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.

ISO 21308-2:2020(E)
Introduction

Truck chassis manufacturers deal with configurations of chassis in infinite numbers of possible

combinations, and bodywork manufacturers produce highly customized 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 achieving the correct technical and commercial information about the specific chassis communicated

with the bodywork manufacturer in advance. The information must be reliable and give the bodywork

manufacturer 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.

The ISO 21308 series specifies a generic system of codes for exchanging specific data between truck

chassis manufacturers and bodywork manufacturers, providing a platform for efficient communication

between the parties. It applies to commercial vehicles as defined in ISO 3833, having a maximum gross

vehicle mass above 3 500 kg.

Exchanging codes in accordance with the ISO 21308 series is useful in various situations, for example,

for design and manufacturing, technical specifications, technical drawings and leaflets.

The codes can be communicated via, for example spreadsheet or XML, or a data exchange system based

on the STEP protocol.

4.1 BEP codes of truck chassis and bodywork

Each characteristic, related to truck chassis and bodywork, is assigned a code composed of the items

given below. A prefix “BEP”, followed by a dash (-), shall be used to avoid confusion with other coding

systems.
BEP codes are formatted according to the principles in Table 1.

ISO 21308-2:2020(E)
Table 1 — BEP coding principles
BEP-ppMccc.n.p.q.s.t
Item Assignment Description

pp Bodywork category pp = None or 00 for codes related to vehicle chassis (this document and

ISO 21308-3)
pp = 01 for codes related to loader cranes (ISO 21308-5)
pp = 02 for codes related to hook loaders (ISO 21308-6)
pp = 03 for codes related to skip loaders (ISO 21308-7)
M Measure type A capital letter, which denotes the type of code:
H = Z direction, coordinate system in accordance with ISO 4130
L = X direction, coordinate system in accordance with ISO 4130
W = Y direction, coordinate system in accordance with ISO 4130
C = Coordinate (x,y) or (x,y,z) in the Cartesian coordinate system
M = Mass (m), or mass point (m,x,y,z)
F = Force (static or dynamic)
T = Moment (static or dynamic)
R = Radius
V = Angle
G = General
A = Administrative

ccc BEP code number Code number given by the respective part of the ISO 21308 series

.n Index number .n is used to designate object number n

.p Entity number .p is used to designate a certain set of object characteristics or entities (e.g.

dimensions, coordinates, address information)
Where both .n and .p are specified, they are given in the .n .p order.
.q Corner number .q is used to designate contour corner index number
.s Side designator L or R
.t Type designator Optional coding to describe the object type (e.g. fuel tank)

The centre of the first front axle is the reference zero point for the length measurements. In some cases

where it is convenient to use the rear axle as a reference, the first driven rear axle is used.

The top of the chassis frame is the reference zero point for height measurements for objects connected

to the chassis frame.

The centre-line of the chassis is the reference zero point for width measurements.

The height information, if dependent on the tyres, refers to the actual tyre equipment as described

according to ISO 21308-3, if not otherwise stated.
NOTE 1 Dimensions, except for radius, can be positive or negative.

Annex A provides a comparison of BEP codes, according to this document, with codes used in ISO 612

and ISO 7656.

NOTE 2 Supplementary information and support tools of this document are available on the ISO Standards

Maintenance Portal. This information can be found at the following URL: https:// standards .iso .org/ iso/ 21308.

ISO 21308-2:2020(E)
4.2 Units of BEP code values
The following units are preferred when reporting values related to BEP codes:
— dimensions (L, W, H, R) and coordinates (x,y,z) in millimetres (mm);
— masses in kilograms (kg);
— forces in Newtons (N), or kN;
— moments in Newtonmetres (Nm), or kNm;
— angles in degrees (°).
4.3 Numbering
4.3.1 General

Each item has a unique BEP-code consisting of the dimension type letter (see 4.2) and a three-digit

sequential number, starting from 001.

The dimension codes for repeated vehicle items of the same kind on one vehicle, e.g. axles, cross-

members, frame-mounted objects, etc., are differed by an added sequential number beginning with .1

counted from the front of the vehicle and rearwards.
NOTE 1 .n is used to designate object number n.

NOTE 2 In this document, .p is used to designate a certain set of object characteristics or entities (e.g.

dimensions, coordinates, address information).

NOTE 3 Where both .n and .p are specified, BEP codes are specified in the .n .p order.

For L codes, a positive value indicates that the item is located behind the axle. A negative value indicates

that the item is located in front of the axle.

For H codes, a positive value indicates that the item is located above the top of the chassis frame. A

negative value indicates that the item is located below the top of the chassis frame.

4.3.2 Numbering and type designation of frame-mounted objects

The same .p number shall be applied to a specific frame-mounted object in terms of L, H and W

dimensions.

EXAMPLE Frame-mounted objects can be a fuel tank, referred to as BEP-L030.4, BEP-H030.4, and

BEP-W.030.4, and a battery box, referred to as BEP-L030.5, BEP-H030.5, and BEP-W030.5.

For the frame-mounted objects, an optional coding (.t) may be added to describe the object type. The

following abbreviation letters are reserved for the object types below:
— A — Air tank;
— B — Battery box;
— C — Cap/filler cap
— F — Fuel tank;
— H — Hydraulic tank;
— M — Exhaust muffler;
— S — Spare wheel;

ISO 21308-2:2020(E)
— T — Tool box;
— U — Urea tank;
— O — Other (other objects, specified by the applicable G code in ISO 21308-3).
NOTE Letters can be combined (e.g. FC for fuel tank filler cap).
4.4 Code assignment and description

Clauses 5, 6, and 7 show the assignment of each BEP-code together with a description of its applicability

and limitations.
4.5 Priority
The column “Priority” shows the priority of the measurements, as follows:
— A — Essential;
— B — Useful.
4.6 Loading condition
The column “Loading” shows the load situation of the chassis, as follows:
— 1 — Unladen;
— 2 — Laden (design mass).
NOTE A dash (-) means that the field is not applicable.
4.7 Presented in

The column “Presented in” describes in which type of document the items can be presented, as follows:

— 2D — 2D drawing;
— 3D — 3D model;
— TD — Technical data sheet.

NOTE An empty field means that there is no specific recommendation for the presentation. It can be covered

by any kind of document. A dash (-) means that the field is not applicable.
4.8 Related XML coding

Any XML implementation for the communication of BEP codes shall follow the requirements given in

ISO 21308-1. The XML coding related to this document shall be written according to the indications in

Annex B.
