CLASSIFICATION AND DESIGNATION OF DOCUMENTS
FOR PLANTS, SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT –
Part 1: Rules and classification tables
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61355-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 3:
Information structures, documentation and graphical symbols in co-operation with
ISO technical committee 10: Technical product documentation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
• Table A.2 has been extended under code P;
• Table B.1 in the first edition has been omitted from this second edition; it is being replaced
by a separate standard in database format: IEC 61355 DB.

INTRODUCTION
Documentation is necessary for the provision of information for all activities during the life-
cycle of technical products which include plants, systems and equipment. It may be produced
in any phase or activity. Documents may be received from and delivered to other parties.
Different parties may need different information or different views on the same information,
depending on what is most suitable for the intended purpose.
In this part of IEC 61355 the term "document" is used in a very general sense. It covers
information on all possible media on which data can be recorded. However, the description of
document kinds is derived from the paper-based presentation of this information, i.e. how the
information is made visible and readable for the user.
One aim of this standard is to establish a method for better communication and understanding
between parties involved in document interchange. In order to get a basis for a system, it is
necessary to disregard, more or less, what a document is called today. Different names are in
use for the same document kind or the names may have different meanings for different
parties. The purpose and object of interest are sometimes also part of document titles, which
hampers general understanding. Therefore, the basis for a common understanding should be
a document kind classification which is based only on the content of information.
Another aim is to cover the need for data retrieval as it is often based on the need for the
information content of the document.
A third aim of this standard is to set up rules for a specific method of correlating documents
and objects, i.e. to indicate to which object a specific document belongs. For this purpose, a
document designation system is provided, linking the document kind designation to the object
designation used within the plant, system or equipment. Following the rules and
recommendations given, the documentation reflects the structure of the "real installation". By
that also guidance is given for sorting and grouping as well as for structured searching for
information, for example in document retrieval systems.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61355 provides rules and guidelines for the classification of documents based
on their characteristic content of information. A letter-code indicating the document kind class
is provided together with rules and guidelines for its application in a document designation
code. This standard is relevant for documents in all technical areas which are in use during
the life cycle of a plant, system or equipment.

4 Basic concepts on documents and documentation
4.1 General
Documents provide information necessary for different activities and purposes during the life
cycle of a plant, system or equipment. The term "document" is not restricted to a paper-based
presentation of the information. It also includes other forms of information storage, such as
data files on electronic media or in a data base.
Information requires an agreed form of presentation to be understandable for a human reader.
In most cases, such a form is defined only for traditional paper-based documents or similar
ways of presentation. In this standard, descriptions of document kinds are referring to the
paper-based presentation. Other forms of visualisation, for example presentation on a video
screen, are assumed to be equal or at least similar to the paper-based presentation.
In the context of this standard, it is necessary to distinguish between the following concepts
and their interrelationship (see Figure 1):
• document kind;
• document;
• composite document;
• document set;
• documentation.

Figure 1 – Interrelation of documentation-related terms
4.2 Document kinds
A document kind shall be defined by
• a generic description of the characteristic type of information that a document prepared on
the basis of this document kind is intended to contain; and
• its form of presentation.
Two different documents are of the same kind if they have similar characteristics concerning
the content of information and the same form of presentation.
A document kind should neither be defined with respect to a described object nor to its
intended purpose.
Each document kind is assigned a document kind class, see Clause 5.
4.3 Documents
A document:
• may provide specific information on an object of interest and may refer to that object;
NOTE 1 Documents can exist for which no clear object relationship is to be identified.
• may be classified by the relevant document kind class;
• may refer to its purpose (for what activity it is needed);
• may be visualized in an agreed form of presentation.
NOTE 2 A document can consist of one or more document pages.
4.4 Composite documents
A composite document has different parts of information content, each part being normally
related to a different document kind class. For example, a document presenting an
arrangement drawing together with a parts list is considered a composite document.
Special rules are required to assign a document kind class to a composite document, see 5.3.
---------------------- Page: 17 ----------------------
SIST EN 61355-1:2008
– 12 – 61355-1 © IEC:2008
4.5 Document sets
A document set is a collection of different documents, i.e. documents and composite
documents, which is intended to be treated as a unit. A document set is not assigned a
common classification.
NOTE If a document set requires a common classification, it basically becomes a composite document.
4.6 Documentation
A documentation is a collection of different documents, composite documents and document
sets related to a given subject. The constituents of a documentation are classified individually.
The documentation as a whole is not assigned a common classification.
5 Classification of documents
5.1 Classification principles
The classification of documents shall be based on their characteristic content of information.
NOTE Documents are characterized by document kinds which are classified in the same way as documents.
If a document can be characterized in different ways, the leading content of information shall
govern its classification.
Documents shall be classified at least in two levels (Class-levels A2 and A3). They may
additionally be classified in a preceding level (Class-level A1), see Figure 2.
The same for all technical area classes

Main class Subclass

Class-level A1
Class-level A2 Class-level A3

IEC 204/08
Figure 2 – Classification structure of documents
Class-level A1 represents documents containing information related to a specific technical
area. It is optional and may be applied when documents from different technical areas come
together, for example within one project, and which need to be clearly distinguishable from
each other. Each technical area class shall apply the same main-classes and subclasses
represented by Class-levels A2 and A3.
NOTE Not all main classes and subclasses may be of relevance in each technical area.
Class-level A2 represents main-classes of documents. Documents are assigned to the same
main-class if they contain the same characteristic information.
Class-level A3 represents subclasses of documents related to one specific main-class.
Documents belong to the same subclass if they have a common description of the content of
information within the relevant main-class and subclass.
Each main-class and subclass is defined in this standard by a short description of the
characteristic content of information (see Table A.2). The description of a subclass is valid
only together with the description of the relevant main-class.
