ICS groups used in mechanical engineering
Standardization in mechanical engineering

The list of ICS (International Classification for Standardization) domains is given in "Further information" (Doc. BM 5 000).

The multi-disciplinary nature of mechanical engineering calls for cross-disciplinary knowledge of the subjects covered by the different groups in each field.

To orientate initial research, the list of the main ICS groups used in mechanical engineering given in "For further information" (Doc. BM 5 000) presents large extracts from the general summary of the ICS classification directory.

The final choices are to be made by consulting one of the following references:

• AFNOR printed catalog;

• the telematic catalog by dialing 3616 AFNOR.
