Product classifications are hierarchical structures to find a class for a products or to find the products in a class with certain data properties.
Product classifications have various uses:

- Finding products matching consumer given criteria
In Consumerium parlance basically what Lowest Troll used to call Product Groups.
Nice Classification
Work on the Nice Classification was initiated in 1957, in w:Nice, France, hence the name.
Currently it is managed by WIPO.
NCL appears to be the abbreviation in industry parlance.
EURONICE
EURONICE was a 10+ language Nice compliant database by the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM). In 2016 OHIM was named to EUIPO.
Surely the database didn't go to /dev/null.
