2 Scope
2.1 PDM data in EN 9300 context
In most modern industrial environments, productdata is maintained and managed using productdata management (PDM) systems. In general, these systems:
-
— Manage the use of the primary technical data contained, for example, in CAD models and documents,
-
— Allow organization of primary technical data into structures to represent the relevant products,
-
— Support definition and maintenance processes for products.
Within the EN 9300 context, several domain specific parts address LTA&R for the primary technical data (e.g. CAD, CAx, Documents) as generated by the relevant technical "authoring" systems. The EN 9300‑2xx series provides information for LTA&R of productmanagement data for the relevant documents, structures and processes.
NOTE The terms “PDMdata” and “productmanagement data” are synonymous.
This is illustrated in the Figure below.
