Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 926150 covers government establishments regulating, licensing, and inspecting commercial sectors broadly, including retail, professional occupations, manufacturing, mining, construction, and services. It encompasses alcoholic beverage control, building inspections, business licensing, and insurance and securities commissions. This code differs from regulation of specific sectors: establishments regulating transportation programs are classified separately, as are those administering communications, electric, gas, and utility regulation; agricultural commodity regulation belongs in a distinct category; and general economic program administration is classified elsewhere.
