Full title and description

Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 1292: Application module: AP239 product definition information. This technical specification defines an application module intended to support representation and exchange of product definition information aligned with AP239 (Product Life Cycle Support) concepts, including parts, versions, identifiers, assemblies, properties, documentation, interfaces and effectivity constraints for product configurations.

Abstract

ISO/TS 10303-1292:2005 specifies the AP239-related application module for product definition information: representations for parts and versions, identifiers and aliases, product and assembly composition, shape composition, attachments and positions within assemblies, properties and documentation associations, requirements relationships, state and lifecycle phase information, and effectivity constraints. The document describes the information constructs required to exchange product-definition data between PLM/CAD/maintenance systems.

Scope

The specification covers the application module used by AP239 for exchanging product definition information. Included are the representation of parts and their versions, identifiers and aliases, characterization views, product classification, relationships between product versions, context-dependent definition relationships, assembly composition and shape composition, attachment positions and attachments, breakdowns and parent–child relationships, product replacement, document classification, property definitions and valued properties, identification of existing or planned artifacts, interface representations and lifecycle phases of interfaces, relationships between requirements and items, requirement versioning and views, representation of states and observed states, product configuration identification and effectivity constraints.

Key topics and requirements

• Representation of parts, versioning and management metadata (dates, approvals, status).
• Assignment and representation of identifiers and alias identifications for parts and versions.
• Characterization views for part and requirement versions.
• Assembly composition as parent–child relationships and composition of shape representations.
• Association of properties, documentation and classification information to parts and assemblies.
• Identification of attachment positions and relationships between attachments and positions.
• Representation of requirement-to-item relationships and requirement provenance (versions).
• Definition of configuration effectivity constraints and lifecycle/state representations.

Typical use and users

Used by systems and teams exchanging product-definition and lifecycle information: PLM integrators, CAD/CAM vendors, maintenance and support organisations, configuration managers, systems engineers and data-exchange implementers working with STEP/AP239 data models to ensure interoperable exchange across design, manufacturing and support lifecycles. AP239 and its modules are especially relevant in aerospace, defence, complex manufacturing and long‑life asset industries.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 10303 (STEP) family; related items include AP239 (ISO 10303-239) and other AP and application-module parts in the 10303 series. This part was later revised by subsequent editions of ISO/TS 10303-1292 (notably 2010 and later) and sits alongside other AP239-related parts (e.g., part definitions and part‑level modules). Implementations commonly reference EXPRESS (ISO 10303-11), STEP file/XML interchange formats (ISO 10303-21 / ISO 10303-28) and other AP modules used by PLM/PLCS exchanges.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TS 10303-1292:2005 is a technical specification (part 1292 of ISO 10303) that defines an application module for AP239 product definition information used in STEP data exchanges.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers data constructs and information patterns for representing parts and their versions, identifiers, assemblies and their composition, properties and documentation, requirement relationships, interfaces and lifecycle/state information, and configuration effectivity constraints needed to exchange product-definition information.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: PLM and CAD/CAM software vendors, systems integrators, configuration and lifecycle managers, maintenance/support organisations and standards implementers who need to exchange AP239-related product-definition data across the product lifecycle.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2005 edition is withdrawn — it was revised by later editions (for example ISO/TS 10303-1292:2010) and the part has continued to be updated in subsequent years (with more recent editions published through 2024). Users should refer to the latest edition of part 1292 for current normative text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part 1292 of the ISO 10303 family (STEP). ISO 10303 is a large modular family of standards (APs, application modules and implementation methods) for product data representation and exchange.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: STEP, AP239, product definition information, application module, PLCS, parts/versioning, assembly composition, properties, configuration effectivity, product lifecycle.
