Scope

ISO 10303-239:2012 specifies the application protocol for
Product life cycle support.
The following are within the scope of ISO 10303-239:2012:


information for defining a complex product and its
support solution;
information required to maintain a complex product;

information required for through life configuration
change management of a product and its support solution;

the representation of product structures, assemblies and
breakdowns including:

the identification and representation of
parts, their versions, definitions, and
documentation and management information, such as
dates and approvals assigned to parts;

the representation of multiple product
structure views;
the representation of functional, physical,
system and zonal breakdown of the product
structure, from system via subsystems or components to end items;

the representation of the shape of an
assembly as the composition of the shape
representation of its components;

the identification of positions within an
assembly of parts to which component parts may be
attached;
the association of valued properties to a
part or to an assembly;
the representation of interfaces between
products;
the classification of parts, documents and
assemblies.
the representation of a product through life including:


the representation of product requirements
and their fulfilment;
the representation of existing or potential
future products;
the identification of the configuration of a
product for a given role;
the specification of effectivity constraints
applied to configuration of a product;

the representation of predicted and observed
states of products.
the specification and planning of activities for a
product including:

the specification of tasks to be performed on
a product;
the representation of conditions for
performing the tasks, including the resources
required and the location of the resources and product;

the representation of the type of person and
skills required for performing a task;

the representation of planning and scheduling
of the tasks and the management and authorization
of the subsequent work.

the representation of the activity history of a product
including:

the recording of the usage of a product and
the resource usage;

the recording of the activities performed on
a product and the resource usage.

the representation of the product history including:


a historical record of the states of a
product;
a historical record of the configuration
status of the product;
