About This Item
ISO/IEC 10166-1:1991 defines the abstract service definition and procedures for Document Filing and Retrieval (DFR) within information technology and office systems. As a derived document connected to ISO/IEC 10166, it is relevant where organizations need a reliable technical reference for structured document storage, lookup, and retrieval behavior. For engineering documentation, technical review, and conformity assessment workflows, it helps clarify how DFR services are expected to operate at a functional level and supports consistent interpretation during system evaluation.
Purpose of ISO/IEC 10166-1:1991
The purpose of ISO/IEC 10166-1:1991 is to define the abstract service model and procedures for document filing and retrieval, providing a common basis for implementation and analysis. In practical terms, it supports software and system teams that must align document handling functions with a documented technical specification. This is useful during requirements definition, interface planning, verification activities, and compliance preparation where operational consistency and documented evaluation of retrieval behavior are important.
Compliance applications of ISO/IEC 10166-1:1991
Organizations may use ISO/IEC 10166-1:1991 when reviewing office information systems, document management platforms, or archival workflows that depend on structured filing and retrieval services. It is a useful reference for procurement teams comparing technical document capabilities, laboratories performing system validation, and compliance teams documenting how a product or platform handles retrieval procedures. The document can also support technical assessment and risk management when a project requires a clear baseline for document service behavior.
Benefits of ISO/IEC 10166-1:1991
Using ISO/IEC 10166-1:1991 can improve interoperability expectations, reduce ambiguity in service definitions, and support more consistent testing workflows. For suppliers and users, it may help strengthen engineering documentation, simplify technical validation, and provide a clearer compliance reference during product evaluation. It is especially valuable when teams need a stable basis for conformity assessment preparation, operational consistency checks, and quality workflows that depend on predictable document filing and retrieval behavior.
