Chapter 3 Classifications
This chapter will provide details on the relevant
classifications for energy statistics, such as the
Standard International Energy Product Classification
(SIEC), the classification of economic activities for
energy statistics used for energy industries and
energy consumers (based on the International
Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC)), and the
classification of energy resources.
Specific issues in linking these classifications with
other international classifications, such as the
Central Product Classification (CPC) and the
Harmonized System (HS), and the use of existing
correspondence tables will be discussed.
Main Objectives
• Practical guidance in the use of the
classifications presented in IRES
• Country examples with focus on
classification and classification issues

A. Introduction
• To briefly describe the importance of
classifications
• To introduce the objectives of the chapter
• To briefly present the content of the
chapter
B. Classification of statistical
units
This section is intended to cover:
• the choice of the statistical unit
(establishment vs enterprise) plus
country examples
• Identification of the ‘Energy industries’
within the classification of economic
activities plus country examples
• Identification of ‘other energy producers’
plus country examples
• Identification of the ‘energy consumers’
plus country examples
C. Classification of energy products
This section is intended to cover:
• the use of SIEC for the
collection/compilation of energy statistics
plus country practices
• Describe the importance of better
linkages between SIEC, CPC and HS
• Describe the current issues in the
correspondence between these
classifications and how countries are
dealing with these issues plus country
practices
D. Classification of energy uses
This section is intended to:
• describe the taxonomy of energy uses
Transformation
Final consumption
final energy consumption
of which transport
non-energy use
• Provide examples of country practices
E. Classification of mineral and
energy resources
This section is intended to cover the
classification of mineral and energy
resources as presented/developed in the
SEEA-Energy
Country examples
Some points for discussion
Do you agree with the overall structure and
draft content?
Currently the classification relevant to
electricity and heat plants and production
needs to be included
Are there additional topics that should be
included?
Are there suggestions for country examples
to include and where?
Specific comments to the questions posed in
the draft chapter?
Thank you!
