Standard Series in Development
ISO/IEC 81346-14 - Manufacturing Systems
Status: Currently in the Draft International Standard (40.00) stage, expected to be published in late 2025 / start of 2026.
Overview: The ISO/IEC 81346-14, or RDS-MS, is the first international standard for classifying and structuring systems in the manufacturing and processing industry. This standard aims to ensure clear identification and localization of those systems and facilitate their labeling in manufacturing plants and their designation in technical documents.
ISO/IEC 81346-20 - Vehicle Systems
Status: Currently in the Preparatory (20.00) stage, expected to be published in early 2027.
Overview: The ISO/IEC 81346-20, or RDS-VE, is a new standard that addresses systems within the broader term of "vehicles." The standard covers the design, planning, processing, and maintenance of aircrafts, vessels, motor vehicles, trains, and any other means of transportation vehicle.
ISO/IEC 81346-50 - Processes
Status: Currently in the Committee Draft (30.20) stage, expected to be published in 2026.
Overview: The ISO/IEC 81346-50 is the first of its kind, providing a method for structuring and classifying processes and activities, not systems. This new framework creates new modeling techniques and standard approaches to create reference designations for things you do, both in labeling IT systems and designating technical documents.
ISO/IEC 81346-8 - Properties
Status: Currently in the preparatory (20.00) stage, expected to be published in early 2027.
Overview: The ISO/IEC 81346-8 provides a scheme for identifying characteristics of objects and systems, ensuring clear identification of properties in technical documentation. The standard is designed to support the design phase of systems and make properties an important relation to object occurrences.
