3. Purpose of the CPC  CPC has three functions: Serve as a “central” classification of products  Requires links to other product classifications, such as HS, SITC, BOP, EBOPS Provide classification of all outputs of economic activities (production), as defined in the SNA Provide definitions of services (reference classification) Scope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules StructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules

4. Scope and boundary  CPC covers “products”, i.e. the output of economic activities  Market value not a criterion: By-products and waste are also included These are output of economic activities  Produced assets included as output of a production process.

5. Scope and boundary (cont.)  SNA refers to products as “goods and services”  However: there are outputs of economic activities, i.e. “products”, that do not fit the SNA definition of goods or services GoodsServices physical objects demand exist ownership can be established and transferred production and sale are separable activities Not separate entities for which ownership can be established Produced by order Changes the condition of the consuming units when production is completed, the product has already been delivered Scope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules StructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules

6.  Other outcomes from economic activities: Original manuscripts, sound and video recordings Results of research activities Results from geological surveying activities Product design specifications Trademarks and franchises  Neither “goods” nor “services”  Still considered products, and covered in CPC Ver.2  These are intellectual property (IP) products and similar products Scope and boundary (cont.)

8. CPC Ver.2 - structure  Options for overall structure of the CPC: Group products based on industry of origin  e.g. ISIC based Group products based on demand  e.g. COICOP based Group products by their characteristics  used currently in CPC  CPC Ver.2 uses the last approach Products grouped according to characteristics Groupings often follow industries, but not as a rule Product groups often consider analytical use Scope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules StructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules

14.  Involved sections: Section 0 – agriculture, forestry and fishery products Section 2 – food products, beverages and tobacco; textiles, apparel and leather products  A major complaint by majority of countries (esp. developing countries): Insufficient detail for agricultural products Scope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules StructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules Changes for agriculture and food products

15. Changes for agriculture and food products – relationship with HS  Goods in CPC used to be defined in terms of aggregation of HS classes. Imposed a limitation on the level of detail possible  Unprocessed agricultural products are not heavily traded internationally. Therefore, HS does not provide much detail in these products.  For CPC Ver.2, the FAO was consulted to advice on necessary detail.  CPC Ver.2 more detailed than HS when it comes to agricultural and food products.

(radioactive materials, oil, etc.) Collection process specifically set up to ensure materials are recycled? (paper, etc.) If no special procedures are used, the waste collection is “other”.

26. Important new concept: ORIGINALS  As we saw earlier, intellectual property (IP) products are output of economic activities and within scope of CPC. research results product design sound/video recordings trademarks/franchises computer software  Value lies in information content, not physical form  In the CPC, we talk about originals and content Scope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules StructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules

27. Important new concept: ORIGINALS  Originals are outcomes of intellectual or creative activities (before copying or distribution). Value lie in information content. When intellectual/creative activity carried out on own account: the original is considered the output of that activity. However, when carried out for someone else (“fee/contract basis”), the output of the activity is considered a service.  The original, in this case, is considered output of the client.  Originals are not services  Originals are not copies There is by definition never produced more than one original. Copying an original is an act of production. A new product (the copy) is being made. The copies are not originals, but they are often content products (as identified in the alternative aggregation).

28. Classification of intellectual property products  Originals are neither goods nor services are classified in part 5-9 of the CPC (i.e., the “services” part), close to the services with whom they are related  e.g. research and development originals found in division 81 – “Research and development services”  Content Can be presented on physical media (disks, books, etc.), in which case the products are classified in CPC part 0-4 as tradeable goods. Can be provided in a non-physical way over the internet, in which case the products are found in group 843 – “On- line content” Scope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules StructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rulesScope and boundaryStructureChanges and new conceptsApplication rules

If still ambiguous, choose category occurring last in numerical order  Products making up a bundle of goods and services are classified to main component (according to value added). But breaking up product into homogeneous components should be considered first
