If no special differentiation is necessary, the following ISO or IEC documents are hereinafter collectively referred to as documents: International Standards (ISO or IEC), Technical Specifications (ISO/TS), Technical Reports (ISO/TR), Publicly Available Specifications (IEC/PAS, ISO/PAS), International Workshop Agreements (IWA of ISO and ITA of IEC, respectively), informative documents of IEC (ISO/TTA) and guides. They are implemented as standard, specification, supplement or printed communication of DIN. Possibilities for implementation are given in Table A.1. This document also applies for the implementation of electronic versions of documents which are published by ISO or IEC. A key aspect in the revision of DIN 820-15:2010-07 is the inclusion of the stipulations that the International Foreword shall be adopted and what exceptions there are.
