SMART-стандарты Standards Machine Applicable, Readable and Transferable

SMART standard as part of Industry 4.0

Main article: Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry Industry 4.0)

The SMART standard is an integral part of Industry 4.0 and corresponds to the fourth level of development of digitalization in the field of standardization according to the ISO/IEC classification. The main feature of this level is the achievement of such a quality of standards in electronic presentation (presentation), which makes them machine-readable (machine-executable), that is, along with the ability to read by a person, it makes it possible to process and use information and cyberphysical systems, bypassing a person.

2023

In Russia, the preliminary national standard "Smart (SMART) standards has been approved. General provisions "

On October 23, 2023, Rosstandart approved the first of a series of preliminary national standards (PNST) for SMART standards. This regulatory document opens the era of not only digital standardization, but also digitalization of the economy as a whole. For the IT-Business, this means the emergence of new niches: the development and support of information systems for the creation and use of SMART standards, the development and support of alienated SMART services, the development of SMART standards themselves as a content product and the development of integration solutions for SMART-systems of topics/SMART services and application software. This was announced on October 25, 2023 by the Codex Consortium.

Official release of Rosstandart:

The order of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology approved the preliminary national standard PNST 864-2023 "Smart (SMART) standards. General provisions. "

The approved standard was the first document of the national standardization system of the Russian Federation and one of the first documents in the world to introduce the concept of a SMART standard, as well as establish the main approaches to SMART standardization and determine the further vector of its development.

The approval of the PNST means a new step in the digitalization of the Russian economy and industry, since it lays the foundation for the exchange of machine-readable data from standardization documents in digital format. The increasing pace of digital transformation requires the widespread introduction of digital technologies, including in standardization documents.

One of these tasks is to present standards in a form in which any designer, technologist and engineer can apply a digital standardization document at the stage of product development, technology, and in production processes. Thus, a standard with machine-readable content is one in which the information system can independently perceive the content of one or more standardization documents (standards in the form of databases, program codes). Smart standards are those in which the machine not only understands the content, but also has the ability to independently use and interpret them - without involving a human operator. These standards are essentially information models capable of building independent relationships between elements.

SMART standards and services built on their basis will help you search for information faster and more accurately, analyze it more efficiently and automate the application of regulatory requirements. The introduction of SMART standards will make it possible to turn the standardization document into a working digital tool that significantly increases labor productivity and reduces errors.

The document defines a SMART standard as a collection of data contained in a standardization document presented in machine-readable, machine-interpretable and machine-comprehensible formats, which provides, along with the ability to read by a person, the ability to directly process and use information and cyberphysical systems.

PNST 864-2023 was developed by Codex JSC with the active participation of members of the RSPP Committee on Industrial Policy and Technical Regulation and the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Russian Institute of Standardization" within the framework of the specialized technical committee for standardization No. 711 "Smart (SMART) standards" (CAS 711) and comes into force on February 1, 2024 for a period of three years. It is assumed that these three years will be the approbation time during which feedback from users of the standard will be collected and analyzed. The active participation of different entities of eco-economic activity in this process is necessary, since both the PNST under consideration and the entire series of standards subsequent to it are developed primarily in the interests of enterprises in the real sector of the economy.

SMART standard: defining

As of April 2023, the SMART standard is an electronic standardization document containing regulatory requirements for standardization objects, which is an object of the information system of standardization documents and is presented in the form of a container of unstructured and structured data. It is an integral part of Industry 4.0.

You cannot postpone: the first PNST to SMART standards reached the finish line

On March 15, 2023, the first meeting of the working group on the revision of the PNST "Smart (SMART) standards" was held in Moscow. General provisions. " The main goal of the event was the final revision and subsequent submission to Rosstandart of the first preliminary national standard in Russia, which opens the era of national SMART standardization.

2022: Draft of the first preliminary national standard "Smart (SMART) standards. General provisions "submitted for public discussion

The draft of the first preliminary national standard (PNST) developed by Codex JSC on the topic "Smart (SMART) standards. General Provisions "was submitted for public discussion back in March 2022. The first PNST introduces the very concept of a SMART standard into the system of national standardization and sets out the general principles for the creation and application of such documents.

In a broad sense, the abbreviation SMART stands for Standards Machine Applicable, Readable and Transferable - "standards applicable to machines read by machines and transmitted to machines." That is, these are some digital standards with a set of smart services that have a human-readable component, but can be transmitted and understood by machines without its participation. In the course of research work related to the activities of CAS 711, experts from the Kodeks Consortium, the ideological leader of this concept, sought the most accurate definition of the SMART standard. Scientists settled on the following:

SMART standard is an electronic standardization document containing regulatory requirements for standardization objects, which is an object of the information system of standardization documents and is presented in the form of a container of unstructured and structured data. It allows, through software processing, to reproduce human-readable content of a document and content services, as well as a set of machine-readable and machine-readable data for transmission and processing in various information systems.

Thus, the standard of the future is not just a document. This is a full-fledged information system.

2021: The Project Technical Committee "Smart (SMART) Standards" (CAS 711) was established

Under Rosstandart, in 2021, the Project Technical Committee "Smart (SMART) Standards" (CAS 711) was created. The Committee was headed by the leading organization of the Consortium of the same name - Codex JSC - and the Russian Institute of Standardization (FBSU PCT). At the end of 2021, PTK 711 included 30 industrial enterprises, industry associations, scientific institutions and IT companies.^[1]
