Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) has been developed by the European Union for public procurement.
Description
The CPV code consists of a main part (comprising 9 digits, 8 code digits and 1 check digit) describing the subject of the contract, and a supplementary part which has qualitative information about the type of supplies, works, services etc. The CPV structure is hierarchical. There are no more than nine-character codes, denoting the definitions of goods, services or works, comprising the subject of an agreement.
Numerical codes consist of 8 digits, subdivided as follows: — the first two digits identify the divisions (XX000000-Y); — the first three digits identify the groups (XXX00000-Y); — the first four digits identify the classes (XXXX0000-Y); — the first five digits identify the categories (XXXXX000-Y).
Each of the last three digits gives a greater degree of precision within each category. A ninth digit serves to verify the previous digits.
An example for a CPV code is

CPV codes have the form "Number Description", where Number consists of 8 digits. The textual description depends on the language used, but the number is identical for all languages.
CPV was established by Regulation (EC) No 2195/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV).
