We may consider the most well-known product of Iran Code by 16-digit code of products. This code is consisted of 3 parts.
The first part is consisted of 3 digits, expressing the kind of the products and the group of products it belongs to. The second part is consisted of 4 parts, introducing the source that distributes the product. The third part is consisted of 3 parts, expressing the due qualifications of the distributor for the description and coding of products in terms of the standard patterns. In fact Iran Code creates and develops the standard of the identification, description and coding of goods at national level.

In fact every goods receiving National Goods Portal (Iran Code) will enjoy an electronic booth on National Goods Portal that will enable it to display its goods on it. Every goods due to its kind will be divided into the main groups and the specialized subordinates. Accordingly, the user with regard to their (his/her) need – no matter how small, how specialized – can access those goods through the canals that are installed in the portals.
