ISO 13381-1:2015为预测过程的开发和应用提供了指导。其目的是 -允许开发人员、提供商、用户和制造商分享共同的预测概念， -使用户能够确定准确预测所需的数据、特征、过程和行为， -概述预测发展的适当方法和过程，以及 -引入预测概念，以促进未来的系统和培训。 其他部分将包括以下预测方法形式的概念介绍:性能变化（趋势）方法（ISO 13381-2）、循环驱动寿命使用技术（ISO 13381-3）和使用寿命剩余模型（ISO 13381-4）。

ISO 13381-1:2015 provides guidance for the development and application of prognosis processes. It is intended to - allow developers, providers, users and manufacturers to share common concepts of prognostics, - enable users to determine the data, characteristics, processes and behaviours necessary for accurate prognosis, - outline appropriate approaches and processes to prognostics development, and - introduce prognostics concepts in order to facilitate future systems and training. Other parts will include the introduction of concepts of the following forms of prognostic approaches: performance changes (trending) approaches (ISO 13381-2), cyclic-driven life usage techniques (ISO 13381-3), and useful-life-remaining models (ISO 13381-4).
