CPC is a classification of products, based on the physical characteristics of goods or on the nature of the services rendered. CPC provides a framework for international comparison of the various kinds of statistics dealing with goods, services and assets. It covers categories for all products (goods and services) which can be subjects of domestic and international transactions or which can be put into stocks. CPC covers products which are an output of economic activities, including transportable and non-transportable goods and services, and land and intangible assets which arise from legal and accounting actions such as patents, licenses, trademarks and copyrights. CPC also includes a major part of tangible assets, namely all constructions and civil engineering works.
Relationships with other statistical classifications; - Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) of the World Customs Organization (1996 edition): CPC uses the headings and subheadings of the HS as building blocks in Sections 0-4 where each CPC subclass is an aggregate of one or more headings or subheadings of the HS.
- International Standard Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC): Each subclass of CPC consists of goods and services that are predominantly produced in one specific class or classes of ISIC Revision 3.
- Standard International Trade Classification (SITC): All of its five-digit codes are equal to or an exact part of a single subclass of CPC Sections 0-4.
- System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA 1993): SNA uses CPC to study transactions of goods and services in detail.
CPC follows the following hierarchical structure; 'Sections' (10) - one-digit code, 'Divisions' (71) - 2-digit codes, 'Groups' (294) - 3-digit codes, 'Classes' (1,162) - 4-digit codes and 'Subclasses' (2,093) - 5-digit codes.
