NMMA Product Category/Segment Codes

Discover the NMMA product category and segment codes used for identifying different types of marine industry products

 

The National Marine Manufacturers Association requires product category and segment fields for NMMA Award eligibility. These fields are used to determine which category an OEM qualifies for in the NMMA CSI Manufacture Award and enables effective reporting.

The Product Category and Product Segment data is shown and can be edited under Products in Aimbase.

The Product Category and Segment are also shown in the NMMA Boat Satisfaction Award report.

There are three methods for uploading products to Aimbase: API upload, FTP upload, or direct import to your Aimbase install. Uploading the product CSV file requires a category code and a segment code associated with each product listed. While not mandatory, the size code can be useful for your reporting purposes. Refer to the table provided below for field names and column headers used for each code.

To find the correct codes for your product begin by selecting a category from the first column set, followed by a segment in the second column set, and finally, a size from the last column set. The chart will give you the correct codes to use in your CSV file. 

For example, if your boat is a 20 ft Pontoon boat, your Category Code will be DAP, your Segment Code will be PON and your Size Code will be 1721.

Be sure to match the code with the file header for the import type you are using.
