10 August 2024 In cost audit, product group codes are used to classify products based on the primary materials used or their industry classification. When dealing with a final product that is made of multiple materials, such as a die made from both Aluminium and Zinc, you typically need to classify it under the most appropriate product group codes for reporting and auditing purposes.

Here's how to determine the product group code for a die made of Aluminium and Zinc:

### **1. Determine Primary Material or Classification**

- **Aluminium & Aluminium Products (4008):** This code is used if the primary material or the predominant material in the product is Aluminium.
- **Zinc & Zinc Products (4010):** This code is used if the primary material or the predominant material in the product is Zinc.

### **2. Dual Material Classification**

- **Both (4008 & 4010):** If the die is made from a significant quantity of both Aluminium and Zinc, and neither material is predominant, it is appropriate to use both codes.

### **Product Group Code Recommendation**

1. **Primary Classification Based on Material Dominance:**
- If one material is more significant or predominant in the production of the die, then classify the die under the code corresponding to that material. For instance, if Aluminium is the predominant material, use **4008**. If Zinc is predominant, use **4010**.

2. **Dual Classification:**
- If neither material is predominant or both materials are used in substantial amounts, you may need to use both product group codes. In such cases, you could consider the following approach:
- **Use Both Codes:** If your reporting system or the guidelines allow, you can use both codes **4008** (Aluminium & Aluminium Products) and **4010** (Zinc & Zinc Products) to represent the dual nature of the product.

### **Conclusion**

- **For Primary Material Classification:** Choose the code based on the predominant material.
- **For Dual Material Products:** If dual classification is permitted or necessary, use both codes **4008** and **4010**.

Ensure to follow any specific guidelines provided by the cost audit standards or industry practices that apply to your organization. If in doubt, consult with a cost accountant or auditor who can provide guidance based on the specifics of your industry and reporting requirements.
