Asset management — Vocabulary, overview and principles (ISO 55000:2024, identical)
Scope:
ISO 55000 defines terms and establishes principles and outcomes for asset management. It describes:
— the benefits of asset management and an asset management system,
— the relationship between asset management, the asset management system and asset portfolio,
— asset management improvement and maturity.
This standard applies to all types of assets and all types and sizes of organisations. However, it does not provide financial, accounting, human resources nor technical guidance for managing specific asset types.
ISO 55000 is primarily intended for use by:
— senior executives who wish to adopt asset management and implement an asset management system in their organisation,
— those involved in asset management or intending to become practitioners,
— anyone who would benefit from a short introduction to asset management.
ISO 55000 sets the context for ISO 55001 and ISO 55002, and also later documents in the ISO 55000 family of standards. For the purposes of this document, ISO 55001 and ISO 55002, the term “asset management system” is used to refer to a management system for asset management.

Basic and safety principles for man-machine interface, marking and identification - Identification of equipment terminals, conductor terminations and conductors
Scope:
IEC 60445:2021+AMD1:2026 CSV applies to the identification and marking of terminals of electrical equipment such as resistors, fuses, relays, contactors, transformers, rotating machines and, wherever applicable, to combinations of such equipment (e.g. assemblies), and also applies to the identification of terminations of certain designated conductors. It also provides general rules for the use of certain colours or alphanumeric notations to identify conductors with the aim of avoiding ambiguity and ensuring safe operation. These conductor colours or alphanumeric notations are intended to be applied in cables or cores, busbars, electrical equipment and installations. This basic safety publication is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
IEC 60445:2021 cancels and replaces the sixth edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the definitions have been aligned with IEC 60050-195:2021 and IEC 60050-826;
b) the provisions for colour to be used for identification of certain designated conductors are made requirements and not only recommendations;
c) introduction of a new subclause on marking of protective terminals for multiple power supply inputs on equipment.

Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products -- Structuring principles and reference designation - Part 50: Processes
Scope:
This part of 81346 International Standard, published jointly by IEC and ISO, provides, in combination with IEC 81346-1, rules and recommendations on the structuring of processes and the information on processes used in the life cycle of technical systems. It also provides classification schemes of those processes.
The structuring principles and the classes of processes are intended to be applied for providing unambiguous identification of processes throughout their life cycles.
This document is also a horizontal publication intended for use by technical committees in preparation of publications related to reference designations in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.
