Industrial production dropped 0.5 percent compared to August, when it recorded a 0.7 percent gain. Expectations were for a 0.1 percent monthly gain.
The agency said that in the September quarter, industrial production dropped 1.4 percent from the preceding three-month period, and logged a similar fall compared to the third quarter of 2012.
In the manufacturing sector, production fell 1.3 percent in August from a year earlier, faster than the 1.1 percent decrease economists had forecast.
