11		−	All products that are used to clean or improve hygiene including suppliers and dispensers for cleaning / hygiene products. Excludes products used for Personal Hygiene.
	24	+	Cleaning/Hygiene Products is a segment of the GS1 Global Product Classification, which publication 286 defines as all products that are used to clean or improve hygiene, including suppliers and dispensers for cleaning and hygiene products.[^gpc] A segment is the highest level of the classification and is defined as a particular industry.[^how-gpc-works]
	25	+
	26	+	Below the segment the hierarchy runs through family and class to the brick, which is the level products are actually classified against. The three upper layers exist only to reach the right brick and are not communicated through the GS1 data pool, which is why a product page carries a brick code and not this one.[^nutshell] This segment holds five families in publication 286: Cleaning Products (47100000), Cleaning/Hygiene Products Variety Packs (47190000), Cleaning/Hygiene Supplies (47200000), Waste Management Products (47210000) and Industrial Cleaning (47220000).[^gpc] GPC is republished twice a year, in May and November, and users are given six months to move their systems to a new version.[^nutshell]
	27	+
	28	+	### Excludes
	29	+
	30	+	Products used for personal hygiene.[^gpc]
