DIN EN 17473:2020-02

This European standard provides a common method for creating product data templates for products and systems that are covered by harmonised technical specifications under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This document describes how product data templates shall be created based on harmonised standards and European Assessment Documents (EAD), using the common European technical language established already existing in the harmonised technical specifications, and in normative references. This document covers the parts of harmonised standards that are related to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) through the Annex ZA, and it covers the parts of harmonised standards that are not related to the CPR, i.e. the parts that are not related to the Annex ZA. To distinguish between CPR and none CPR related parts, groups of properties need to be created from clauses that are covered by essential characteristics in the Annex ZA, and properties from clauses that are not covered by essential characteristics.A product data template based on this standard shall consist of the following concepts from the harmonised technical specifications:Reference code and name of the harmonised technical specification The product type covered by the harmonised technical specification Essential characteristics None-essential characteristics Super properties Specific properties referring to the document describing the test methods Reference documents describing the test methods Physical quantities Units Values Concepts shall be created with relationships to other concepts to form a taxonomy model representing the product data template. Concept types and relationship types shall be given according to EN ISO 12006-3 Building construction - Organization of information about construction works - Part 3: Framework for object-oriented information. This standard describes how product data templates shall be linked to EN ISO 16739 - Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for data sharing in the construction and facility management industries. The structure of the product data template in this standard describes the rule for how EN 00442008 Product data format based on EN 16739 can be transport product data through IfcXML. The creation of a specific product data template shall follow the expert process described in EN XXXXX Methodology to describe, author and maintain properties in interconnected dictionaries, clause 5 Management rules to author and maintain properties and groups of properties.This standard does not cover creation of specific product data templates for construction products. This standard only provides the framework.
