scope:

This International Standard provides rules and guidelines for the classification and designation of documents. It serves as a basis for agreements about the preparation of a structured documentation, primarily required for larger installations, for example plants with their systems and equipment. It covers all technical areas and is open for further development of documentation and documentation systems. Guidance is also given for applications such as communication in the field of documentation and for document identification. Documents from non-technical areas are included to the extent required for and during the engineering process.
