This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2006-06-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 3/771/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61082-1, prepared by IEC TC 3, Information
structures, documentation and graphical symbols, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and
was approved by CENELEC as EN 61082-1 on 2006-06-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61082-1:1993 + A1:1995 + A2:1996, EN 61082-2:1994,
EN 61082-3:1994 and EN 61082-4:1996.
Compared to the above replaced standards, the following substantial changes have been made:
– the scope of EN 61082 has been gradually shifted from the rules of preparation of documents to the
rules of presentation of information in documents;
– the information is split in a way to establish general rules that are valid for the preparation of all
document kinds, to more specific rules for specific document kinds;
– terminology has been improved in a way that terms related to document kinds are clearly differentiated
from those related to forms of presentations;
– the publication is focusing on rules that support the legibility of a document and not on the process of
developing the document;
– examples in the publication are shown only to that extent necessary for the understanding of the
concepts described. The use of comprehensive examples and diagrams are limited as such examples
do not illustrate rules more efficiently than small sketches.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2007-03-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2009-06-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 61082-1:2006 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.

Part 1: Rules
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to
technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this
preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also
participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of
IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other
IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61082-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 3:
Information structures, documentation and graphical symbols.
FDIS Report on voting
3/771/FDIS 3/798/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This second edition is a consolidated version of IEC 61082 Parts 1 to 4 and cancels and
replaces the first editions of them published correspondingly in 1991, 1993, 1996. This
second edition constitutes technical revisions.

Compared to the first editions, the following substantial changes have been made:
• the scope of IEC 61082 has been gradually shifted from the rules of preparation of
documents to the rules of presentation of information in documents;
• the information is split in a way to establish general rules that are valid for the preparation
of all document kinds, to more specific rules for specific document kinds;
• terminology has been improved in a way that terms related to document kinds are clearly
differentiated from those related to forms of presentations;
• the publication is focusing on rules that support the legibility of a document and not on the
process of developing the document;
• examples in the publication are shown only to that extent necessary for the understanding
of the concepts described. The use of comprehensive examples and diagrams are limited
as such examples do not illustrate rules more efficiently than small sketches.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
