01 January 2026

This release includes updates to eight tables: Activities, Form of information, Project management, Products, Roles, Spaces/ locations, Systems and CAD.

This is the first of our quarterly updates for Uniclass in 2026. It includes improvements across eight tables, a result of external input from users and internal development roadmaps. The Environment Agency (EA) use Uniclass for asset classification. Our technical specialists have created seven new surface water management codes in the products, systems and spaces tables to assist the EA and increase the scope for asset mapping. Amendments to existing Uniclass codes have also been made as part of this work. This support is part of the bespoke services we regularly provide to meet user needs. A new PM code has been introduced for ‘Medical gas pipelines certificate of completion’ within the Project management table. This certification plays a critical role in ensuring compliance and safety in healthcare environments. Additional codes for testing and certification of medical gas pipelines are currently under considerations. Following a request from the University of Liverpool, we’ve extended the CAD table to support their initiative to standardise AutoCAD layer naming in alignment with ISO standards. Two new codes have been added under the ‘Boundaries’ subgroup for building footprint and gross external area. Further discussions are underway to explore the need for additional codes. As part of the development of new content to support circular construction principles and re-use considerations, the Activities table has been extended to cover deconstruction of architectural components, mechanical services and external works. Further work to accommodate re-use and alteration in construction is planned for future Uniclass updates. Additionally, the ‘Roles’ table has been extended to include new classifications within the Organization roles and Asset management roles sub groups, including codes for quality managers and utilities consultants. A total of 26 new classifications and 5 amended codes are included in this release, reinforcing Uniclass as a robust and evolving classification system for global application across diverse sectors and industries. For full details of changes, refer to the relevant revision sheets and change logs.

01 October 2025

This release includes updates to four tables: Elements/ functions, Products, Spaces/ locations and Systems.

This is the latest in our quarterly updating programme for Uniclass. It includes updates to four tables. We have worked with Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) to provide new product, system and element/function classifications to cover subsurface asbestos encapsulation (typically used to provide containment on highways type projects where there are known areas of contamination for which disturbance should be minimized). Additionally, following the request from a manufacturer, the ‘Products’ table has been extended to include classifications for railway track and railway depot equipment under the ‘Power supply products’ grouping. This resulted in the addition of two new 6-digit sections as well as four new 8-digit object codes to cover changeover panels, fuse enclosures, track isolating switches (remote controlled) and power supply status relays. The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust has been using Uniclass to classify their assets as part of their Building Information Modelling (BIM) journey, ensuring consistency and clarity across their digital estate. To allow for the classification of rooms with healthcare-specific functions -essentially clinical environments – we extended the ‘Spaces/ locations’ table in collaboration with the Trust, adding a total of five new codes. Further work is underway with: - Environment Agency. - Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai. Updates to the Uniclass tables are a result of external input from users and internal development roadmaps. Full details of changes are detailed in the revisions sheets and the change logs.
