The ISIC Rev.4 class 2395 covers enterprises that produce concrete, cement and plaster products such as bricks, tiles, blocks, pipes, prefabricated panels and other building components. Activities include mixing, shaping, curing and finishing these materials for construction and infrastructure use.

This section includes the activity of providing electric power, natural gas, steam, hot water and the like through a permanent infrastructure (network) of lines, mains and pipes. The dimension of the network is not decisive; also included are the distribution of electricity, gas, steam, hot water and the like in industrial parks or residential buildings. This section therefore includes the operation of electric and gas utilities, which generate, control and distribute electric power or gas. This section excludes the operation of water and sewerage utilities, see 36, 37. This section also excludes the (typically long-distance) transport of gas through pipelines.

The ISIC Rev.4 class 3510 covers establishments that generate electricity from sources such as fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro, wind or solar, operate transmission systems that move bulk power over long distances, and distribute electricity to residential, commercial and industrial customers, including associated auxiliary services. This classification excludes electricity retailing that does not involve distribution infrastructure.

The Information Media and Telecommunications Division includes units mainly engaged in: - creating, enhancing and storing information products in media that allows for their dissemination; - transmitting information products using analogue and digital signals (via electronic, wireless, optical and other means); - and providing transmission services and/or operating the infrastructure to enable the transmission and storage of information and information products. Information products are defined as those which are not necessarily tangible, and, unlike traditional goods, are not associated with a particular form. The value of the information products is embedded in their content rather than in the format in which they are distributed. For example, a movie can be screened at a cinema, telecast on television or copied to video for sale or rental. The division includes some activities that primarily create, enhance and disseminate information products, subject to copyright. It is the intangible nature of the information products which determines their unique dissemination process, which may include via a broadcast, electronic means, or physical form. They do not usually require direct contact between the supplier/producer and the consumer, which distinguishes them from distribution activities included in the Wholesale Trade and Retail Trade Divisions. Excluded from the division are units mainly engaged in: - the mass storage or duplication of information products such as printing newspapers, CDs, DVDs, etc. (Manufacturing Division); - purchasing and on-selling information products in their tangible form (Wholesale Trade and Retail Trade Divisions); - providing specialised computer services such as programming and systems design services, graphic design services and advertising services, as well as gathering, tabulating and presenting marketing and opinion data (Professional, Scientific and Technical Services Division); - providing a range of creative artistic activities such as the creation of an artistic original (e.g. a painting), or the provision of a live musical performance by a group or artist (Arts and Recreation Services Division); and units undertaking a range of activities such as directing, acting, writing and performing (Arts and Recreation Services Division).
