The Modified Core Classification
with Eurocode 2 revised codes
Prepared by Ian Unwin, Food Information Consultancy
in collaboration with
Anders Møller, Food Informatics, Danish Veterinary and Food Administration
This listing shows the hierarchical structure of the proposed modified core classification for Eurocode 2, including revised codes. Mostly the core classification listing consists of categories down to the second level sub-groups, although a few third-level categories are included to illustrate suggested reorganisations.
Generally the revised codes are compatible with the existing system. A further proposal is that the hierarchy will be managed separately from the codes which allows existing codes to be retained even if they have been moved to a different level in the hierarchy. Thus the listing places some 3-field codes at the second level in the hierarchy. The listing is in code order so that it can be compared to the existing system, but an operational version would be listed logically.
