Diese Klassifikation ist von der UN standardisiert und vor allem in den USA etabliert. UNSPSC enthält mehr als
20.000 Warengruppen für Produkte und Services. Der achtstellige Code ist ein Ergebnis aus der Zusammenführung des United Nations' Common Coding System (UNCCS) vom Dun & Bradstreet's Standard Product and Services Codes (SPSC). Das Klassifikationssystem besitzt fünf Hierarchiestufen.
Jede Stufe besteht aus zwei Ziffern und einer Beschreibung.
XX Segment Die logische Zusammenfassung von Familien für analytische Zwecke.
XX Family Eine zusammengehörige Gruppe von ähnlichen Warengruppen
XX Class Eine Zusammenfassung von Warengruppen, die einen gemeinsamen Nutzen oder eine gemeinsame Funktion haben.
XX Commodity Ein Gruppe von austauschbaren Produkten oder Dienstleistungen.
XX Business Function Diese Funktion wird nur von der anwendenden Organisation intern zur Unterstützung der Warengruppe genutzt. (Dieser Teil ist optional. Wir listen ihn nicht in unserer Datenbank.)
Im Folgenden ist die jeweils oberste Ebene (Segments) dargestellt. Die Links führen über die Untergruppen (Families and classes) zu den eigentlichen Produkten und Dienstleistungen (Commodities).
Bedauerlicherweise ist die deutsche Übersetzung oft nur wörtlich (automatisiert) erfolgt, so dass teilweise der Sinn nur schwer zu erfassen ist. Daher sollte in Zweifelsfällen stets das englische Original herangezogen werden.
