ISO 23584-2:2012根据ISO 13584-42、ISO/IEC指南77-2和IEC 61360-1中规定的规则，规定了光学和光子学领域标准化产品特性的参考词典。 属性是根据标准化属性确定的。为了确保最佳的明确性，标准化属性被划分为定义类，形成所谓的标准化“参考层次结构”。

ISO 23584-2:2012, on the basis of the rules set forth in ISO 13584-42, ISO/IEC Guide 77-2 and IEC 61360-1, specifies a reference dictionary of standardized product properties for the area of optics and photonics. The properties are determined on the basis of standardized attributes. To ensure optimum unambiguity, the standardized properties are classified into definition classes forming a so-called standardized "reference hierarchy".
