Preface
The Central Product Classification (CPC) constitutes a complete product classification covering goods and services. It was intended to serve as an international standard for assembling and tabulating all kinds of data requiring product detail including industrial production, national accounts, service industries, domestic and foreign commodity trade, international trade in services, balance of payments, consumption and price statistics. Other basic aims were to provide a framework for international comparison and promote harmonization of various types of statistics dealing with goods and services.
The first version of the Central Product Classification (CPC), the Provisional Central Product Classification was published in 1990. This version was superseded by the Central Product Classification Version 1.0, published in 1998. Then, particular attention was paid to the elaboration of the services part of the classification. This newly revised Central Product Classification (CPC) Version 1.1 represents a further update to the CPC. The development of this new version is intended to incorporate modifications due to recent changes in economies worldwide and sustained technological advancement in the period since the development of CPC Version 1.0. The continual revision of this classification is evidence of the commitment to systematize the improvement of the classification over time, keeping it current and making it more responsive to existing economic and technological reality, while maintaining conceptual consistency.
The primary purpose of the CPC Version 1.1 is to classify the goods and services that are the result of production in any economy. This production is accounted for in the national accounts of countries and can be measured and analyzed using the 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA). CPC Version 1.1 is useful in studying transactions in goods and services in detail. It can also be used as a basis for developing lists of goods and services for specific purposes, such as price statistics surveys, etc, its primary advantage being that it has met the criteria for serving as an international standard. It has broad acceptance and can facilitate the maintenance of constant categories of products, both with regard to character and definition. It can therefore serve as a framework for international comparison.
