What is ETIM?

ETIM stands for ETIM Technical Information Model. The ETIM product classification is an international logical standard for an unambiguous classification of (technical) products in different classes, whereby the associated product properties can be recorded within the class. This is possible for characteristics, units and limit values ​​that are described in a language-independent way. Each class description has several synonyms that can be searched for. This makes finding the right product much easier for users.

Product classification prevents confusion and mistakes and makes it possible to identify the products in a standard way and to exchange the technical and trade data electronically between various parties. ETIM is the standard classification model for the installation, construction, maritime and tools sector.

The ETIM classification is now applied in the following countries:

  • Canada
  • Finland
  • Mexico
  • Austria
  • Slovakia
  • Denmark
  • France
  • The Netherlands
  • Poland
  • Spain
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • North America
  • Portugal
  • Sweden
  • England
  • Lithuania
  • Norway
  • Slovenia
  • Switzerland

The main advantages:

  • Increase in data quality, because data is recorded in a uniform way
  • Fewer erroneous orders, minimizing failure costs
  • More efficient communication, because everyone is always talking about the same data
  • Avoid duplication of work, because data is only entered once
  • Medium and manufacturer neutral, making data interchangeable without any problems
  • Classified products are immediately available in multiple languages
