This International Standard specifies requirements for the preparation, revision and presentation of digital
product definition data, hereafter referred to as data sets. It supports two methods of application: model-only,
and model and drawing in digital format. Its structure presents requirements common to both methods
followed by clauses providing for any essential, differing requirements for each method. Additionally, its use in
conjunction with computer aided design (CAD) systems could assist in the progression towards improved
modelling and annotation practices for CAD and engineering disciplines, as well as serving as a guideline for
IT engineers.
The aspects specified in this International Standard refer mainly, but not exclusively, to requirements that
differ or are additional to those provided in existing, related standards. Where no such requirements are
identified, it is safe to assume that the appropriate existing ISO standards are instead applicable.
