Type of Entry

A ruling denotes a change to the official text describing a classification. It generally begins as an open query regarding assignment of the correct classification code using the existing tools such as explanatory notes, indexes or correspondence tables; or as a proposal. Changes to explanatory notes, even without change to the boundaries of the classification, are included here.
Assignment of a correct classification code within the existing boundaries of a classification using the existing tools such as explanatory notes, indexes or correspondence tables.
Specific Suggestion made for a re-specification of the dividing lines in a classification. An accepted proposal may be recorded as a Ruling or Correction.
Errors made in the construction of a classification, the explanatory definitions of its categories and the associated coding tools. E.g. an obvious mistake in spelling, references, etc.
This category covers entries that are not easily placed in other categories. This could include remarks on certain applications, reports on uses of classifications or outcomes of independent discussions or meetings. They may not have an immediate impact on the classification in question, but are recorded for future use.
Entries in this category provide information on developments in classifications work without carrying the character of a proposal or decision. This could include status reports on work progress etc.
Agreement reached arising out of Expert Group or Technical Subgroup Meetings concerning specific action/s to be undertaken regarding the classifications, e.g. Agreement on how to publish the information sector in ISIC.

UNSD Classifications Registry

The UNSD Classifications Registry is a live repository on updates on classifications that mainly arise from users' inquiries. It contains, for example, clarifications of the assignment of classification codes, or corrections of possible errors in the classification, etc.
The entries in the UN Classification Registry are the results of a consultation with experts to give the authoritative answer. The entries are searchable either by its ID, the classification in question, keyword, or date of last update.
