CAD standard parts library - Overview and fundamental principles

Scope

This part of ENV 40004 provides an overview of this European prestandard. The ENV 40004 series provides a representation of parts library information together with the necessary mechanisms and definitions to enable parts library data to be exchanged, used and updated. The exchange will be between different computer systems and environments associated with the complete life cycle of the products where the library parts may be used, including product design, manufacture, utilisation, maintenance and disposal.
