Introduction
The AFNeT association is an international non-profit association in Europe and has operated for more
than 30 years as a multi-sectoral “Think Tank” articulated with a “Do Tank”, with digital transformation
projects or standardization projects in many industries. These activities have led to the emergence of a
network of recognized and highly skilled actors from the manufacturing industry, IT businesses, and
research companies. Its members represent leading industrial companies, SMEs, French governmental
agencies, software vendors, universities, and research organizations. AFNeT has conducted voluntary
and innovative actions in order to develop competitiveness and innovation in industry by setting up
collaboration projects or programs in the industrial sectors (e.g. Aerospace and Defence, Automotive,
Rail, Shipbuilding, Nuclear, Energy) to enable the digital thread for the extended enterprise processes
such as Product Lifecycle Management, Supply-Chain Management, Manufacturing, Maintenance and
Operations, Integrated Logistics Support, and Identification. AFNet promotes the development, testing
and usage of a set of coherent international standards for supporting these activities, especially in the
PLM and the SCM domains.
The prostep ivip Association is an international non-profit association in Europe. For establishing
leadership in IT-based engineering it offers a moderated platform to its nearly 200 members from
leading industries, system vendors and research institutions. Its product and process data
standardization activities at European and worldwide levels are well known and accepted. The prostep
ivip Association sees this document and the related parts as a milestone of product data technology.
PDES Inc. is an international non-profit association in USA. The mission of PDES Inc. is to accelerate the
development and implementation of ISO 10303, enabling enterprise integration and PLM
interoperability for member companies. PDES Inc. gathers members from leading manufacturers,
national government agencies, PLM vendors and research organizations. PDES Inc. supports this
standard as an industry resource to sustain the interoperability of digital product information, ensuring
and maintaining authentic longevity throughout their product lifecycle.
Readers of this document should note that all standards undergo periodic revisions and that any
reference made herein to any other standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated.
Within the context of the EN 9300 series the terms “shall” and “should” are to be used per the TOC-2
NAS Style Guide_2021 Clause 3.1 and 3.2:
— “shall” is to be used in an imperative sense. All requirements will be prefaced with a “shall”

statements will be prefaced with a “should” statement denoting non-mandatory action.
— “includes” means “includes but is not limited to”.
1 Scope
This document specifies the fundamentals and concepts for the long-term preservation of digital
product and technical data. EN 9300 is a series of separate standard parts that elucidate various
regulatory and business requirements, applicable domain specific methodologies and are extensible for
future long-term archiving formats and data management practices.
EN 9300-003 will focus on the fundamentals and concepts of long-term archival and retrieval of digital
product and technical da
