Technical product documentation — Document types
ISO 29845:2011 establishes and defines the types of documents required to be in the documentation for the specification of products, equipment and plants at all levels of complexity. It deals with the range of document types used from the conceptual phase to finished product, in all engineering fields. The purpose of ISO 29845:2011 is to facilitate a structure for (data modelling) product data management systems, to facilitate searching and retrieval of documents, to establish document types for the purpose of better communication and understanding between parties involved in document interchange, and to fulfil the requirement in ISO 7200:2004 regarding document type fields.

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.
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 29845 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 10, Technical product documentation,
Subcommittee SC 1, Basic conventions.

Introduction
The figures in this International Standard are intended only as illustrations to aid the user in understanding the
practices elaborated in the text. In some cases, the figures show the level of detail needed for emphasis; in
others, they are only complete enough to illustrate a concept or facet thereof. The absence of figures has no
bearing on the applicability of the specified requirement or practice.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 29845:2011(E)
Technical product documentation — Document types
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes and defines the types of documents required to be in the
documentation for the specification of products, equipment and plants at all levels of complexity. It deals with
the range of document types used from the conceptual phase to finished product, in all engineering fields.
The purpose of this International Standard is
⎯ to facilitate a structure for (data modelling) product data management systems,
⎯ to facilitate searching and retrieval of documents,
⎯ to establish document types for the purpose of better communication and understanding between parties
involved in document interchange, and
⎯ to fulfil the requirement in ISO 7200:2004 regarding document type fields.
NOTE The figures in this International Standard are intended only as illustrations to aid the user in understanding the
document types described by the text. Consequently, the figures are simplified in such a way that the content presented in
illustrated document types may not always apply all ISO rules regarding the presentation of drawings and other types of
documents.
2 Normative references
