This European Standard specifies General Purpose Information Components to be used in standards for
information exchange and information models supporting various health specific business requirements. The
components defined in this standard are the most commonly needed basic building blocks for such
standardization but these components may require further specialisation and be complemented by other
objects required for specific purposes not met by these generally useful components. Such standardization
using these general purpose information components could be performed both on a European (CEN) level or
be done nationally or for specific user communities regionally as well as internationally.
This European Standard provides an informative overview of this series of standards and includes rules for
using the components defined in the other parts and on conformance claims.
