  • *ECLASS differentiates between standard sets of properties (SSP) and basic sets of properties (BSP). SSP are individually developed for specific classes. The BSP (one for each segment) is automatically assigned to every single ECLASS class, i.e. each ECLASS class has at least the BSP. The segments’ BSPs are listed HERE. The entries in the field "mkbsa" have the following meaning:
    • No entry = The property contains only the basic set of properties (BSP), see HERE
    • 2 = The property contains a standard set of properties, i.e. the BSP plus specific properties for the product class

eClassA_B_PR_VA_xy.csv (Relations eClassA_B_PR_xy/ eClassA_B_VA_xy)

No. Attribute Name Description Length
1 IrdiPR Primary key of the target property; globally unique International Registration Data Identifier (Supplier+TypeOfSE+Identifier+VersionNumber) CHAR(20)
2 IrdiVA Primary key of the assigned value; globally unique International Registration Data Identifier (Supplier+TypeOfSE+Identifier+VersionNumber) CHAR(20)

Note:

ECLASS interpretes its value lists as open, i.e. as suggestions that cannot guarantee exhaustiveness. As the ISO defines value lists as restrictive and exclusive, i.e. only those values of a value list are valid for a property and no others, ECLASS had to change its structure to be ISO-compliant. Therefore ECLASS distinguishes now between restrictive value lists (in the ISO-sense, see HERE) that include only BOOLEAN property-value-relations and suggested lists (proposed "open" lists that are neither exclusive nor exhaustive and only in the context of a class, see HERE).

eClassA_B_CC_PR_VA_suggested_incl_constraint_xy.csv (Relations eClassA_B_CC_xy / eClassA_B_PR_xy / eClassA_B_VA_xy)

No. Attribute Name Description Length
1 IrdiCC Primary key of the target class; globally unique International Registration Data Identifier (Supplier+TypeOfSE+Identifier+VersionNumber) CHAR(20)
2 IrdiPR Primary key of the target property; globally unique International Registration Data Identifier (Supplier+TypeOfSE+Identifier+VersionNumber) CHAR(20)
3 IrdiVA Primary key of the assigned value; globally unique International Registration Data Identifier (Supplier+TypeOfSE+Identifier+VersionNumber) CHAR(20)
4 Constraint [true;false] CHAR(5)

Note:

With release 9.0 ECLASS introduces constraints, i.e. the limitation of a set of values of a property in the context of a class. E.g. a property “colour” might have the value list [red;yellow;green]. For a class “traffic light” all colours are valid, but for class “pedestrian traffic light” only [red;green] might be valid, i.e. a constraint is created for the value “yellow”. Therefore all values (except restricted values, see 3.1.5) are to be seen in the context of a class.

Note:

ECLASS does not use special characters such as <;> or <">, which are interpreted by some systems as a control or separation character. The unit 0173-1#07-AAA683#002 "angular_second" however, is abbreviated as <">, which is both the DIN and the SI notation of this unit. ECLASS points out that the interpretation of this table might result in difficulties at this point.
