ECLASS
ECLASS is an international standard for both the classification and description of products and services. It enables the consistent communication of technical attributes even beyond corporate boarders – regardless of language, system, or sector. In particular, ECLASS is of relevance to industry, machine engineering and electrical engineering, construction, as well as retail, i.e. where precise and well-structured product information is decisive. Companies profit from efficient data exchange, reduced error rates, and improved integration of digital processes.
ECLASS: Standardization as a Competitive Advantage
ECLASS is an internationally recognized, ISO-normed classification system with more than 45,000 product classes and 19,000 properties for clearly identifying and describing products worldwide – the language of “industry 4.0.” This classification does not only improve the search but also the smooth data exchange with customers and partners, across all platforms. Companies that utilize ECLASS profit from higher data quality, less errors, and increased efficiency in international business processes.
