CPC:

Macromolecular compounds obtained by reactions forming a linkage containing silicon with or without sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen or carbon in the main chain of the macromolecule > in which at least two but not all the silicon atoms are connected by linkages other than oxygen atoms (C08G77/42 takes precedence) > by carbon linkages

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.
