1. The CPV consists of a main vocabulary and a supplementary vocabulary 2. The main vocabulary is based on a tree structure comprising codes of up to nine digits associated with a wording that describes the supplies, works or services forming the subject of the contract. The numerical code consists 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

3. The supplementary vocabulary may be used to expand the description of the subject of a contract. The items are made up of an alphanumeric code with a corresponding wording allowing further details to be added regarding the specific nature or destination of the goods to be purchased. The alphanumeric code is made up of:

— a first level comprising a letter corresponding to a section,

— a second level comprising a letter corresponding to a group,

— a third level comprising three digits corresponding to subdivisions. The last digit serves to verify the previous digits.
