ISO 13567 is an international computer-aided design (CAD) layer standard.
The standard is divided into three parts:
Standard has been developed by Technical Committee TC 10 (Technical product documentation) Subcommittee SC 8 (Construction documentation); Refer. ICS: 01.110; 35.240.10.
CAD layer names are structured as a series of mandatory and optional fixed length fields, composed as a continuous alpha-numerical text string.

(unlimited, additional subdivision or help plain description): description or subdivision.
- (hyphenation)Used for all possible values of a specific character position. For no further subdivision use the hyphen character [4]_ (underscore) Where a field is not being used or a decision has not been made [4]
In practice, application of ISO 13567 fields can lead to short names (only mandatory fields), or much longer names (use of some or all optional fields in complex projects).
Agent is Architect, using ISO 13567 and Uniclass or CI/SfB Classification System.
