Introduction

This document was prepared jointly by AIA, Association of Aerospace and Defence Industries of Europe – Standardization (ASD-STAN), PDES, Inc., and the prostep ivip Association.

The PROSTEP iViP Association is an international non-profit association in Europe. For establishing leadership in IT-based engineering it offers a moderated platform to its nearly 200 members from leading industries, system vendors and research institutions. Its product and process data standardization activities at European and worldwide levels are well known and accepted. The PROSTEP iViP Association sees this standard and the related parts as a milestone of product data technology.

PDES, Inc. is an international non-profit association in USA. The mission of PDES, Inc. is to accelerate the development and implementation of the ISO 10303 series, enabling enterprise integration and PLM interoperability for member companies. PDES, Inc. gathers members from leading manufacturers, national government agencies, PLM vendors and research organizations. PDES, Inc. supports this document as an industry resource to sustain the interoperability of digital product information, ensuring and maintaining authentic longevity throughout their product lifecycle.

Readers of this document should note that all standards undergo periodic revisions and that any reference made herein to any other standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

The Standards will be published under two different standards organizations using different prefixes. ASD-STAN will publish the standard under the number EN 9300–xxx. AIA will publish the standard under the number NAS 9300‑XXX. The content in the EN 9300 series and NAS 9300 series will be the same. The differences will be noted in the reference documentation (i.e. for EN 9300 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing will be referenced in ISO 1101 and ISO 16792, and for NAS 9300 the same information will be referenced in ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.41). The document formatting etc., will follow that of the respective editorial rules of ASD-STAN and AIA.
