Product and service classifications are hierarchical structures to find a class for a product or service or to find the products in a class with certain data properties.

Product classifications have various uses:
- Finding unique trade marks within a product class in order to avoid conflicts in the future from same business or product name within the same class so that there is risk of confusion by consumer or procurer.
- 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.
UNSPSC
“The United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) is a taxonomy of products and services for use in eCommerce. It is a four-level hierarchy coded as an eight-digit number, with an optional fifth level adding two more digits.”
