Basic principle of ETIM (abbreviated for electronical information model) is to give each product of a certain class of product traded in the electrical sector. Within each of these product categories, different, verifiable properties such as material or power consumption are associated with the goods.

All important technical data are thus standardized by ETIM, so that its acquisition and use in trade absolutely works. ETIM is the guiding principle for the exchange of product and catalog data between the electronics and the electrical wholesale. And not only in Germany, but now in many other European countries. ETIM improves data exchange and communication between industry and trade. ETIM is today a significant relief and Cost reduction.
