Parts Classification

Class hierarchies, attributes, reuse strategies — eCl@ss, GS1, and the trade-offs of custom taxonomies.

Why this matters

Without classification, reuse is accidental. With the wrong classification, reuse is theoretical.

What this page will cover

  • Class hierarchies and attribute design
  • Standard taxonomies (eCl@ss, GS1, UNSPSC) vs. custom
  • Reuse and standardization patterns
  • Migration from flat to classified part masters
