IEC 61355 Ed. 1 (1997) Classification and designation of documents for plants, systems and equipment, is presently being revised by Maintenance Team MT 19, with goal to prepare IEC 61355 Ed.2

In this work the MT 19 has found that the tables in the containg definitions and other information on current document kinds, is well suited for management in a database.

A new database is therefore being designed for this purpose. Principally, it is a copy of the databse for IEC 60617, but with some of  the terminology modified to suit the new purpose.
