Publication date:   Dec 19, 2022

Scope

ISO 10303-44 specifies the integrated resource constructs for Product structure configuration.
The following are within the scope of ISO 10303-44:

the relationships among the components and assemblies of products;
the relationships among products and their components as made by modification of other products;
EXAMPLE 1   The machining of a product from another product is an example of a modification.

the description of a product as defined by customer needs;
the dependencies among specifications of a product in order to represent possible product variations to present to a customer;
the management of the structure for configuration of assemblies and components as planned for manufacture;
the decomposition of a product to support different product life cycle activities;
EXAMPLE 2   An organization maintains one bill-of-material structure for a product that enumerates the quantity of each component used in each assembly, and a second bill-of-material that decomposes a product with multiple assemblies into the individual components. See annex Examples for more examples of different product structure reports that are supported.

multiple versions of a single product that are equivalent with respect to form, fit, and function.
