107 CHAPTER TEN INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS
11.0 Introduction Industrial statistics are statistics reflecting the characteristics and all economic activities of units engaged in a class of industrial activities that are defined in terms of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Revision 4 (ISIC, Rev.4). The term “industry” thus refers to a class of ISIC that encompasses all economic activities including agriculture and services-producing activities within an economy and is therefore much broader than the term “industry” as it is popularly understood, which refers sometimes to manufacturing activities alone and sometimes to a more extended list of activities which may also include construction and mining.
The term industry in this publication refers to industrial statistics that are relevant to a limited set of economic activities as described in Industrial Recommendation for Industrial Statistics (IRIS 2008). It covers the four sectors of Mining and Quarrying; Manufacturing; Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning; and Water supply; sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation activities. All the activities classified as industry in the International Standard of Industrial Classification (ISIC Rev. 4) are engaged of non-agricultural commodities. Industrial Statistics involves the collection, compilation, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of the Industrial Statistics.
11.1 Mining and Quarrying It involves the extraction, dressing and beneficiating of minerals occurring naturally as solids such as coal and ores, liquids such as crude petroleum and gases such as natural gas. It includes underground and surface mines, quarries and wells and all supplementary activities for dressing and beneficiating ores and other crude materials such as crushing, screening, washing, cleaning, grading, milling, flotation, melting, pelting, topping and other preparations needed to render the materials marketable. However, it excludes; § Works performed on contract or fee basis in the preparation of mineral properties and sites § Prospecting for minerals (technical Services) § Collection, purification and distribution of water § Bottling of natural spring water § Crushing, grinding or otherwise tearing of certain earth, rocks and minerals not carried out in conjunction with mining and quarrying activities.
108 11.1.1 Building Materials Includes all forms of rock, stones, gravel, sand, clay, soils, volcanic ash or cinder or other minerals being used for the construction of buildings, roads, dams, or similar works but does not include gypsum, limestone being burned for the production of lime, or materials used for the manufacture of cement.
11.1.2 Energy Minerals Means a group of minerals comprising of coal, peat, uranium, thorium and other radioactive minerals. Energy minerals used to produce electricity, fuel for transportation, heating for homes and offices and in the manufacture of plastics.
Gold
11.1.3 Industrial Minerals Means a group of minerals comprising of phosphate, kaolin, lime, gypsum, dolomite, diatomite, pozzollana, salt, beach sands, and other than metallic minerals, normally used in industries.
11.1.4 Metallic Minerals Metallic minerals are minerals that contain metallic elements. They are extracted from mineral deposits, which are concentrations of metallic minerals produced by geological processes. Some metallic minerals contain valuable metals, such as copper, gold, nickel, lead, zinc or platinum.
11.1.5 Gemstones Refers to any other rough and uncut stone which may be declared to be a gemstone by the Minister by notice in the Gazette. It includes Diamonds, emeralds, and other germ varieties of beryl, opal, ruby, topaz, spinel, moonstone and amethyst, other germ varieties of quartz, garnet, zoisite, tanzanite, and scapolite, in rough and uncut form.
109 11.1.6 Holder Means the person in whose name a Mineral Right is registered.
11.1.7 Mine Means any place, excavation or working in or on which any operation connected with mining is carried on together with all buildings, premises, erections and appliances belonging or appertaining to there, above or vertically below the ground within horizontal boundaries of the licence, for the purpose of mining, treating or preparing minerals.
11.2 Manufacturing It means the physical or chemical transformation of materials, substances or components into new products, whether the work is performed by power driven machines or by hand, whether it is done in a factory or in the worker’s home and whether the products are sold at wholesale or retail. Assembling of the component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing except in cases where the activity is appropriately classified in construction.
The assembly and installation also repairing and manufacturing of specialized parts of machinery and equipment in mining, manufacturing, commercial and other establishments, when carried out as a specialized activity, is classified in the same group of manufacturing as the manufacture of the items installed. When the activities are performed as a service incidental to manufacture on trade, they should be classified with the principal activity of the establishment.
Note that: Specialized maintenance and repair of industrial, commercial and similar machinery and equipment is included in manufacturing. However, the repair of computers and personal and household goods and the repair of motor vehicles are not included in manufacturing. As a general rule, the activities in the manufacturing section involve the transformation of materials into new products.
11.2.1 Kind-of-Activity Unit (KAU) A kind-of-activity unit is an enterprise, or a part of an enterprise, which engages in only one kind of (non-ancillary) productive activity or in which the principal productive activity accounts for most of the value-added
11.2.2 Enterprise It is a multi-establishment business entity comprised of all economic activities carried out under a single control. In this case both restrictions on location and type of activity are relaxed.
110
11.2.3 The Enterprise Group An enterprise group consists of all the enterprises under the control of the same owner. When a group of owners has control of more than one enterprise, the enterprises may act in a concerted way and the transactions between them may not be driven by the same concerns as “arm’s length” transactions. The Framework for Direct Investment Relationships can be used to determine which enterprises are under control or influence of the same owner. A multinational enterprise group consists of all the enterprises located in different economies and under the control or influence of the same owner wherever located.
11.2.4 The Homogeneous Unit of Production
The distinguishing feature of a unit of homogeneous production is a unique activity
which is identified by its inputs, a particular process of production and its outputs. The
products which constitute the inputs and outputs are themselves distinguished not only
by their physical characteristics and the extent to which they are processed but also by
the technique of production used: they can be identified by reference to a classification
of products
11.2.5 Statistical units It is defined as the entities about which information is sought and about which statistics are ultimately compiled. These may be identifiable legal or physical entities or statistical constructs.
11.2.6 Establishment As describes in System of Nation Accounts (SNA) the statistical unit of analysis for industrial statistics is the establishment. The establishment is defined as an enterprise or part of an enterprise that is situated in a single location and in which only a single (non-ancillary) productive activity is carried out or in which the principal productive activity accounts for most of the value added.
11.2.7 Activity of the Establishment Is the description of the economic task/activity of an establishment as its registered activity or activity defined in the foundation regulation or document.
11.2.8 Principal Activity/Main Activity
Refers to the main economic activity of an economic entity that contributes most to the
