National Classification System

There are over 300 worksections in the National Classification system (click on a worksection name the application). Combinations of worksections comprise the BUILDING, SERVICES and AUS-SPEC packages (see National Worksection Matrix for a comparison matrix of package worksection contents). You can also print out a one page classification list summary.
