The need of a standard classification of energy dates back:
• In 1976 and again in 1987 the UN Statistical
Commission called for the preparation of an
international classification of energy as part of the
development of a global system of integrated energy
statistics
• The development of SIEC has an integral part of
IRES from the beginning
At 3rd OG meeting a first attempt to define the scope,
purpose, categories of SIEC was discussed. SIEC to be
based on the harmonized definitions from InterEnerStat

Sept. 09 – The Expert Group (EG) on Classification was
informed on the development of SIEC during its meeting in
NY. The EG:
• Supported the development of such a classification
• Requested a more in-depth explanation on purpose, scope
and boundary of the classification, a developed explanation
of the classification structure and the reasoning behind.
• As an example, the EG suggested descriptions on the scope
of aggregate levels and detailed descriptions of inclusions
and exclusions.
Nov 09 – 2nd Virtual meeting. Chapter 3 was revised trying to
incorporate the comments from the OG and EG meetings.

Dec 09 – harmonized definitions from InterEnerStat were
circulated
Jan 10 – current Chapter 3 contains:
• an attempt to define the scope of SIEC in such a way
that it covers the products defined in InterEnerStat
• an attempt to define boundary cased, classification
criteria and coding system
• a proposal for a classification structure based on the
definition of InterEnerStat taking into account
principles of a standard statistical classifications
• definitions from InterEnerstat
• a correspondence of SIEC categories with CPC Ver.
