Uniclass2 Proposed Tables
This is an archive version of an article from the CPIc website, which was closed in 2025. CPIc (the Construction Project Information Committee) was formed from representatives of the major industry institutions and was responsible for providing best practice guidance on the content, form and preparation of construction production information. |
Proposed tables and designations
Following feedback the proposal to number the tables has been revised and the tables will now use alpha characters for naming. The name of the facilities table is being changed to Complexes. The new proposal for table designations is as follows.
- Ac – Activities
- Co – Complexes
- Ee – Elements
- En – Entities
- EF – Entities by Form
- PP – Project Phases
- Pr – Products
- Sp – Spaces
- Ss – Systems
- WR – Work Results
- Zz – CAD
In general, the following mappings hold between Uniclass2 and the previous Uniclass:
- Ac – Activities is new to both ISO 12006-2 and to Uniclass
- Co – Complexes will replace parts of table D (Facilities)
- Ee – Elements will replace table G (Elements)
- EF – Entities by Form will replace parts of table D (Facilities)
- En – Entities will replace parts of table D (Facilities)
- PP – Project Phases is new to both ISO 12006-2 and to Uniclass
- Pr – Products will replace table L (Construction Products)
- Sp – Spaces will replace parts of table D (Facilities)
- Ss – Systems is new to both ISO 12006-2 and to Uniclass
- WR – Work Results will replace table J (Work sections for buildings) and table K (Work sections for civil engineering works)
- Zz – CAD is new to both ISO 12006-2 and to Uniclass
The classification for the architectural and building services sections are the most advanced of these and we will be working with the rail industry, highways authority and the ICE to develop the details for infrastructure and civil engineering projects.
Further tables will be added as they become available.
