Technology Rating is a code used in the Classic BattleTech game indicating the relative sophistication of a piece of vehicles, 'Mech and other equipment, or of the subsystems found in the same. Its primary function is to determine what systems were available in a particular time period in the BattleTech universe. A similar system was used in the MechWarrior, First Edition roleplaying game. That scale was different, primarily because the Clans had not been developed when that game had been written.[1]
| Technology Rating | Label | Years |
| A | Primitive | to Early Twentieth century |
| B | Low-Tech | Late Twentieth century |
| C | Common Tech | 21st to 22nd Centuries |
| D | High-Tech | Age of War and Succession Wars |
| E | Advanced | Star League and Post-3050 Inner Sphere |
| F | Hyper-Advanced | Clan and Post-3065 Inner Sphere |
