Wiki: Tiêu chuẩn UNSPSC là gì?

Mã sản phẩm và dịch vụ tiêu chuẩn của Liên hợp quốc (UNSPSC - The United Nations Standard Products and Services Code) là phân loại các sản phẩm và dịch vụ để sử dụng trong Thương mại điện tử. Nó là một hệ thống phân cấp bốn cấp được mã hóa dưới dạng một số có tám chữ số, với cấp thứ năm tùy chọn thêm hai chữ số nữa.

The United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) is a taxonomy of products and services for use in eCommerce. It is a four-level hierarchy coded as an eight-digit number, with an optional fifth level adding two more digits.

Version 16, released in 2014, contained over 50,000 commodities. The latest release of the code set is 19.0501 (as of July 2016).
The UNSPSC competes with a number of other product and commodity coding schemes, including the European Union's Common Procurement Vocabulary, Germany's Eclass, and GS1's Global Product Classification.
 

History

The UNSPSC was created upon the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding signed on September 29, 1998 by John S. Svendsen, the director of the Inter-agency Procurement Services Office (IAPSO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and on November 1, 1998 by Lawrence M. Barth, a Vice President of the Dun & Bradstreet Corporation. The development of the first version was overseen by Peter R. Benson, who was also responsible for the design and development of the code management procedure as a modification of the Delphi statistical forecasting method. The process allowed for the rapid development of consensus without dominance or influence.

The ECCMA, a non-profit membership association, was formed in 1999 to manage and promote the UNSPSC until March 2003, with the release of version 6.0315. The UNDP then appointed GS1 US as code manager in May 2003 and ECCMA develops the ECCMA Open Technical Dictionary (eOTD) and the international standards ISO 22745 and ISO 8000.
 

Description

The four primary levels of the code are: Segment, Family, Class and Commodity.

Each level is coded in two decimal digits, with '00' treated specially to give segments, families and classes their own eight-digit codes.
 

Level	Code	Description
Segment	10000000	Live Plant and Animal Material and Accessories and Supplies
Family	10100000	Live animals
Class	10101500	Livestock
Commodity	10101501	Cats

Thus 'Cats' are coded as 10101501, 'Dogs' are coded as 10101502 and 'Cattle' as 10101516. The class of 'Livestock' is 10101500; the family of 'Live animals' is 10100000, and all in the segment 10000000 of 'Live Plant and Animal Material and Accessories and Supplies'.
 

Level	Code	Description
Segment	44000000	Office Equipment, Accessories and Supplies
Family	44120000	Office supplies
Class	44121900	Ink and lead refills
Commodity	44121903	Pen refills

Optionally, a further two digits can be added for the business function, such as 'retail' or wholesale.
 

Governance

The UNSPSC was jointly developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Dun & Bradstreet[5] in 1998 and is currently managed by GS1 US, which is responsible for overseeing code change requests, revising the codes and issuing regularly scheduled updates to the code, as well as managing special projects and initiatives.
