VDI 2770 Blatt 1:2020-04

The directive describes the standardised nature of manufacturer's information. This manufacturer's documentation contains information required for the correct design, installation, commissioning, spare parts stocking, operation, cleaning, inspection, maintenance and repair. In addition, there are legal provisions that require the existence of certain manufacturer documents, such as CE declarations of conformity, ATEX certificates or material certificates. The transfer of this information into the IT systems of the plant operators will be standardised through the application of the directive in order to minimise the effort for manufacturers and operators. The standardisation of the nature of digital manufacturer information is a basic technology that enables a fully automated transfer of the information as a data object from the manufacturer's IT systems to the user's IT systems. In the future, this standardisation will make it possible to uniquely identify each individual piece of information and thus retrieve it in all IT systems. This almost completely eliminates the resource-intensive search in the manufacturer's documentation. This makes it possible - with the same use of resources - to significantly intensify the use of technical information to improve the processes in production plants. The cost savings that can be achieved in this way sustainably secure the competitiveness of Germany as an industrial location.
