Overview

prEN IEC 81346-14:2025 (Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products - Structuring principles and reference designation - Part 14: Manufacturing and processing systems) specifies structuring principles and a reference designation system for manufacturing and processing systems (RDS‑MS). Published as a Committee Draft for Vote (CDV) in 2025, this part is intended to be used together with IEC 81346‑1:2022 and aligned with IEC/ISO classification parts (e.g., ISO/IEC 81346‑10, ‑12). Its scope covers concepts and rules to consistently name, structure and present manufacturing systems across mechanical, electrical and process domains.

Key topics and requirements

  • Core concepts: definitions for object, aspect, system (prime, technical, component), function, product, location, type, and object occurrence.
  • Structuring principles: guidance for forming structures based on different aspects:
    • Function‑oriented
    • Product‑oriented
    • Location‑oriented
    • Type‑oriented
    • Multi‑aspect structures combining the above
  • Reference designation construction:
    • Rules for single‑level and multi‑level designations
    • Use of letter codes and format conventions
    • Guidance on reference designation sets and top‑node identifiers
  • Location and labelling: methods for designation of locations, assemblies and presentation of identifiers.
  • Presentation of properties: recommended ways to present object properties alongside designations.
  • Annexes:
    • Annex AA (normative) - classification letter codes for classes of prime and technical systems used in manufacturing.
    • Annex BB (informative) - practical examples (process flow, block diagrams, structure trees) illustrating RDS‑MS usage.

Practical applications

  • Standardizes naming and structuring for:
    • Process plants, production lines, material handling systems, and supporting utilities.
  • Enables consistent documentation across disciplines (mechanical, electrical, control, process).
  • Supports engineering lifecycle activities:
    • Planning, design, commissioning, operation, maintenance and spare‑parts management.
  • Improves interoperability in CAD/PLM, technical documentation, asset management and digital twin implementations by providing a harmonized reference designation system.

Who should use this standard

  • Systems engineers, plant designers and process engineers
  • Technical authors and documentation specialists
  • System integrators, maintenance and reliability teams
  • CAD/PLM and asset‑management professionals
  • Standards committees and procurement/specification writers seeking consistent structuring rules for manufacturing systems

Related standards

  • IEC 81346‑1:2022 (general rules) - this part is designed to be read in conjunction with IEC 81346‑1.
  • ISO/IEC parts on classification (e.g., ISO/IEC 81346‑10, ‑12) for prime/technical system classification and mapping.

Keywords: IEC 81346‑14, reference designation system, RDS‑MS, manufacturing and processing systems, structuring principles, classification letter codes, reference designation.

87 FOREWORD
88 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
89 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
90 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
91 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
92 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
93 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
94 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
95 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
96 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
97 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
98 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
99 interested IEC National Committees.
100 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
101 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
102 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
103 misinterpretation by any end user.
104 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
105 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
106 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
107 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
108 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
109 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
110 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
111 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
112 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
113 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
114 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
115 Publications.
116 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
117 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
118 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
119 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
120 IEC 81346-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 3: Documentation, graphical
121 symbols and representations of technical information, in close cooperation with ISO technical
122 committee 10: Technical product documentation. It is an International Standard.

