Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of normative document:
 an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
 an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TS 13399-100 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools.
ISO/TS 13399 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cutting tool data representation and
exchange:
 Part 1: Overview, fundamental principles and general information model
 Part 2: Reference dictionary for the cutting items
 Part 3: Reference dictionary of terms for tools
 Part 4: Reference dictionary of terms for attachments

Introduction
The purpose of this part of ISO 13399 is to provide a specification for the creation of reference dictionaries
that support the use of the general information model defined in ISO 13399-1. This Technical Specification is
based on the example of IEC 61360-1.
A cutting tool is used in a machine to remove material from a work piece by a shearing action at the cutting
edges of the tool. Cutting tool data that can be described by ISO 13399 include, but are not limited to,
1) 2) 3)
everything from the workpiece to the machine tool. Information about inserts , solid tools , assembled tools ,
4) 5)
adaptors , components and their relationships can be represented by the various parts of ISO 13399.
The objective of ISO 13399 is to provide the means of representing the information that describes cutting tools
in a computer-sensible form that is independent from any particular computer system. The representation will
facilitate the processing and exchange of cutting tool data within and between different software systems and
computer platforms and also support the application of these data in manufacturing planning, cutting
operations and the supply of tools. The nature of this description makes it suitable not only for neutral file
exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing product databases and for archiving. The
methods that are used for these representations are those developed by ISO TC 184/SC 4 for the
representation of product data by using standardized information models and reference dictionaries.
An information model is a formal specification of types of ideas, facts and processes which together describe
a portion of interest of the real world and which provides an explicit set of interpretation rules. Information is
knowledge of ideas, facts and/or processes. Data are symbols or functions that represent information for
processing purposes. Data are interpreted to extract information by using rules for how that should be done
and a dictionary to define the terms that identify the data. Everyone in a communication process must use the
same information model, the same set of explicit rules and the same dictionary in order to avoid
misunderstanding. If an information model and its dictionary are written in a computer-sensible language then
there is the additional benefit that they can be computer processable [1].
An engineering information model is therefore a specification for data, which establishes the meaning of that
data in a particular engineering context. A model has to be developed by formal methods to ensure that it
meets the needs of the situation that it represents. An engineering information model defines: the information
objects that represent the concepts in an engineering application; the attributes of the objects and their
relationships; the constraints that add further meaning. An information model is an abstract concept that can
be used repeatedly for any example of the real-world situation that it represents. An instance of the model is
produced when it is populated with the data items and their values that are applicable to a particular example
of that situation.
ISO 13399 uses the following standards developed by ISO TC 184/SC 4:
 the EXPRESS language defined in ISO 10303-11 for defining the information model;
 the file format for data exchange derived from the model and defined in ISO 10303-21;
 the data dictionary defined in ISO 13584.

1) e.g. regular and irregular shaped replaceable cutting items.
2) e.g. solid drill and solid endmill.
3) e.g. boring bars, indexable drill and indexable milling cutters.
4) e.g. milling arbor and drilling chuck.
5) e.g. shims, screws and clamps.

ISO 13399 is intended for use by, among others, tool producers and vendors, manufacturers, developers of
manufacturing software. It provides a common structure for exchanging data about cutting tools and is
intended to provide for, or improve, several manufacturing activities, including:
 the integration and sharing of data for cutting tools and assemblies between different stages of the
manufacturing cycle and between different software applications;
 the direct import of data from cutting tool suppliers into customers' databases;
 the management of cutting tool information from multiple sources and for multiple applications.

 text beside the line between an entity and an associated entity describing the association;
 the combination of an association and an entity constituting the attribute of a data element type;
 two numerals separated by a dot indicating the occurrence of the attribute: the first digit indicates the
minimum number of occurrences, the second one the maximum number of occurrences;
 associations and the corresponding occurrence indications positioned on the same side of the association
line;
 in the information models the name of the entities in upper case letters and the name of the associated
entities in lower case letters.
