Recorded scope and limits
Publisher listing for edition 2.0, published March 30, 2022. Establishes that the standard sets general principles for structuring systems and for formulating unambiguous reference designations, and that a reference designation acts as a key for retrieving information about an object rather than as a description of it. It does not supply a data center naming syntax, and no requirement text is reproduced here.
Use the task guides below to see how this source informs a labeling decision. Check the publication scope and the edition adopted by your project before applying it. A publisher overview is not the full text of a standard, and software documentation does not prescribe a physical label format.
