Basic details of every site within the TRICS® database can be found by viewing site lists within this section. This will be particularly helpful to those wishing to use the TRICS® Bureau Service.

Here is a summary of the data items shown in the database site lists.

The unique identifier for each individual TRICS® site, displaying its regional code (e.g. Aberdeen is “AD”), its land use code (e.g. Retail – Food Superstore is “01-A”) and a unique numeric identifier (e.g. “01”). These reference codes must be quoted for each TRICS® site required when using the Bureau Service.
