2 Normative references

What this clause covers

Clause 2 is one line of substance and one rule of reading. The mobile standard does not restate the whole design process. It points at 26514:2022 for the process, the information structure and the general requirements, and it uses this draft for the mobile setting. That makes 26514 a required companion, not background reading. It also fixes the edition. The wording in the preview is the standard dated reference formula: only the edition cited applies. A team that owns the 2018 edition of 26514, or the 2008 edition of the old 26514, does not hold the referenced text.

What to put in place before publication

1. Get lawful access to ISO/IEC/IEEE 26514:2022 and record the edition and the date it was obtained.
2. Map your existing information development process to 26514:2022 rather than assuming the process is equivalent.
3. Note the places where 26514:2022 leaves a choice and where this draft makes a mobile specific demand.
4. Keep the reference list in the help plan, with the edition year and a link to the ISO record.
5. Remove undated or older citations from procedures that claim to follow the family.

Evidence to keep

Where teams usually fall short

• The team cites 26514 without an edition, so nobody knows which text is in use.
• A national adoption is used as a substitute without checking that it matches the 2022 edition.
• The 26514 process is assumed to cover mobile, so no mobile specific work is planned.

What happens next

If ISO revises 26514, this clause will need a new dated reference in the FDIS. Watch the 26514 record as well as this one, and re-map when either text moves.
