ETIM
ETIM is a classification standard for structured descriptions of technical products – it is of particular relevance to the electrical engineering and HVAC industries. The normed attributes facilitate comparison and digital processing. PIM systems that support ETIM enable you to smoothly provide product data for platforms, retailers, and biddings in conformity with the relevant industry standards.
ETIM: The Standard that Makes Technical Data Interconnectable
The ETIM classification functions according to a clear principle: Products are assigned to classes, each bearing a pre-defined set of technical attributes and exact corresponding values. The result is an internationally intelligible and machine-readable language for technical products – from electrical installations, through HVAC, to tools and construction materials. This structured description allows manufacturers and retail partners to identify products efficiently, compare them, and integrate them into their digital processes – for example, in biddings, BIM applications, or e-commerce systems.
