BS EN 61360-1:1996 is a European Standard that provides a common data dictionary for the exchange of product data in various industries. It is titled "Standard data element types with associated classification scheme for electric components" and was published by the British Standards Institution (BSI).
The standard defines a set of data element types and a classification scheme for organizing and describing electric components and their attributes. It aims to establish a consistent and structured approach to product data representation, enabling better communication and interoperability between different systems and organizations.
BS EN 61360-1:1996 specifies the following:
Data element types: It defines a comprehensive list of data elements that can be used to describe electric components. These data elements cover various aspects such as identification, classification, characteristics, documentation, and more.
Classification scheme: The standard provides a hierarchical classification scheme that helps categorize and organize electric components based on their attributes and characteristics. The classification scheme provides a systematic way of structuring and retrieving product data.
By adopting this standard, organizations can ensure consistent data exchange and improve the efficiency of processes involving electric components. It helps eliminate ambiguity and enhances the accuracy of data representation, making it easier to search, compare, and integrate product data across different systems.
It's worth noting that standards can be subject to updates and revisions over time. Therefore, it's advisable to consult the latest version of the standard or any subsequent revisions to ensure compliance with the most recent requirements and guidelines.
