Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the
structure and drafting of standardizing documents
1 Scope
This Document establishes the structure of standardizing document and the
general principles and requirements for their drafting. It also specifies the rules
for the drafting and expression of document names, levels, elements, and the
format of document layout.
This Document is applicable to the drafting of national, industry and local
standardization documents. The drafting of other standardizing documents can
refer to this Document.
NOTE: Without causing confusion, the "standardizing document" in this Document are
simply referred to as "documents".

3.2 Document structure
3.2.1 structure
position and arrangement order of levels, elements, appendices, figures and
tables in the document
3.2.2 main body
part from the scope of the document to the content in the printing area before
annex
3.2.3 normative element
elements that describe the scope of the document, and which set out provision
(3.3.1)
3.2.4 informative element
element that gives additional information assisting in the understanding or use
of the document
3.2.5 required element
element the presence of which in a document is obligatory
3.2.6 optional element
element the presence of which in a document is dependent on the provisions
of the particular document
3.3 Document expression
3.3.1 provision
expression in the document that the application of the document requires
compliance, conformity, understanding or choice
3.3.2 requirement
provision (3.3.1) in the content of a document conveying criteria to be fulfilled if
compliance with the document is to be claimed and from which no deviation is
permitted
3.3.3 instruction
provision (3.3.1) that expresses action to be performed
• Product standard: specify the requirements that the product needs to
meet so as to ensure its suitability;
• Process standard: specify the requirements that the process needs to
meet so as to ensure its suitability;
• Service standard: specify the requirements that the service needs to
meet so as to ensure its suitability.
NOTE: According to specific standardizing objects, product standard is usually
further divided into raw material standard, part/component standard, finished product
standard and system standard and so on. The system standard refers to the
standard that specifies the requirements that the system needs to meet to ensure its
applicability.
b) According to the functions of the standard content, the standard can be
divided into the following function types:
• Terminology standard: define the references and definitions of concepts
used in specific fields or disciplines;
• Symbol standard: define the representation of symbols used in specific
fields or disciplines and their meanings or names;
• Classification standard: regularly divide, arrange or establish a
classification system for products, processes or services based on similar
characteristics such as source, composition, performance or use;
• Test standard: fully describe the test activities and the way to draw
conclusions within a precision range suitable for the specified purpose and
in the given environment;
• Normative standard: specify requirements for products, processes or
services that need to be met and describe the verification method used to
determine whether the requirements have been met;
• Regulation standard: define clear code of practice for the process of the
activity and describe the traceability / validation method used to determine
whether the code of practice has been performed;
• Guidance standard: provide general, principled, and directional guidance
on a topic with appropriate background knowledge or give relevant
suggestions or information at the same time.
For example, for the test method, when it is applicable to a wide range of
products, it is compiled into test standard. When it is applicable to a certain type
of product, it is compiled into the test method part of the document that is
divided into several parts. When it is applicable to the test of specific
characteristics of a product, it is compiled into the “test method” element in
product standard.
5.2.3 It shall consider and establish before starting to draft documents:
- Reasons for the document to be divided into parts (see 5.2.1) and the
relationship between the parts after the document is divided into parts;
- Name and scope of each part expected in the parted document.
5.3 Selection principles of normative elements
5.3.1 Standardizing object principle
The principle of standardizing objects refers to the need to consider the relevant
content of standardizing objects or fields when drafting documents, so as to
confirm whether the object to be standardized is product / system, process or
service or content related to a certain field; whether it is complete standardizing
object, or an aspect of standardizing object, so as to ensure that the content of
normative elements is closely related to the object or domain of standardization.
The standardizing object determines the object category of the drafted standard
[see 4.2a)]. It ...
