Scope:
This document specifies requirements for epoxy powders and texturing surface treatment material for use in preparing fusion-bonded epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bar, wire and welded fabric. It also includes requirements for sealing material used to repair damaged areas and cut ends on reinforcing steel.

Engineering data exchange format for use in industrial automation systems engineering - Automation Markup Language - Part 6: AutomationML Components
Scope:
The IEC 62714 series specify an engineering data exchange format for use in industrial automation systems.
This part of IEC 62714 specifies the structure and method for modelling automation components and automation systems systems in AML.
Therefore, IEC 62714, this part specifies normative AML libraries for the modelling of component information for the exchange of Automation Components between engineering by means of AML.
This part of IEC 62714 specifies AML role class libraries and AML attribute type libraries. Role classes provide semantics to AML objects; attribute types provide semantics to AML attributes.
The association of role classes to AML objects or attribute types to AML attributes represent the possibility to add (also external) semantic to it. By associating a role class to an AML object or an attribute type to an AML attribute, it gets a semantic. This part of IEC 62714 does not define details of the data exchange procedure or implementation requirements for the import/export tools.
This document focuses on the basic structure for AML Component to integrate information needed for successfully handling automation components in a digitalised engineering process.
