Full title and description
DIN 8580:2022‑12 — Manufacturing processes — Terms and definitions, division (Fertigungsverfahren - Begriffe, Einteilung). This German national standard defines basic terms and establishes a structured classification (main groups, groups and subgroups) for the full field of manufacturing processes.
Abstract
DIN 8580:2022‑12 provides uniform vocabulary and a hierarchical classification system for manufacturing processes used across industry and research. The document clarifies terminology (e.g., Urformen, Umformen, Trennen, Fügen, Beschichten, Änderung der Werkstoffeigenschaften), updates several subgroup names, and incorporates newer process categories such as additive manufacturing and welding as forming methods where appropriate. It is intended to be a normative reference for describing, indexing and classifying manufacturing operations.

Scope
This standard applies to the complete field of manufacturing processes. It defines and explains the basic concepts required to describe and classify manufacturing processes and establishes the structure for an ordering/classification system. The scope includes an overview of the subdivision into main groups, groups and subgroups and covers processes that create, change or preserve the geometric form or material properties of workpieces. Editorial clarifications and updated subgroup titles compared to earlier editions are included.
Key topics and requirements
- Standardized terminology for manufacturing processes (definitions of terms used to describe operations and process classes).
- A hierarchical classification into main groups (e.g., primary shaping/forming, shaping by deformation, separation/cutting, joining, coating, altering material properties) and further groups/subgroups.
- Inclusion and naming updates for modern technologies (for example: explicit groups/subgroups for additive manufacturing and for welding-related forming processes).
- Editorial clarifications and harmonized subgroup designations to align with referenced norms and contemporary practice.
- Informative literature references; the standard contains no normative cross-references to other standards within the text.
Typical use and users
DIN 8580:2022‑12 is used by manufacturing engineers, process planners, technical authors, standards committees, educators, software vendors (PLM/PDM classification modules), researchers and procurement/specification teams who need a consistent vocabulary and a classification scheme for manufacturing processes across documentation, data exchange and industry catalogs.
Related standards
Closely related documents include earlier editions of DIN 8580 (e.g., 2020‑01, 2003‑09) and other DIN/ISO standards dealing with specific process families (for example DIN 8588 for cutting processes and further DIN/ISO standards that define detailed process categories and test methods). The 2022 edition explicitly replaces the 2020 and 2003 editions.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: DIN 8580:2022‑12 is a German national standard that defines terms and establishes a classification scheme for manufacturing processes (Fertigungsverfahren — Begriffe, Einteilung).
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers basic concepts, definitions and a hierarchical division of manufacturing processes into main groups, groups and subgroups — including forming, shaping, cutting/separation, joining, coating and material‑property changes — and updates certain subgroup names and additions for modern technologies.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Engineers, process planners, technical authors, standards developers, educators, researchers and software suppliers who need consistent terminology and a standardized classification for processes across documents, databases and product lifecycle systems.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: Current as published on 1 December 2022. This edition replaces DIN 8580:2020‑01 and earlier editions (for example 2003‑09).
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: DIN 8580 is the primary DIN classification/terminology document for manufacturing processes; related DIN and ISO standards address specific process types (e.g., DIN 8588 for cutting processes) or provide more detailed terminology for subfields. The 2022 edition is the current base for classification.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Manufacturing processes; classification; terminology; forming (Urformen, Umformen); separation/cutting (Trennen); joining (Fügen); coating (Beschichten); material property change; additive manufacturing; welding; process taxonomy.
