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.
