1.3 Scope of this document
Within the scope of the whole family of standards, the following topics are in scope of this document:
- Definition of a landscape framework which provides methods to describe and organise standards, which are related to information exchange in the plant lifecycle and the related supply chains.
- Specification of categories of standards which describe the purpose and nature of standards which are related to the information exchange in the plant lifecycle and the related supply chains.
- Identification of standards which are relevant in the process industry plant lifecycle and the related supply chains.
- NOTE Standards do not only include the standards developed by formal standards bodies like ISO / IEC / ITU or their national members, but also standards which are developed by industry associations.
