What is BS EN 9300-100 - LOTAR for aerospace?
BS EN 9300 series focuses on Long Term Archiving and Retrieval (LOTAR) of digital technical product documentation for aerospace applications.
BS EN 9300-100 describes the fundamentals and concepts for long term archiving and retrieval of CAD 3D mechanical information and the qualification methods for long term preservation of archived CAD mechanical information, principles for the CAD validation properties and for verification of the quality of the CAD archived file.
BS EN 9300-100 also describes specifications for the preservation planning of archived CAD information, specific functions for administration and monitoring of CAD archived mechanical models, and the definition of archive information packages for CAD data.
Note: BS EN 9300-100 does not cover other CAD business disciplines, such as piping, tubing, electrical harnesses, composite, sheet metal design, kinematics.
Who is BS EN 9300-100 - LOTAR for aerospace for?
BS EN 9300-100 on LOTAR for aerospace is useful for:
- The aerospace industry
- The IT industry / the IT divisions at aerospace facilities
- Personnel involved in implementing / maintaining / executing LOTAR
- Design teams / design engineers
- CAD specialists
Why should you use BS EN 9300-100 - LOTAR for aerospace?
The use of CAD 3D mechanical information results in new risks for long term archiving, quite different from those encountered in the past for 2D drawings. The aerospace manufacturers need to define a risk management policy to ensure the long-term archiving and retrieval of CAD information. To reduce the risk, the company needs to select or establish an appropriate qualification method.
BS EN 9300-100 provides you with an understanding of the principles of long-term archiving of CAD information and gives an overview of maturity of the main components for long term archiving of CAD mechanical information.
BS EN 9300-100 describes examples of performance indicators used to manage the longevity of CAD archived information.
BS EN 9300-100 covers different levels of commonality of business requirements and use cases. These use cases describe precisely the functions to be supported by the preserved information after retrieval. Consequently they identify the essential information for archive specific to the use case, and the related mechanisms to validate the full process of preservation.
