An exchange format, utilizing Extensible Markup Language (XML), for both the static description of unit under test (UUT), and the specific description of UUT instance information is defined in this standard.

This standard defines an exchange format, utilizing Extensible Markup Language (XML), for specifying test performance, test conditions, diagnostic requirements, and support equipment to locate, align, and verify the proper operation of a unit under test (UUT). This is in support of the life cycle of test program sets (TPSs) that will be used in an automatic test environment.

No purpose statement is required since this standard is intended for IEC standardization
