Things to Consider Consistent Terminology Square Pegs in Round Holes? California Guidelines Grow CIC Parts & Material Committee to explore

Consistent Terminology All industry estimating and parts platforms need to adopt identical terminology to represent same part types. Different platforms should not be using different terminology to describe identical part types.

Square Pegs in Round Holes Part types that are currently not recognized need to be identified and uniquely defined. Part type meanings should be the same for all industry platforms and there should be no catchall buckets for multiple part types or otherwise unidentified part types.

California Guidelines California requires the description of each part shall state whether the part was new, used, reconditioned, rebuilt, an OEM crash part, or a non-oem aftermarket crash part.
