Road vehicles — Product data exchange between chassis and bodywork manufacturers (BEP) — Part 1: General principles
ISO/PAS 21308-1:2007 describes general principles for the exchange of data between truck chassis manufacturers and bodywork manufacturers. It applies to commercial vehicles as defined in ISO 3833, having a maximum gross vehicle mass greater than 3 500 kg. The process of exchanging product data can involve chassis manufacturer, chassis importer, chassis dealer, one or more bodywork manufacturers, and bodywork component suppliers, e.g. manufacturers of demountable bodies, cranes and loading equipment and tipping equipment. ISO/PAS 21308-1:2007 provides an overview and recommendations to assist the parties implementing BEP codes for their communication process. The recommendations cover different ways of communicating and presenting the BEP codes. ISO/PAS 21308-1:2007 also contains some examples of experience from practical use.

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/PAS 21308-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 6,

Introduction
Truck chassis manufacturers deal with configuration of chassis in infinite numbers of possible combinations,
and bodywork manufacturers produce highly customised superstructures on these chassis. Bodywork
manufacturers build their superstructures on chassis of several different truck brands.
The production efficiency of a specific truck chassis and its body combinations can be greatly improved by
communicating in advance with the bodywork manufacturer the correct technical and commercial information
about the specific chassis. The information needs to be reliable and to give the bodywork manufacturer
sufficient confidence to prefabricate the body or the superstructure before the chassis is delivered. With
uniform conditions, unambiguous dimensions and supplementary information can be established, transferred
and correctly interpreted by the receiver. Increased information efficiency will improve the quality and reduce
the lead times.
ISO 21308 specifies a system of codes to exchange specific data between chassis and bodywork
manufacturers, providing a platform for efficient communication between the parties. The process of
exchanging data in accordance with this part of ISO 21308 is not dependent on a particular level of IT
sophistication. Any medium can be used, from fax or e-mail to STEP protocol.
Exchanging codes according to the ISO 21308 standard is useful in various situations, e.g.
