scope:

This Technical Report gives guidance on the selection and an overview of all the referenced standards, guides, technical reports and DIS developed by ISO/TC 69 from a user prospective. DIS are drafts which can be amended. Both categories are documents, which are available to the public. This Technical Report also gives two descriptions of the content of the standards by two sets of abstracts: non-technical abstracts and technical abstracts of all these documents. Each abstract presents a brief survey of the content of the actual standard or DIS. It also gives some indications of the use of the document in different areas. Annex A gives the non-technical and technical abstracts. The non-technical abstracts are usually brief. In these abstracts, the number of technical terms are kept to a minimum. They give brief outlines of the actual documents. The technical abstracts are somewhat longer. More technical terms are used. The technical abstracts also go more into depth with regard to the content and the use of the actual document than the nontechnical abstracts. For many documents, the two abstracts supplement each other. Annex B lists the committee drafts, working drafts and new work item proposals in the ISO/TC 69 work program. The types of document are identified as follows: Published International Standard: ISO xxxxxxx Final Draft International Standard: FDIS Draft International Standard: DIS Committee Draft: CD Working Draft: WD New work item proposal: NP Draft Technical Report: DTR Published Technical Report: TR Technical Specification TS