156 INTRODUCTION
157 This document considers and supports planning, design, utilization and maintenance of
158 manufacturing systems. The application of a reference designation system for manufacturing
159 systems (RDS-MS) can lead to new views and structuring of these activities and thereby offers
160 chances and potentials of increasing efficiency and economization.
161 This document is aligned with the structuring rules provided in IEC 81346-1, the classification
162 principles of IEC 81346-2. It also follows the principles for the classification of prime systems
163 and technical systems provided in ISO 81346-10 and ISO 81346-12.
164 The focus of this part of the 81346 international standard series is to define classes of systems
165 which are used in manufacturing, and to provide general guidelines for structuring of these
166 systems.
167 The following advantages of designation systems in accordance with this document and the
168 81346 international standard series are:
169 • The reference designation system can be applied to several technical fields. Mechanical,
170 electrical and process equipment can be treated the same way – a basis for companywide
171 synergy effects;
172 • The reference designation system allows integrating any kind of systems and components
173 without changing the once defined designations;
174 • The application of different aspects allows, for instance, the designation of functions
175 independently from realizing products and their location. The different representation of
176 systems through multiple aspects and the relations between these, allows for a more
177 inclusive and complete reference model of systems.
178 The users of this standard will be able to manage objects, relation among these and related
179 properties in a more efficient and consistent way. When implemented, information across
180 various data processing systems can be handled in an unambiguous way.
181 Manufacturing is considered as a major part in the Five-sector model of the economic sector.
182 The influence and importance of manufacturing ripple throughout the entire model as
183 described in the following:
184 1. primary sector (natural sector):
185 This sector involves the extraction and production of raw materials, for example, farming,
186 mining, fishing, forestry. The secondary sector relies heavily on this sector for the raw
187 materials it needs to produce products.
188 EXAMPLES: A steel manufacturer needs iron from the mining industry. A tyre manufacturer needs rubber from
189 the agricultural industry. A car manufacturer needs steel and tyres, thus, implicitely needing iron from the mining
190 industry and rubber from the agricultural industry
191 • secondary sector (industrial sector):
192 This sector takes the raw materials from the primary sector and transforms them into
193 finished products. This includes factories producing for eamples, cars, clothing, electronics,
194 steel, diaries, breweries. Building and construction is also part of this sector .
195 • tertiary sector (service sector):
196 This sector provides services to both individuals and businesses. While manufacturing is
197 not directly part of this sector, it relies heavily on it.
198 EXAMPLES: Transportation services to move products. Financial services to handle transactions. Marketing
199 services to sell products.
200 • quaternary sector (information sector):
201 This sector deals with information processing and knowledge sharing. It includes IT,
202 research and development, and consulting. Manufacturing increasingly relies on this sector
203 for technological advancements, process optimization, and data analysis.

IEC CDV 81346-14 © IEC 2025 – 77 –
204 • quinary sector (human services sector):
205 This sector involves services that focus on human development and well-being, such as
206 education, healthcare, and social work. While not directly involved in production, this sector
207 contributes to a skilled and healthy workforce, which is essential for a thriving manufacturing
208 industry.
210 The different sectors of the Five-sector model of the economic sector can be subdivided into
211 subsectors or industries. For the primary sector (natural sector), the following subsectors
212 are common:
213 • biotic sector;
214 • geological sector.
216 For the secondary sector (industrial sector), the following subsectors are common:
217 • construction, partly covered by ISO 81346-12.
218 • manufacturing sector;
219 • chemicals;
220 • electrical and optical;
221 • heavy industry;
222 • light industry;
223 • materials;
224 • utilies, partly covered by ISO 81346-10;
225 This part of the 81346 international standard is intended to cover manufacturing systems from
226 the geological aspect of the primary sector, such as minerals, fossil fuels, and land. It is also
227 intended to cover manufacturing and construction subsectors from the secondary sector.
228 The specifications in this document apply for processing, transportation and storage of final
229 products, as well as for auxiliary systems to support the manufacturing process such as
230 electrical systems, management systems and waste disposal systems.

236 Part 14: Manufacturing and processing systems
238 1 Scope
239 This part of 81346 International Standard, published jointly by IEC and ISO, provides, in
240 combination with IEC 81346-1 and IEC 81346-2, rules and recommendations on the structuring
241 of systems and the information on systems of manufacturing systems. It also provides additional
242 classification schemes to those of IEC 81346-2 for use in reference designations within
243 manufacturing systems.
244 The structuring principles and the classes of objects are intended to provide a clear
245 identification and localization of the objects, and for use in their labelling in the manufacturing
246 plant, for their designation in technical documents and for the designation of the technical
247 documents as well.
248 The requirements in this document apply for processing, transportation and storage of products,
249 as well as for systems to support the manufacturing process such as electrical systems,
250 management systems and waste disposal systems.
251 This document is applicable for different areas within the manufacturing industry like light
252 industry, electrical and optical industry, chemical industry, material industry and heavy industry .
253 This document is not applicable for designations related to product individuals (e.g. inventory
254 number, serial number) nor to the products manufactured.
255 This document is also a horizontal publication intended for use by technical committees in
256 preparation of publications related to reference designations in accordance with the principles
257 laid down in IEC Guide 108.
