What is eClass Classification?

What does eClass Classification mean?

eClass Classification is an international standard used to categorise products and services in a structured and consistent way. Similar to UNSPSC Codes, eClass provides a hierarchical coding system that supports procurement, engineering, and maintenance processes across industries.

By applying eClass, organisations can ensure that spare parts, materials, and services are described and recorded in the same format, reducing errors and improving interoperability between systems.

Why eClass Classification matters

Standardisation – harmonises spare parts and Material Master data across ERP and CMMS systems.
Procurement efficiency – enables more effective MRO Procurement by categorising products consistently.
Data quality – supports Data Standardisation and improves reporting accuracy.
Interoperability – allows seamless data exchange between suppliers, operators, and contractors.
Compliance – aligns with global data governance and industry frameworks.
