PLIB Overview

The PLIB (ISO 13584) Parts Library standardization initiative was launched at the ISO level in 1990. Its goal was to develop a computer-interpretable representation of parts library data to enable a full digital information exchange between suppliers and users.

ISO 13584 is a series of International Standards for the computer-sensible representation and exchange of part library data. The objective is to provide a mechanism capable of transferring parts library data, independent of any application which is using a parts library data system. The nature of this description makes it suitable not only for the exchange of files containing parts, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing databases of parts library data.
