Purpose of the Classification
Statistical Domains:
2.4.3 Mining, manufacturing, construction
Purpose:
The Classification of Types of Constructions (CC) has been developed on the basis of the provisional Central Product Classification (CPC) published in 1991 by the United Nations. CC is designed to serve different purposes such as statistics on construction activities, construction reports, building and housing censuses and price statistics on construction work and national accounts. In addition, CC is to be used for the definition of constructions which will be needed for the provision of information on specific variables (e.g. building permits, production) concerning short term indicators. Also, CC is designed to be used for the whole life of a construction: changes in use, transactions, renovations, demolition. Finally, CC could be used as classification standard for the procurement and tenders on public works contracts initiated by the Commission.

Methodology
Scope:
Buildings and Civil engineering works
Concept Being Classified:
census
Statistical Units:
individual construction (building, road, pipeline
Main Principles:
In this classification, constructions are subdivided into 'Buildings' and 'Civil engineering works'. Within these sections CC differentiates primarily according to the technical design which results from the special use of the structure (e.g. commercial buildings, road structures, waterworks, pipelines) and, in particular for buildings, according to the main use (e.g. residential, non-residential). The site of a construction, its ownership and the institution to which it belongs are normally irrelevant criteria for this classification and have not been taken into account, except in a few cases.
Civil engineering works are classified mainly according to the engineering design which is determined by the purpose of the structure.

Major Differences (Scope, Structure, and Concepts):
Scope of CPC is much larger, CC only covers 'Buildings' and 'Civil engineering works'
Compared with the CPC-structure the CC-version of 'Buildings' has been subdivided more detailed and includes a considerable number of additional items.
