DOCUMENT KINDS FOR ELECTRICAL AND INSTRUMENTATION
PROJECTS IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRY

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, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) 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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 62708 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 65:
Industrial-process measurement, control and automation.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
65/580/FDIS 65/583/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 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 stability 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.
IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

INTRODUCTION
The engineering in the process industry is driven by international cooperation. Due to
economic reasons, special know-how, special licence, authorization or simply capacity
utilisation the work is split between partners. They will arrange their cooperation for each
individual project differently. This requires well defined split of work and responsibilities.
Documents are the basis for these definitions since they are the result of any engineering
work.
If there is only the name of a document without further description of form and content, it will
be likely that each partner develops their own view of the result of their efforts. Therefore, for
each project the definition of deliverable documents is a major issue. The name of a
document is often used for similar but in detail different documents. This standard will take
the most commonly used name from synonymous names as the document kind name,
intending to make other alternatives obsolete.
The first aim of this standard is to avoid misunderstandings and erroneous elaboration of
documents in order to reduce additional corrective works and expenses for clarification
between partners.
The second aim is to provide the convenience of document handling by using the IEC 61355
database. This standard will provide document kind names, document kind classification
codes specified by IEC 61355, and some templates.
To cover these aims, we specify individual document kind names, but do not specify which
documents are mandatory or optional.
