Cutting tool data representation and exchange - Part 3 : reference dictionary for tool items

This document specifies a reference dictionary for tool items, together with their descriptive properties and domains of values.

This document specifies a reference dictionary containing:

—    definitions and identifications of the classes of tool items and their features, with an associated classification scheme;

—    definitions and identifications of the data element types that represents the properties of tool items and their features;

—    definitions and identifications of domains of values for describing the above-mentioned data element types.

The following are within the scope of this document:

—    standard data that represent the various classes of tool items and tool item features;

—    standard data that represent the various properties of tool items and tool item features;

—    standard data that represent domains of values used for properties of tool items and tool item features;

—    definition of cutting operations;

—    definitions of reference systems for tool items and their properties;

—    one implementation method by which the standard data defined in this document can be exchanged.

NOTE 1    The implementation method by which the standard data defined in this document can be exchanged is specified in ISO 10303-21.

The following are outside the scope of this document:

—    specialized or expert knowledge in the design and use of cutting tools;

—    rules to determine what information should be communicated;

—    applications where these standard data can be stored or referenced;

—    implementation methods other than the one defined in this document by which the standard data can be exchanged and referenced;

—    information model for cutting tools;

—    definitions of classes and properties for cutting items;

—    definitions of classes and properties for adaptive items;

—    definitions of classes and properties for assembly items;

—    definitions of classes and properties for connection systems;

—    definitions of classes and properties for reference systems.

NOTE 2    The information model for cutting tools is defined in ISO 13399-1.

NOTE 3    The definitions of classes and properties for cutting items, adaptive items, and assembly items are provided in ISO/TS 13399-2, ISO/TS 13399-4, and ISO/TS 13399-5, respectively.

NOTE 4    The definitions of classes and properties for connection systems and reference systems are provided in ISO/TS 13399-50.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

The Redline + service - standards comparator allows you to easily and simply identify major changes between the current standard and its last canceled version.

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.


The Redlines + service is offered to you on the collection of French standards in force, in French language and in HTML and PDF format.
