Scope and objectThis part of IEC 61182 specifies the XML Schema that represents the intelligent data file format used to describe printed board and printed board assembly products with details sufficient for tooling@ manufacturing@ assembly@ and inspection requirements. This format may be used for transmitting information between a printed board designer and a manufacturing or assembly facility. The data is most useful when the manufacturing cycle includes computeraided processes and numerical control machines.The data can be defined in either English or International System of Units (SI) units.Focus and intentThe generic format requirements are provided in a series of standards focused on printed board manufacturing@ assembly@ and inspection testing. This standard series consists of a generic standard (IEC 61182-2) that contains all the general requirements. There are four sectional standards that are focused on the XML details necessary to accumulate information in the single file@ that addresses the needs of the design@ fabrication@ assembly and test disciplines producing a particular product.The sectional standards (IEC 61182-2-1 through IEC 61182-2-4) paraphrase the important requirements and provide suggested usage and examples for the topic covered by the sectional standard.NotationAlthough the data would be contained in a single file@ the file can have different purposes as described in Clause 4. The XML Schema used for this standard follows the notations set forth by the W3C and is as follows:element ?C Element appears exactly one time?element? ?C element may appear 0 or 1 timeselement* ?C element may appear 0 or more timeselement+ ?C element may appear 1 or more timesAny IEC 61182-2 file is composed of a high level element IEC 61182-2 that contains up to six sub-elements:Content ?C information about the contents of the 258X fileLogisticHeader ?C information pertaining to the order and supply dataHistoryRec ?C change information of the fileBom ?C Bill of Materials (Material List) informationEcad ?C Computer Aided Design (engineering) informationAvl ?C Approved Vendors List information
