CI/SfB is a classification system for the construction industry. It stands for Construction Index/ Samarbetskommitten for Byggnadsfragor, which is a Scandinavian classification system for libraries set up in 1959 and designed for construction.

This system became used worldwide for any technical and trade literature in the broad construction sector, more recently being used to define layers in construction drawings, especially in CAD. It was also used as the basis of the British Standard (BS1192 Part 5).

In recent years it has been gradually superseded by Uniclass, which has a much wider coverage and is able to encompass new building types and concepts involving energy and environmental issues. However, many architectural libraries are still organised according to the CI/SfB system.

The method of displaying CI/SfB classifications is to use four boxes (or bays) with specific codes that appear in a particular box. References are based on five tables which then fit into the four boxes.

* Table 0, Box 1: Physical environment (such as bedroom).
* Table 1, Box 2: Element (such as utilities).
* Tables 2 and 3, Box 3: The form of the product and the material it is made from.
* Table 4, Box 4: Non-objects (such as administration, cleaning, and so on).

Most construction products do not enter data in all the boxes, and often ignore Tables 0 and 4.

Most products use (3-), which applies to ‘Secondary elements, completion of structure’. Detail can be provided to this, for example:

Composite window and door openings and parts to fill them (31.3)

Window openings only as above (31.4)

With Table 3 - Construction form, the products are classed as components, with the code being X, followed by a coded for the material used (such as metal - ‘h’), and a sub-code for the particular type of material (such as aluminium - ‘4’).
