Specialised Food Retailing is the tight grouping just above class level. It is where the hierarchy starts to become specific enough for practical classification work.
Why use the group page instead of jumping straight to a class?
The group page helps you compare nearby class options and understand the boundary of the industry family before picking the exact code.
What is the difference between group and class?
