Introduction
In railway business, the customer very often requires, as part of a contract, technical documents in a certain
form. In order to support co-operation and effective exchange of information between customers, suppliers
and partners, it is necessary to have the document requirements precisely defined.
This document refers to EN, ISO or IEC standards dealing with technical documents. In cases where ISO or IEC
standards are not sufficiently precise, this standard gives specific details. These additions to ISO and IEC
standards facilitate the exploitation and administration.
These additions have been drawn up to accommodate:
— the large variety of users;
— ease of documents transfer;
— any specific series of documentation related to the railway material they define.
Special consideration has been given to those producing drawings by computer and their reproduction
without loss of quality.
