Literature Classification Service

Technical literature is a large investment and remains one of the key sources of specification information.
The use of in-house libraries remains one of the most favoured sources of technical product information and in the NOP Survey 2004, 81% of specifiers said they use in-house libraries as a source of specification information.

It is crucial therefore that your technical literature is filed correctly within these in-house libraries, ensuring that it is readily available and accessible. This is as important as design and content. Having your technical literature correctly classified is essential in achieving this.

The Classification

Classification label
  • CI/SfB is the classification system most widely used by architectural specifiers. The system has been in operation for more than 30 years and is the industry standard
  • Uniclass is a UK classification system for structuring product literature and project information, incorporating both Common Arrangement of Work Sections (CAWS) and EPIC
  • EPIC is a European-wide classification system and should be included especially if technical literature is to be used on a pan-European basis.

We provide a full classification service to manufacturers of building products and incorporate all three classification systems described above. Once your literature has been received your classification will be faxed back to you together with a recommended style sheet, indicating where and how the classification information should be displayed. This is normally done within the same day, with confirmation following by post.
