This document defines fundamental structuring principles and their application for lifecycle records of technical objects, focussing on process technology, power technology, supply technology as well as production technology including their locally and functionally assigned constructions. This standard is addressed to any individual or legal person, who creates or uses object-related information. The lifecycle record is applicable in every phase of the lifecycle. It represents an important knowledge artefact for object-related information and governs their management and exchange for internal and intercompany purposes. This standard specifies the elements of a lifecycle record and their relationships in the form of an information model. The described structuring principles are based on national and international standards and guidelines for e. g. structuring systems, products and documentations without extending them. The fundamental structure of the lifecycle record is applicable regardless of the representation of the information (digital or analog formats).
