The Talo 2000 classification system is a national classification system developed through collaboration in the construction industry. It serves as the foundation for information exchange in construction for all parties involved. The Talo 2000 classification system standardizes practices and improves data transfer between stakeholders in the construction process. It takes into account the different life cycles of building components. The classification system does not bind organizations, documents, or implementation methods.
The Talo 2000 classification system is public and may be freely used in education, publications, development work, and information systems.

The Infra classification system consists of several independent parts: the activity classification, maintenance classification, project section classification, construction element classification, and project classification. For example, the Infra and MaaRYL online services and the Infra Quantity Measurement Guidelines publication follow the construction element classification.
As part of the KiinteistöRYL 2009 project on general quality requirements for property services, a new property management classification system was developed for the industry, replacing the previous KH classification system.
The Property Management Classification System 2009 has also been published as guideline card RT 10-10968 in the KH Card File service.
The new HVAC 2010 classification system has been approved by the Talo classification group. It has been published as an HVAC guideline card LVI 00-10473. The HVAC 2010 classification system can be used alongside the Talo 2000 classification system, as well as the S2010 classification system.
The purpose of the classification system is to structure and classify HVAC technical systems in the building and real estate sector.
