ISO 8887-1:2017 specifies the requirements for the preparation, content and structure of technical product documentation (TPD) of design output for the cycles of manufacturing, assembling, disassembling and end-of-life processing of products. It describes the TPD needed at the critical stages of a design process.
It identifies and describes methods and conventions appropriate to the preparation of documentation, in whatever form, necessary to realize a design including the application to multiple life cycles. It extends beyond specification for the manufacturing and assembling of products to incorporate guidance on the ultimate reusing, recovering, recycling and disposing of the components and materials used.
