Introduction

Analysis of the Standard Core Framework

Classification Dimensions Hierarchical Structure Coding Rules Typical Application Scenarios
Subject Classification Single Level Roman Numerals Ⅰ-Ⅳ Brand Ownership Definition
Industry Classification Three Levels (Category/Major Category/Subcategory) Letters + 4 Digits Cross-Industry Brand Benchmarking

Key Points for the Implementation of Brand Subject Classification

The standard divides brand entities into four types: corporate brands (Ⅰ), product brands (Ⅱ), regional brands (Ⅲ) and other brands (Ⅳ). In practical application, it is necessary to pay attention to the following:

  • Compound entity: A group enterprise may have both a corporate brand (such as "Haier Group") and a product brand (such as "Casarte")
  • Regional brand recognition: It must meet the "three degrees and one force" standard (popularity/reputation/loyalty + market influence)

Technical evolution of industry classification

The industry classification system of this standard is coordinated with the GB/T 4754-2017 National Economic Industry Classification. The main innovations include:

  1. Added digital industry category: "Internet and information services" (category F36) is listed separately to reflect the characteristics of the digital economy era
  2. Refine the classification of advanced manufacturing: Separate intelligent consumer devices (subcategory 1706) from traditional home appliances
  3. Dynamic adjustment mechanism: Establish a dynamic mapping relationship with the national economic industry classification through Appendix A

Implementation suggestions

Enterprise application path

Steps Operation points
1. Entity positioning Determine the main industry affiliation according to the revenue proportion principle of Article 7.1
2. Coding application Implant a standard coding system in the brand management system
3. Benchmarking analysis Use category codes to compare cross-industry brand values

Note: Diversified enterprises are recommended to adopt the composite coding method of "main code + auxiliary code"
