175 FOREWORD

176 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

177 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

178 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

179 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

180 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

181 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

182 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

183 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

184 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

185 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

186 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

187 interested IEC National Committees.

188 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

189 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

190 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

191 misinterpretation by any end user.

192 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

193 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

194 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

195 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment

196 declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.

197 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

198 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

199 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

200 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

201 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

202 Publications.

203 8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

204 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

205 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

206 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

207 IEC 81346-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 3: Documentation, graphical

208 symbols, and representations of technical information in close co-operation with ISO technical

209 committee 10: Technical product documentation.

210 It is published as a double logo standard and has the status of a horizontal publication in

211 accordance with IEC Guide 108.

212 This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 81346-1, published in 2009.

213 This edition constitutes a technical revision.

214 This edition includes the following substantial changes with respect to the first edition of

215 IEC 81346-1:

216 – the scope includes a reference to Guide 108 for being a horizontal publication

217 – synchronization with IEC 81346-2:2019 and ISO 81346-12:2018
218 – the introduction of the type aspect
219 – introduction of an information model of the reference designation system

233 Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on

234 voting indicated in the above table. In ISO, the standard has been approved by xx members out

235 of xx having cast a vote.

236 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

237 A list of all parts of the International Standard 81346 series, under the general title Industrial

238 systems, installations and equipment and industrial products – structuring principles and

239 reference designations, can be found on the IEC website.

240 The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the

241 maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data

242 related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
243 • reconfirmed,
244 • withdrawn,

250 INTRODUCTION
251 0.1 General

252 This standard establishes a further development of earlier and withdrawn standards on item

253 designation. It provides basics for establishing models of plants, machines, buildings etc.

254 The standard specifies:
255 • principles for structuring of objects including associated information;

256 • rules on forming of reference designations based on the resulting structure.

257 By applying the structuring principles, even very large sets of information in a complex system

258 can be handled efficiently.
259 The structuring principles and the rules for reference designations:
260 • are applicable to objects of both physical and non-physical character.

261 • provide a system that is easy to navigate within and easy to maintain. This system provides

262 an excellent overview on a technical system since composite structures are simple to

263 establish and understand.

264 • support alternative design and engineering processes in the life cycle of an object since

265 they are based on the successively established results of this process and not on how the

266 engineering process itself is carried out.

267 • allow, by accepting more than one aspect, that more than one coding principle can be

268 applied. This technique also allows ‘old structures’ to be handled together with ‘new

269 structures’ by using multiple unambiguous identifiers.

270 • support individual management for the establishment of reference designations and enable

271 subsequent integration of modules into larger constructs. They also support the

272 establishment of reusable modules, either as functional specifications or as physical

273 deliverables.

274 NOTE The concept of reusable modules encompasses for example, for manufacturers: the establishment of

275 contract independent modules, and, for operators of complex assemblies: the descripti
