Overview
ISO 13584-26:2000/Amd 1:2007 is an amendment to the international standard focused on industrial automation systems and integration, specifically addressing the parts library - logical resource: information supplier identification. This amendment, published by ISO, updates the framework and guidelines for identifying information suppliers within parts libraries used in industrial automation. It plays a critical role in ensuring consistency, interoperability, and traceability of supplier data in automated systems that rely on standardized parts information.
The document is part of the ISO 13584 series that governs the structuring and use of parts libraries in industrial automation, emphasizing the need for unique, standardized identification of organizations supplying information about components. The amendment integrates updates from other standards, helping reinforce coherent metadata management, organizational identification, and data exchange protocols.
Key Topics
-
Information Supplier Identification
Defines methods to uniquely identify organizations or their parts that supply information about industrial components. This includes detailed use of ISO/IEC 6523 schemes, which specify organization identification structures.
-
Normative References
The amendment references crucial standards such as:
-
Terminology and Definitions
Clarifies key terms relevant to parts libraries and supplier identification such as data element value, organization identifier, supplier code, and standard document.
-
Supplier Codes and Standard Documents
Details how supplier codes should be structured and assigned for standard documents to facilitate reliable data exchange and referencing.
-
Escape Mechanism for Non-Standard Identifications
Describes an escape sequence when non-standard supplier identification formats are used, allowing flexible integration of atypical or URI-based identifiers.
-
Organization Identifier Registry
Provides a comprehensive list and updates to organization identifiers assigned worldwide, maintained by ISO TC184/SC4, to guarantee the uniqueness and global recognition of supplier identities.
Applications
-
Industrial Automation Data Management
Enables suppliers, manufacturers, and automation systems integrators to manage parts data libraries with consistent and globally understood supplier identifiers.
-
Parts Library Interoperability
Facilitates seamless interoperability between different industrial data systems by standardizing how supplier information is recorded and interpreted across platforms and countries.
-
Supply Chain Traceability
Enhances traceability of components and associated information suppliers, critical for quality control, compliance, and regulatory requirements in manufacturing and automation.
-
Standard Document Reference Systems
Provides mechanisms to identify and link standard documents and technical specifications used to describe industrial components accurately.
-
Metadata and Data Exchange Frameworks
Supports metadata registries and data exchange protocols that rely on consistent supplier identification, promoting efficient digital data sharing within Industry 4.0 ecosystems.
