Scope

This standard specifies an XML schema for describing an intelligent data file format for printed circuit boards and printed circuit board assembly products that contains sufficient detail to satisfy tooling, manufacturing, assembly, and inspection requirements. The format can be used to transfer information between printed circuit board designers and manufacturing or assembly facilities. The data is most useful when the manufacturing cycle includes computer-aided processes and numerically controlled machines. The data can be defined in either English or International System of Units (SI) units.
