Classification (ECLASS and ETIM)

In short

Every part gets an identity and a standard classification, so it can be compared, substituted and matched to a shop’s assortment.

Identity first

Electronic components are identified by manufacturer and MPN; installation products usually by GTIN or a supplier code. Classification is an attribute, never the key.

Standards

Standard

Used for

ECLASS

Electronic components and modules

ETIM

Installation and wholesale products

UNSPSC

Procurement and spend reporting

Confidence and review

Each classification has a confidence score. Low-confidence lines go to a review list in the BOM; you can confirm or correct them.

Tip

Owned parts and custom parts (your PCB, printed parts) are marked as such instead of being classified.
