ECLASS
ECLASS (formerly styled as eCl@ss) is a data standard for the classification of products and services using standardized ISO-compliant properties. The ECLASS Standard enables the digital exchange of product master data across industries, countries, languages, and organizations. It is widely used as a standardized basis for product group structures or with product-describing characteristics of master data, particularly in ERP systems. In connection with the Digital Product Passport (DPP), information can be displayed within an Asset Administration Shell (AAS) using ECLASS structural elements, such as “Environmental Footprint,” “General Battery and Manufacturer Information,” or “Circularity and Resource Efficiency.” As the only ISO-compliant and globally recognized feature-based classification standard, ECLASS serves as the “language” for Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT).
