APPENDIX C The Chemical Processing Industries Any discussion of the chemical industry must make clear how that industry is being defined. Chemistry, chemical pro- cessing, and chemicals are ubiquitous in modern society and industry. In this report, where the term "chemical industry" is used in connection with statistics or economic data, the data refers to the industry segment defined by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 28. Where the term "chemical pro- cessing industries" or "CPI" is used in this report, a broader range of industries is meant. The definition of the CPI adopted by this report is the same one used by Data Resources, Inc., and Chemical Engineering magazine in their reporting on industry. The industry segments and SIC codes subsumed by this definition of the CPI have been supplied to the committee by Chemical Engineering and are reprinted here with permis slon.
