Overview

The prEN 9300-010 standard, part of the Aerospace series by CEN, addresses the LOng Term Archiving and Retrieval (LOTAR) of digital technical product documentation such as 3D models, CAD, and PDM data. This document provides a comprehensive overview of the data flow for archiving model-based product data, serving as a foundation for more detailed process parts in the EN 9300 series.

This standard supports aerospace industry stakeholders in managing the preservation of critical digital product information, ensuring long-term data integrity, accessibility, and compliance with current and emerging regulations. The focus lies on the lifecycle of archived data-from creation through ingestion, storage, retrieval, and optional removal-enhancing reliability for future product lifecycle stages.

Key Topics

• Data Flow Phases
  The standard outlines distinct phases including:

  • Data Generation
  • Data Preparation
  • Ingest (Submission)
  • Archival Storage
  • Retrieval (Access and Usage)
  • Removal (Optional Data Deletion or Outsourcing)
  • Ingest of Pre-Existing Data

• Submission Information Package (SIP), Archival Information Package (AIP), and Dissemination Information Package (DIP)
  These standardized data packages ensure consistent data formatting, integrity verification, and facilitate seamless exchange between producers, archives, and consumers.

• Certified Processes
  Each data handling phase-especially data preparation, ingest, storage, and retrieval-must be certified, upholding quality assurance and compliance to support the aerospace sector's stringent requirements.

• Digital Signatures and Metadata
  Data preservation includes digitally timestamped signatures and descriptive metadata to authenticate and support data discovery, retrieval, and traceability.

• Roles Involved

  • Producer: Prepares and submits product data
  • Archive: Receives, verifies, and stores data packages
  • Consumer: Retrieves and uses archived data

• Data Removal
  The standard recommends cautious and documented removal processes to maintain data path traceability and security controls, recognizing removal as an optional but sensitive step.

Applications

The prEN 9300-010 standard is essential for aerospace manufacturers, suppliers, and archive managers who handle:

• Long-term digital preservation of complex 3D CAD models and Product Data Management (PDM) documentation essential for aircraft and spacecraft design, maintenance, and certification.
• Compliance with industry regulations demanding secure and accessible archival solutions for digital product data.
• Enabling supply chain collaboration through consistent and reliable digital data exchange formats.
• Facilitating product lifecycle management (PLM) by ensuring archived data remains accessible and authentic for future use, including refurbishment, service, or regulatory audits.
• Integration with digital thread initiatives in aerospace manufacturing, supporting end-to-end traceability and digital transformation strategies.

Introduction
This document was prepared jointly by AIA, ASD-STAN, PDES, Inc., AFNet and the prostep ivip
Association.
The AFNeT non-profit association has operated for more than 30 years a multi-sectoral “Think Tank”
articulated with a “Do Tank”, with digital transformation projects or standardization projects in many
industries. These activities have led to the emergence of a network of recognized and highly skilled
actors from the manufacturing industry, IT businesses, and research companies. Its members represent
leading industrial companies, SMEs, French governmental agencies, software vendors, universities, and
research organizations. AFNeT has conducted voluntary and innovative actions in order to develop
competitiveness and innovation in industry by setting up collaboration projects or programs in the
industrial sectors (Aerospace & Defence, Automotive, Rail, Shipbuilding, Nuclear, Energy, etc.) to enable
the digital thread for the extended enterprise processes such as Product Lifecycle Management, Supply-
Chain Management, Manufacturing, Maintenance & Operations, Integrated Logistics Support, and
Identification. AFNet promotes the development, testing and usage of a set of coherent international
standards for supporting these activities, especially in the PLM and the SCM domains.
The prostep ivip Association is an international non-profit association in Europe. For establishing
leadership in IT-based engineering it offers a moderated platform to its nearly 200 members from
leading industries, system vendors and research institutions. Its product and process data
standardization activities at European and worldwide levels are well known and accepted. The prostep
ivip Association sees this standard and the related parts as a milestone of product data technology.
PDES, Inc. is an international non-profit association in USA. The mission of PDES, Inc. is to accelerate the
development and implementation of ISO 10303 series, enabling enterprise integration and PLM
interoperability for member companies. PDES, Inc. gathers members from leading manufacturers,
national government agencies, PLM vendors and research organizations. PDES, Inc. supports this
standard as an industry resource to sustain the interoperability of digital product information, ensuring
and maintaining authentic longevity throughout their product lifecycle.
Readers of this document should note that all standards undergo periodic revisions and that any
reference made herein to any other standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated.
The Standards will be published under two different standards organizations using different prefixes.
ASD-STAN will publish the standard under the number EN 9300–xxx. AIA will publish the standard
under the number NAS 9300–xxx. The content in the EN 9300 series and NAS 9300 series will be the
same. The differences will be noted in the reference documentation (i.e. for EN 9300 Geometric
Dimensioning & Tolerancing will be referenced in ISO 1101 and ISO 16792, and for NAS 9300 the same
information will be referenced in ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.41). The document formatting etc., will
follow that of the respective editorial rules of ASD-STAN and AIA.
