ECLASS is a cross-industry standard used for the consistent classification and description of products and services. It supports standardized data exchange across various sectors such as industrial manufacturing, commerce, and logistics.

Key Features

Hierarchical classification structure
Standardized properties, values, and units
Compliant with international norms (e.g., ISO/IEC)
Widely used in ERP, PIM, and e-commerce systems

Common Use Cases

Supply Chain Integration: Enhances interoperability between manufacturers and suppliers
Digital Product Catalogs: Enables consistent structure for product information
Procurement & Logistics: Streamlines purchasing and inventory processes

How to Import ECLASS Data

Follow these steps to import ECLASS data into your system.

1. Prepare the Data

Use a .zip archive containing the required CSV files:
Groups, ValueLists, ValueListItems, and Attributes
Ensure all files conform to the required format specifications
Example structure:

eclass-data.zip
├── Groups.csv
├── ValueLists.csv
├── ValueListItems.csv
└── Attributes.csv

2. Check Classification

For ECLASS version 12, use ECLASS12 as the classification code
Format: ECLASS<version> (e.g., ECLASS10, ECLASS15)

3. Import via Demo Channels

Use the Demo Channels to upload and import your .zip archive

Import Channels

By default, the system uses:
- Classification: ECLASS12
- Language: de-DE
You can override these settings, for example:

{
  "Classification": "ECLASS15",
  "Language": "en-US"
}

The Channels will automatically parse and process the CSVs

4. Insert Unit of Measures

Relevant SQL scripts are located at: ./pxm/import/ECLASS

Run scripts in query tool.

Option A: Empty Database

-- Insert basic UnitOfMeasures
insert_unit_of_measure.sql

-- Insert UnitOfMeasure descriptions
insert_unit_of_measure_desc.sql

Option B: Demo Data Present

-- Insert with demo values
insert_unit_of_measure_with_demo_data.sql

-- Descriptions with demo values
insert_unit_of_measure_desc_with_demo_data.sql

Afterwards:

🔄 Go to Settings → Data Storages and click Reload cache

5. Verify Import

Check that all entities are correctly imported:
- Classification Groups
- Attributes
- ValueLists & ValueListItems
- UnitOfMeasures and their descriptions
Ensure correct linkage between imported data sets
