This part of ISO 11748 gives guidelines for the content and structure of technical documentation for on-board electronic control systems used in road vehicles. It provides a checklist of technical data elements to be considered when creating technical documentation.
The actual set of technical data elements to be exchanged between project partners is settled by the documentation agreement described in ISO 11748-2. Any decision on which information is relevant, mandatory or optional will be specific to a given project, and will thus be documented in that agreement.
