What is ETIM?

ETIM is an international classification standard for the unambiguous specification and categorisation of technical product data.

ETIM has been adopted by the electrical and construction industries to help businesses to aid supply chains and digital trading. By using an internationally accepted product classification model, companies dealing with product data for sectors such as HVAC, plumbing, building and sanitary are able to all talk the same language and trade more effectively online. Benefits include increased efficiency, revenue uplift and rapidly getting new products to market.
