Cooperations

Like eCl @ ss, proficl @ ss cooperates with bau: class , the classification system of f: data GmbH for the construction industry . The aim of this cooperation is to harmonize your own classification with the system for the construction industry and thus avoid the maintenance of multiple, separate classifications in the future. Furthermore, f: data / bau: class and proficl @ ss are actively involved in overarching classifications such as ECl @ ss and ETIM in order to promote the creation of a uniform classification.
