Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13399-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools.
ISO 13399 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cutting tool data representation and
exchange:
⎯ Part 1: Overview, fundamental principles and general information model
⎯ Part 2: Reference dictionary for the cutting items [Technical Specification]
⎯ Part 100: Definitions, principles and methods for reference dictionaries [Technical Specification]
The following parts are under preparation:
⎯ Part 3: Reference dictionary for the tool items [Technical Specification]
⎯ Part 4: Reference dictionary of terms for adaptive items [Technical Specification]
⎯ Part 50: Reference dictionary for reference systems and common concepts [Technical Specification]
⎯ Part 60: Reference dictionary for connection systems [Technical Specification]
Assembly items is to form the subject of a future Part 5.

Introduction
ISO 13399 provides the means to achieve an electronic representation of cutting tool data by providing the
information structure needed to describe various data about cutting tools and cutting tool assemblies. It is
intended to facilitate the use, manipulation and exchange of cutting tool data within and between
manufacturing, distribution, and usage.
A cutting tool with defined cutting edges is used on a machine tool to remove workpiece material through a
shearing action at the cutting edge(s) of the tool. Cutting tool data are characteristics of the cutting tool and its
use that must be known and evaluated in order to make manufacturing decisions and to perform
manufacturing operations.
ISO 13399 includes the data representation of everything between the workpiece and the machine tool.
Information about inserts, solid tools (e.g. solid drill and solid endmill), assembled tools (e.g. boring bars,
indexable drills and indexable milling cutters), adaptors (e.g. milling arbor and chucks), components (e.g.
shims, screws and clamps) or any combination of the above can be exchanged.
The cutting tool data described include, but are not limited to, geometrical and dimensional data, identification
and designation data, miscellaneous and spare part data, cutting material data, and component connectivity.
The use of the tool information model established by ISO 13399 will provide increase
