Overview
DIN 820-15 specifies rules for structuring and drafting DIN documents into which ISO or IEC documents are implemented, generally only the German version; in special cases one language version or all language versions or in justified exceptional cases only the English version is/are additionally incorporated. If no special differentiation is necessary, the following ISO or IEC documents are hereinafter collectively referred to as documents: International Standards (ISO or IEC), Technical Specifications (ISO/TS), Technical Reports (ISO/TR), Publicly Available Specifications (IEC/PAS, ISO/PAS), International Workshop Agreements (IWA of ISO and ITA of IEC, respectively), informative documents of IEC (ISO/TTA) and guides. They are implemented as standard, specification, supplement or printed communication of DIN. Possibilities for implementation are given in Table A.1. This document also applies for the implementation of electronic versions of documents which are published by ISO or IEC. An important aspect during the revision of DIN 820-15:2005-04 is the implementation of publication type DIN SPEC. The designation by two independent numbers has been introduced to implement international documents as specifications of DIN without any amendments. The responsible Committee is Working Committee NA 173-00-02 AA "Gestaltung von Normen" ("Presentation of documents") of NAGLN.
