Classification Search 

The Classification Search tool on wcirb.com will be updated to reflect the new and revised classifications approximately 30 days prior to the September 1, 2022 effective date to minimize the risk of confusion. Users can search classifications by keyword or classification code and view current classification phraseologies, footnotes and related USRP rules.  

The Classification Search tool also provides the prior year’s phraseology for comparison, which is at the bottom of each classification’s Detail Record page in the Prior Phraseology and Footnote section.
