ISO 10303-214:2010(E)
A Product_identification identifies a manufacturable object, or expected as so. A Product_identification is defined with respect to the Product_class it is a member of.
NOTE 1 The kind of product that is to be manufactured from the data of the Product_identification, is the kind of product that the associated_product_class identifies a class of.
NOTE 2 The intent of Product_identification is the identification of one manufacturable object whereas the intent of Product_class is the gathering of products with similar characteristics.
EXAMPLE A Product_identification that is associated with a Product_class that identifies a family of Diesel engines is intended to lead to the manufacture of a particular case of Diesel engine, and the Product_identification that is associated with a Product_class that identifies a car family will lead to the manufacture of a car.
Each Product_identification may be a Product_specification.
The data associated with a Product_identification are the following:
The associated_product_class specifies the Product_class that a product belongs to.
See product_identification to product_class for the application assertion.
The description specifies additional information about the Product_identification .
See product_identification to multi_language_string for the application assertion.
The description need not be specified for a particular Product_identification.
If present, there shall be exactly one object that defines the description for a Product_identification.
The id specifies the identifier of the Product_identification.
The name specifies the word or group of words by which the Product_identification is referred to.
See product_identification to multi_language_string for the application assertion.
The name need not be specified for a particular Product_identification.
If present, there shall be exactly one object that defines the name for a Product_identification.
The version_id specifies the identification of a particular version of a Product_identification.
The version_id need not be specified for a particular Product_identification.
