Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Systems using the reflection or reradiation of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves, e.g. lidar systems > Lidar systems, specially adapted for specific applications > for mapping or imaging

CPC:

Systems using the reflection or reradiation of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves, e.g. lidar systems > Lidar systems specially adapted for specific applications > for mapping or imaging

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 2020.
