New project proposal for an IEC/PAS Blank Detail Specifications, Part 1: Principles and methods
The above new project proposal was submitted by the German NC for development as a PAS and circulated as 3/859A/NP. The proposal is intended to be the first in a series including also Part 2:
Structure of a generic Blank Detail Specification, and some others.
What is a "Blank Detail Specification"? The term is well established in some areas, and not understandable at all in others. It is therefore likely to be changed before the series is published. Proposals for a better title are welcome.
In simpler words it means "Computer-interpretable Data sheets". The standard series is abut the structure of such documents. It makes use of the Data Element Types (DETS) defined in IEC 61360. In addition to that it describes how to handle such DETs so that all data occurring during the life cycle of a product can be managed and compared (as required; as specified; as purchased, etc) and also their varying quality (estimated, calculated, measured, etc.)

IEC 81346-2 Ed. 2 Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products – Structuring principles and reference designation – Part 2: Classification of objects and codes for classes , now circulated for commenting as 3/844/CD
IEC 61346-2 Ed. 1 has been subject for revision, carried out by TC3 MT18.
The result of the work is now available as document 3/844/CD: IEC 81346-2 Ed.2: Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products – Structuring principles and reference designation – Part 1: Classification of objects and codes for classes .
Edition 2 has been numbered IEC 81346-2, following a decision by TC3. The reason for this is that standards in the so called 80000-series can contain Parts with split responsibility between IEC and ISO: for the present part is IEC responsible, but ISO TC10 is planning for other parts in the same series.
The primary goal for the revision has been to combine the IEC 61346-2 Ed. 1 and ISO/PAS 62400 Ed. 1. The new document is intended to replace both.
The following technical changes have been made compared to IEC 61346-2 Ed. 1:
All rules concerning the application of letter codes has been removed as these should be included in other publication dealing with the application of letter codes within reference designations.
The following technical changes have been made compared to IEC 62400 Ed. 1:
Some new subclasses for class B have been added.
Table of terms sorted according to the two-letter code has been removed.
The closing date for comments is set to 2007-07-27.

IEC 81346-1 Ed. 2 Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products – Structuring principles and reference designation – Part 1: Basic rules, now circulated for commenting as 3/842/CD
IEC 61346-1 Ed. 1 has been subject for revision, carried out by TC3 MT18.
The result of the work is now available as document 3/842/CD: IEC 81346-1 Ed.2: Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products – Structuring principles and reference designation – Part 1: Basic rules.
Edition 2 has been numbered IEC 81346-1, following a decision by TC3. The reason for this is that standards in the so called 80000-series can contain Parts with split responsibility between IEC and ISO: for the present part is IEC responsible, but ISO TC10 is planning for other parts in the same series.
The primary goal for the revision has been to make the standard easy to understand. There are a few technical changes, but not of any fundamental character. Cited from the Foreword:
Compared to the first edition, the following substantial changes have been made:
A new introductory clause providing a description and explanation to the concepts used elsewhere in the publication;
A more comprehensive description of the structuring principles and rules for structuring are provided;
A "facility" aspect being another aspect is introduced, and the prefix sign # is assigned to these aspects.
The concept of reference designation group has been deleted.
A new clause about labelling is introduced.
The old annexes have been removed with the exception of the annex showing an example of the application of reference designations within a system;
A new annex explaining the manipulation of objects is introduced;
4 new annexes are introduced as rearrangement of detailed examples or explanatory information.
If you have ever wondered what the three-dimensional figure on the front page of the TC3 site means, you will find the explanation in this draft, in which the cube is used to explain a number of concepts.
As usual for CDs the repsonse time is set to three month, i.e. the document is closing for comments by the end of June.

Description of and question regarding the possibilities to use the platform for standards in database format also for National standards
The above Document for Commenting (DC) has been prepared in response to the request of TC3 at its meeting in Berlin 2006.
It is now circulated to the National Commettees as document 3/839/DC.
Cited from the document:
The basic conception is that in a standard in database format (with high information granularity) there is a possibility to distinguish clearly between languagedependant and languageindependent information for a contained item.
As a consequence, it ought to be advantageous to manage different language variants of a standard on the same database platform in order to let them share the language independent information and for each language variant translate just the language dependant information for each item.
This would decrease the cost for updating and also speed up the provision of the different language variants and as a consequence National standards on the same subject.

Requirements concerning the interoperability between electromechanical and
electrical applications in CAx- systems
The above new project proposal has been submitted by the German NC for development as a PAS. It is being circulated as 3/837/NP.
Cited from the proposed Scope:
This document is intended to serve as checklist and guideline for the evaluation of CAxsoftware
for applications within the electromechanical field for users in industry.
The document provides a set of data element types required in the context of electromechanical
applications, especially in the context of electrical applications and their mechanical representations
in the real or virtual three-dimensional world.
Where possible, existing internationally standardized data element types have been taken from
the existing data element repository as listed in the data base IEC 61360 available under the
URL http://std.iec.ch/iec61360.
Available data element types are indicated by their identity number, followed by its name and
the definition as given in the data base at the time of publication of this document.
The application of standardized data element types supports an automatization of design processes
during the development of products, systems and plants.

IEC 61355-1 Ed.2: Classification and designation of documents for plants, systems and equipment - Part 1: Rules and classification tables, now as CDV
IEC 61355 Ed. 1 has been subject for revision, carried out by TC3 MT19.
The result of the work is now available as document 3/835/CDV:
IEC 61355-1 Ed.2: Classification and designation of documents for plants, systems and equipment - Part 1: Rules and classification tables, presentlly only in its English language variant. The Fench one is expected during April.
Edition 2 has been numbered IEC 61355-1, i.e Part 1. The reason for this is that the table of document kinds in Ed.1 will be made available as a standard in databse format (IEC 61355 DB) presently in development by MT19.
As a consequence of this the changes of the standard are limited, and it has therefore been considered possible to circulate this first part directly as a CDV.
