Coding System The GPC coding system uses a structured approach to identify each element of the hierarchy: All codes in the GPC system are 8 digits long Segment codes have meaningful digits in positions 1-2 (e.g., 10000000) Family codes have meaningful digits in positions 1-4 (e.g., 11000000) Class codes have meaningful digits in positions 1-6 (e.g., 11100000) Brick codes have meaningful digits in all 8 positions (e.g., 10000223) This consistent coding structure makes it easy to identify the level of the hierarchy from the code itself and facilitates computer processing of GPC data
