CPC:

Rocket-engine plants, i.e. plants carrying both fuel and oxidant therefor; Control thereof > using solid propellants (F02K9/72 takes precedence; using semi-solid or pulverulent propellants F02K9/70) > Shape or structure of solid propellant charges

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 6 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 1980.
