United Nations Committee of Experts on International Statistical Classifications

The United Nations Committee of Experts on International Statistical Classifications (UNCEISC) is the central coordination body for the work on international statistical classifications that are the responsibility of the Statistics Division, and for the coordination and review of other international statistical classifications that are the responsibility of other international organizations and that have been proposed for adoption by the Statistical Commission.

The UNCEISC was established by the Statistical Commission (E/2021/24-E/CN.3/2021/30, Decision 52/113) in March 2021. It was previously known as the Expert Group on International Statistical Classifications.

The Expert Group has the following active Task Teams (previously known as Technical Subgroups): the Standing Task Team on ISIC and CPC, the Task Team on Best Practice and the International Family of Classifications, the Task Team on SIEC (TT-SIEC), and the Task Team on the Revision of the Classification of the Functions of Government (TT-COFOG).

The following Task Teams and Technical Subgroups are no longer active after their mandates were completed.

The UNCEISC meets regularly to review progress made on classifications developments and revisions, assess current implementations and set priorities for future classifications work.
