Product / Service Codes Category List 4
The Nigerian Joint Qualification System (NJQS) database uses a coding structure that allows
purchasers to assess information about their actual and prospective suppliers. The coding
structure is designed to cover all products and services used within the industry, and uses
keywords to standardise the way suppliers register.
General Guidance
• Supplier registration should be seen as a key part of your marketing and should reflect all
the products and services you supply that are of interest to the oil industry.
• As an approach to deciding what to register, think of your business lines and ensure that,
your main ones offered by your company are covered.
• Firstly decide if you provide products and/or services and select codes accordingly.
• Use description keywords and your own words that your customers may use to search the
database.
Specific Guidance
• Use the word search facility in the Product Code selection tool within the online registration
questionnaire to help code selection.
• Refer to your company’s website to provide input into the business overview statement and
product code selection.
• Repeat codes for different types or ranges of product or service as appropriate where there
is good reason to do so because the supplementary information is different.
• Accurately describe the scope of product / equipment / material or service you provide. For
a product, a code should be selected from the 1.00.00 or 2.00.00 series and for a service; a
code should be selected from 3.00.00 series.
• For product codes in the 1.00.00 or 2.00.00 series, the provider type must be a
manufacturer, stockist or agent and should not contain a service description.
• For product codes in the 3.00.00 series, the provider type must be a Service Provider or
Consultant and should not contain provision of product description.
• The product codes in the 4.01.01 to 4.04.01 series operates cumulatively e.g. For 4.04.01,
then 4.01.01 - 4.03.01 should not be selected.
• Use the appropriate keywords and free text description that matches or closely approximates
to your situation. Check the description “matches” or is appropriate for the code – if not
consider an alternative code. Keywords are specific to the code and are available by
selecting the edit button to the right of the code description field.
• Do not use colloquial or internal company expressions - this will greatly increase the risk of
• Do not use a "scatter gun" approach to registration - this is not effectively using the coding
structure.
• Only use x.xx.99 codes as a last resort -make every effort to find an appropriate specific
code.
You know your business best – If after your selections you have captured your main
business lines and the picture painted by the codes reflects your company you have probably
registered correctly.
Suppliers and Purchasers are encouraged to make suggestions to ensure that Product / Service
Codes and Keywords adequately reflect industry needs.
Suggestions should be made to enhance the system for overall industry needs and not focus
disproportionately on company trade names or highly specific product / service details. We also
consider it necessary to request a brief explanation / justification as this will assist in the
decision to implement the suggestion.
An industry user group will consider all suggestions and any resulting changes will be made at
the earliest opportunity.
Please e-mail any suggestions to [email protected] taking note of the comments above
together with your name, company name and supplier number.
