A glimpse on Classification
In the wake of the energy crisis in the early 1970's, and developed to the Committee on
Energy statistics on the agenda as a separate item and asked for a special report on energy
statistics and a report submitted for discussion. Accordingly, it was to prepare a report of the
Secretary-General of the United Nations and submitted to the Commission at its 19 in (1976).
After the Committee's recommendations, prepared by the Statistics Division of the United
Nations (UNSD) a detailed concepts and methods related to the basic energy statistics report.
The Committee had expressed its appreciation at its 20 in (1979) report and decided to have
available for circulation to the national and international statistical offices, as well as other
agencies appropriate, at its 24 in (1987), the Committee discussed again energy statistics, it
recommended using the booklet for conversion and units of measurement in the energy
statistics factors, the Committee applauded at its 37 in (2006), the progress made and to
support the establishment of the mandate of the Oslo Group on Energy Statistics and the Joint
.Working Group between the secretariats on energy statistics
The main purpose of the International Standard Classification of energy products is to provide
a framework for international comparison of energy statistics which as a classification of
energy products aims to cover all the products needed to form a comprehensive picture of
energy production and consumption and converted on the economy of scale economies. As
such, it covers fuels, electricity and heat. Since it is limited to the classification of products, it
.does not address the savings of energy sources in the ground (the reserve)
Structural classification:
SIEC is intended to include all the necessary products to provide a comprehensive picture of
this budge, and the production and consumption of energy in all parts of the economy , and
thus SIEC consists of the following:


Fuel product / generated by an economic unit ( including households ), and / or can be
used as power sources
Electricity produced / generated by an economic unit (including households ) , which
produces heat / generated and sold to third parties through an economic unit.
This hierarchy classification consists of five levels , which are referred to as sections ( the
first level ) , and divisions ( the second level ) , and groups (level III ) and classes ( level IV )
and branches ( level V). Coding system consists of five numbers separated by periods , where
the first number refers to the section , and the second number of the division , and so on .
Thus, all five numbers together symbolize a specific sub- category in the classification.
Uses of classification:
The standard international classification of energy ( SIEC) provides a framework for
international comparison of energy statistics and serves as a guide for the development or
revision of current classification schemes for energy products to make them compatible with
international standards. The SIEC is intended to be multi-purpose classification , which
focuses on relevant gatherings and groupings to provide, compile, produce and analyze of
energy statistics. The link with other international classifications and the integration of
energy statistics in other areas. It is a tool to facilitate and standardize common hierarchy
coding system, to ensure international comparability for the dissemination of national data,
and facilitate linking of data on stocks and flows of energy products with data on
international trade in energy products and other economic statistics.
