The References tab contains all of the documents that have some reference to your selected document. The table below provides a definition for types of references that appear on the Details, View Document, and Reference Tab.
| Reference Definitions | ||
| Reference Types | Definition | |
| Equivalencies | ||
| Identical (IDT) | The regional or national standard is identical to the International Standard if the regional or national standard is identical in technical content, structure and wording, or the regional or national standard is identical in technical content and structure, although it may contain the minimal editorial changes. (Reference ISO Guide 21-1) | |
| Equivalent (EQV) | The National Standard is equivalent to the International Standard that is equivalent in technical content but not fully corresponding in presentation. Note that the term �Equivalent� is being phased out and replaced by �Modified�. (Reference ISO Guide 21-1) | |
| Not Equivalent (NEQ) | The regional or national standard is not equivalent to the International Standard in technical content and structure and any changes have not been clearly identified. No clear correspondence is obvious between the regional/national standard and the International Standard. This category of correspondence does not constitute an adoption. (Reference ISO Guide 21-1) | |
| Modified (MOD) | The regional or national standard is modified in relation to the International Standard if technical deviations, which are permitted, are clearly identified and explained. The regional or national standard reflects the structure of the International Standard, but changes in structure are permitted provided that the altered structure permits easy comparison of the content of the two standards. Modified standards also include the changes permitted under identical correspondence. (Reference ISO Guide 21-1) | |
| Modified As (MAS) | This Standard has been �Modified As�. This reference is displayed here only because the �Modified As� standard has �Modified� this Standard. | |
| References | This document/standard contains the following document references. These references can be normal �References� or �Applicable Documents�. | |
| Reference By | This document/standard is �Referenced By� other documents. | |
| Also Known As | This document is "Also Known As". | |
| Procurement Specification | The document/standard identified as a Procurement Specification should be considered prior to manufacturing or procuring parts specified by this document/standard. | |
Referenced Document Examples
Example 1:
To illustrate how referenced documents display a reference, in the example below we searched on ASME B31.3, clicked on the View icon for the document, and then clicked on the References tab to view all of the documents that reference our document.
Example 2:
In this example, we clicked on the API API 570 link on the References tab, and then used the Adobe Acrobat Find tool to find the references to the ASME B31.3 document. As you can see, ASME B31.3 references are highlighted.
