licensing?
Builders, specialist contractors, and construction-related firms must register with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) under the BCA Contractors Registry System or relevant licensing scheme.
What workplace safety requirements apply?
The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act requires risk assessments, safety management systems, and specific permits for high-risk construction work. MOM enforces compliance.
Are there minimum financial requirements?
BCA registration grades (A1 to C3) have minimum paid-up capital and net worth requirements. Higher-value projects require a higher registration grade.
What is SSIC and why does it matter?
The Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) is the national system for categorising business activities. It is mandatory at ACRA registration and is used by IRAS, MOM, and other government agencies for tax, licensing, statistical, and policy purposes.
Do I need to register with this SSIC code?
Every business entity registered with ACRA must select at least one SSIC code that best describes its principal economic activity. You can declare up to two codes — one primary and one secondary — via BizFile+.
What international standard does SSIC map to?
SSIC 2025 is aligned with the UN International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) Rev. 5. Each SSIC code maps to one or more ISIC Rev. 5 classes, making Singapore business data internationally comparable.
Can I hold more than one SSIC code at the same time?
Yes. ACRA allows one primary SSIC code and one secondary SSIC code per registered entity. If your business spans multiple distinct activities, choose the code that generates the highest share of revenue as primary.
How do I change my registered SSIC code?
You can update your SSIC code through BizFile+ by filing a "Change in Business Activity" transaction. Changes take effect upon ACRA approval. IRAS and other agencies should also be notified if the change affects tax classification.
