Structuring of technical information and documentation

IEC 62023:2011 provides rules for applying a method of structuring technical information and documentation by using a main document (leading document) for the clustering of the information for each object. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62023 published in 2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following substantial changes with respect to the previous edition: - the terminology used in the publication has been adapted to the one used in IEC 81346-1:2009 and IEC 62507-1:2010; - the figures have been adapted to the principles used in IEC 81346-1:2009 in order to better illustrate the interrelations between the standards; - the examples in the annexes have been provided with comments. The contents of the corrigendum of February 2012 have been included in this copy.

Strukturierung technischer Information und Dokumentation

Structuration des informations et de la documentation techniques

La CEI 62023:2011 fournit des règles relatives à l'application d'une méthode de structuration des informations et de la documentation techniques basée sur l'utilisation d'un document principal (document premier) rassemblant les informations sur chaque objet. Cette édition annule et remplace la première édition de la CEI 62023 publiée en 2000. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Elle inclut les modifications importantes suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - la terminologie utilisée dans la publication a été adaptée à celle utilisée dans CEI 81346-1:2009 et CEI 62507-1:2010; - les chiffres ont été adaptés aux principes utilisés dans la CEI 81346-1 afin de mieux illustrer les relations entre les normes; - les exemples des annexes ont été dotés de commentaires. Le contenu du corrigendum de février 2012 a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.

STRUCTURING OF TECHNICAL INFORMATION
AND DOCUMENTATION
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
