The guideline defines a data exchange format for the computer-aided exchange of data between departments and enterprises for the application in the management of measurement and test equipment. For the description of the data XML (Extensible Markup Language) was selected, since the XML data format can be integrated very simply in applications of data bases and Internet environments. The structure of the data format is described, which is divided into an economical part and into a technical part. With application of the data format the possibility exists to realize a complete job execution with all associated data over the data format.
