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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
The ISO 14306 series describes a file format which is used in industry for the representation of computer-
interpretable 3D product data. The objective of the industrial user when using data contained in the format
described in the ISO 14306 format is 3D visualization to enable collaboration, validation and information
sharing throughout the extended enterprise.
The file format description is flexible in design focusing on compression for compact and efficient 3D data
representations. Computer Aided Design (CAD) models, represented as data according to the ISO 14306
format are significantly smaller than the size of the original authored CAD data. Software applications that
use this description focus on workflows requiring high-performance, both capturing and repurposing of
lightweight 3D data that includes content such as product assembly structure and
