*N = new entries where reclassification into entries is involved; C = entries with modified file scope where reclassification of

documents from the entries is involved; Q = new entries which are firstly populated with documents via administrative transfers

from deleted (D) entries. Afterwards, the transferred documents into the Q entry will either stay or be moved to more appropriate

entries, as determined by intellectual reclassification; T= existing entries with enlarged file scope, which receive documents from

C or D entries, e.g. when a limiting reference is removed from the entry title; M = entries with no change to the file scope (no

reclassification); D = deleted entries; F = frozen entries will be deleted once reclassification of documents from the entries is

completed; U = entries that are unchanged.

NOTES:

**No {curly brackets} are used for titles in CPC only subclasses, e.g. C12Y, A23Y; 2000 series symbol titles of

groups found at the end of schemes (orthogonal codes); or the Y section titles. The {curly brackets} are used for 2000

series symbol titles found interspersed throughout the main trunk schemes (breakdown codes).

U groups: it is obligatory to display the required “anchor” symbol (U group), i.e. the entry immediately preceding a

new group or an array of new groups to be created (in case new groups are not clearly subgroups of C-type

groups).Always include the symbol, indent level and title of the U group in the table above.

All entry types should be included in the scheme changes table above for better understanding of the overall scheme

change picture. Symbol, indent level, and title are required for all types .

“Transferred to” column must be completed for all C, D, F, and Q type entries. F groups will be deleted once

reclassification is completed.

When multiple symbols are included in the “Transferred to” column, avoid using ranges of symbols in order to be as

precise as possible.

For administrative transfer of documents, the following text should be used: “< administrative transfer to XX>”,

“<administrative transfer to XX and YY simultaneously>”, or “<administrative transfer to XX, YY, ...and ZZ

simultaneously>” when administrative transfer of the same documents is to more than one place.

Administrative transfer to main trunk groups is assumed to be the source allocation type, unless otherwise indicated.

Administrative transfer to 2000/Y series groups is assumed to be “additional information”.

If needed, instructions for allocation type should be indicated within the angle brackets using the abbreviations “ADD”

or “INV”: <administrative transfer to XX ADD> , <administrative transfer to XX INV>, or < administrative transfer to

XX ADD, YY INV, ... and ZZ ADD simultaneously>.

In certain situations, the “D” entries of 2000-series or Y-series groups may not require a destination (“Transferred to”)

symbol, however it is required to specify “<no transfer>” in the “Transferred to” column for such cases.

For finalisation projects, the deleted “F” symbols should have <no transfer> in the “Transferred to” column.

For more details about the types of scheme change, see CPC Guide.

* C = entries with modified file scope where reclassification of documents from the entries is involved; Q = new entries which

are firstly populated with documents via administrative transfers from deleted (D) entries. Afterwards, the transferred documents

into the Q entry will either stay or be moved to more appropriate entries, as determined by intellectual reclassification; D =

deleted entries; F = frozen entries will be deleted once reclassification of documents from the entries is completed.

NOTES:

Only C, D, F, and Q type entries are included in the table above.

When multiple symbols are included in the “To” column, do not use ranges of symbols.

For administrative transfer of documents, the following text should be used: “< administrative transfer to XX>”,

“<administrative transfer to XX and YY simultaneously>”, or “<administrative transfer to XX, YY, ...and ZZ

simultaneously>” when administrative transfer of the same documents is to more than one place.

Administrative transfer to main trunk groups is assumed to be the source allocation type, unless otherwise indicated.

Administrative transfer to 2000/Y series groups is assumed to be “additional information”.

If needed, instructions for allocation type should be indicated within the angle brackets using the abbreviations “ADD”

or “INV”: <administrative transfer to XX ADD>, <administrative transfer to XX INV>, or < administrative transfer to

XX ADD, YY INV, ... and ZZ ADD simultaneously>.

In certain situations, the “D” entries of 2000-series or Y-series groups may not require a destination (“To”) symbol,

however it is required to specify “<no transfer>” in the “To” column for such cases.

RCL is not needed for finalisation projects.

For an existing CPC main trunk entry or indexing entry where the existing IPC symbol needs to be changed, provide an

updated IPC symbol and complete the Action column with “UPDATED.”

For a (D) CPC entry or indexing entry complete the Action column with “DELETE.” IPC symbol does not need to be

included in the IPC column.

For an (N) 2000 series CPC entry which is positioned within the main trunk scheme (breakdown code) provide an IPC

symbol and complete the action column with “NEW”.

For an (N) 2000 series CPC entry positioned at the end of the CPC scheme (orthogonal code), with no IPC equivalent,

complete the IPC column with “CPCONLY” and complete the action column with “NEW”.

F symbols are not included in the CICL table above.

T and M symbols are not included in the CICL table above unless a change to the existing IPC is desired.

NOTES:

The CRL tables above are used for changes to locations outside of the project scope. Changes to references in scheme

titles or definitions inside the project scope will be reflected in the “scheme change” template or one of the “definition”

templates.

In addition to other changes proposed in the tables above, in the column titled “Referenced subclass or group to be

changed,” referenced D symbols should indicate an action of “delete” or should indicate a replacement symbol and

referenced F symbols should indicate a replacement symbol.

When a reference is deleted, text related to that reference will also be deleted unless other references or a range of

references associated with the same text remain.
