本标准定义了一种通用的可互操作格式，该格式将用于a）大规模集成（LSI）、b）此类LSI的封装，以及c）互连封装LSI的印刷电路板的设计。这些设计统称为LSI封装板（LPB）设计。该格式提供了一种通用方法，用于指定有关LPB设计中使用的项目管理、网表、组件、设计规则和几何图形的信息/数据。

This standard defines a common interoperable format that will be used for the design of a) large-scale integration (LSI), b) packages for such LSI, and c) printed circuit boards on which the packaged LSIs are interconnected. Collectively, such designs are referred to as LSI-Package-Board (LPB) designs. The format provides a common way to specify information/data about the project management, netlists, components, design rules, and geometries used in LPB designs.
