Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Recording-members for original recording by exposure, e.g. to light, to heat or to electrons; Manufacture thereof; Selection of materials therefor > Charge-receiving layers > Photoconductive layers; Charge-generation layers or charge-transporting layers; Additives therefor; Binders therefor > characterised by the photoconductive material being organic

CPC:

Recording-members for original recording by exposure, e.g. to light, to heat or to electrons; Manufacture thereof; Selection of materials therefor > Charge-receiving layers (G03G5/153 takes precedence) > Photoconductive layers; Charge-generation layers or charge-transporting layers; Additives therefor; Binders therefor > characterised by the photoconductive material being organic

CPC subdivides this area 6x more granularly than IPC with 5 additional codes.

5 codes are CPC-only extensions.

IPC defines codes here since 1974.
