Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products — Classification and designation of information — Part 1: Basic rules and classification of information
This document provides rules and guidelines for the classification and designation of information containers based on their inherent content. This document is applicable for information used in the life cycle of a system, e.g., industrial plants, construction entities and equipment. This document defines classes of information and their information kind classification code (ICC). The defined classes and codes provided are used as values associated with metadata, e.g., in information management systems (see IEC 82045-1 and IEC 82045-2). The rules, guidelines and classes are general and are applicable to all technical areas, for example, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, construction engineering and process engineering. They can be used for systems based on different technologies or for systems combining several technologies. This document also has the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with IEC Guide 108. It is intended for use by technical committees in preparation of publications related to classification and designation of information. IEC 81355-1:2024 cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 61355-1 published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61355-1:2008: a) focusing on classification of information rather that classification of document kinds; b) introduced a classification scheme based on inherent content of information; c) introduced a distinction between an information container and a document, the latter being for human perception; d) introduction of information kind classification code (ICC), replacing document kind classification code (DCC); e) introduced structuring of information containers; f) introduced an information model of the concepts dealt with; g) introduced a conversion table for merging from the use of DCC to the use of ICC.
Systèmes industriels, installations et matériels et produits industriels — Classification et désignation des informations — Partie 1: Règles de base et classification des informations
Le présent document fournit des règles et des lignes directrices pour la classification et la désignation des conteneurs d’information en fonction de leur contenu intrinsèque. Le présent document est applicable aux informations utilisées dans le cycle de vie d'un système, par exemple, les installations industrielles, les entités de construction et les matériels. Le présent document définit des classes d’information et leur code de classification des types d'information (ICC - Information kind Classification Code). Les classes et codes définis fournis sont utilisés comme valeurs associées aux métadonnées, par exemple, dans les systèmes de gestion de l’information (voir l’IEC 82045-1 et l’IEC 82045-2). Les règles, lignes directrices et classes énoncées sont générales et s’appliquent à tous les domaines techniques (par exemple, génie mécanique, génie électrique, génie civil et génie des procédés). Elles peuvent être utilisées pour des systèmes fondés sur des technologies différentes, ou pour des systèmes qui combinent plusieurs technologies. Le présent document a aussi le statut d’une publication horizontale conformément au Guide 108 de l’IEC. Il est destiné à être utilisé par les comités d’études pour l’établissement de publications liées à la classification et à la désignation des informations. L’IEC 81355-1:2024 annule et remplace la deuxième édition de l’IEC 61355-1 parue en 2008. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’IEC 61355-1:2008: a) mise de l’accent sur la classification des informations plutôt que sur la classification des types de document; b) introduction d’un système de classification fondé sur le contenu intrinsèque de l’information; c) introduction d’une distinction entre un conteneur d’information et un document, celui-ci étant destiné à être perçu par l’homme; d) introduction d’un code de classification des types d’information (ICC), qui remplace le code de classification des sortes de documents (DCC); e) introduction d’une structuration des conteneurs d’information; f) introduction d’un modèle d’information des concepts traités; g) introduction d’une table de conversion pour passer de l’utilisation du DCC à l’utilisation de l’ICC.

77 FOREWORD
78 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
79 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
80 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
81 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
82 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
83 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
84 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
85 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
86 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
87 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
88 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
89 interested IEC National Committees.
90 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
91 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
92 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
93 misinterpretation by any end user.
94 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
95 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
96 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
97 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
98 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
99 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
100 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
101 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
102 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
103 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
104 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
105 Publications.
106 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
107 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
108 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
109 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
110 IEC 81355-1 has been prepared by IEC/TC 3: Documentation, graphical symbols and
111 representations of technical information, in close cooperation with ISO/TC 10: Technical
112 product documentation. It is an international standard.
113 It is published as a double logo standard and has the status of a horizontal publication in
114 accordance with IEC Guide 108.
115 This edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 61355-1 published in 2008. This
116 edition constitutes a technical revision.
117 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61355-
118 1:2008:
119 a) Focusing on classification of information rather that classification of document kinds;
120 b) Introduced a classification scheme based on inherent content of information;
IEC FDIS 81355-1 © IEC 2024 – 5 –
121 c) Introduced a distinction between an informatio1n container and a document, the latter being
122 for human perception;
123 d) Introduction of information kind classification code (ICC), replacing document kind
124 classification code (DCC);
125 e) Introduced structuring of information containers;
126 f) Introduced an information model of the concepts dealt with;
127 g) Introduced a conversion table for merging from the use of DCC to the use of ICC.
128 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

151 INTRODUCTION
152 Information is necessary for all activities during the life cycle of industrial systems, installations,
153 equipment and industrial products. It may be produced in any phase or activity. Information may
154 be received from and delivered to other parties, and different parties may need different
155 information for the same object, depending on what is most suitable for their need.
156 This document is based on the former IEC 61355-1:2008 and IEC 61355 DB standards but is
157 now a new joint ISO & IEC document. As a new joint document, this document clarifies key
158 concepts related to information and the designation of sets of information exchanged between
159 parties, as represented by the focus on classification of information and the shift in focus from
160 “documents” to “information containers”.
161 Notably the paper-based presentation of information that was used as a basis for classification
162 in IEC 61355-1:2008 is no longer present in this document. Instead, this document provides
163 “information kind classification codes (ICC)” to be used in the designation of information
164 containers, thereby replacing the previous “document kind class codes (DCC)” of IEC 61355-
165 1:2008.
166 One aim of this document is to support the unambiguous exchange of information for the
167 purpose of communication and understanding between parties. For this purpose, it is necessary
168 to disregard what the set of information is called in daily life. Instead, the basis of understanding
169 is based on a classification of the kind of information managed and exchanged between parties.
170 Another aim of this document is to set up rules for a specific method of correlating information
171 and objects, i.e., to indicate to which object a specific set of information relates. For this
172 purpose, a concept for designation of information containers is provided. Also, a concept for
173 relating information containers to one or more objects is provided. By this, support is also
174 provided for the structuring, storage and retrieval of information based on the information
175 content of an information container and the object to which the information relates.
