The Product
Since Release 13.0, the ECLASS Standard includes enhancements for the Asset Administration Shell (AAS). In terms of the data model, a new Application Class of type "Asset" has been introduced in addition to BASIC and ADVANCED.
In Release 13.0, Asset Application Classes were created for all classes on the fourth level in the segments 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 27, 28, 32, 33, 36, 49, 50 and 51. In addition, the so-called "submodel templates" for the AAS were created as aspects at the content level and were added to the Asset AC in these classes. In addition to the BASIC and ADVANCED representation, ECLASS e.V. publishes a derivation of the type "Asset". This contains all Asset Application Classes including the submodel template aspects.

Update 18.03.2025:
Note: There is a misleading meaning with the property “product article number of manufacturer” (IRDI 0173-1#02-AAO676#005). You are only affected if using the property “product article number of manufacturer”.
Due to a change request, misleading information in “preferred name” and “definition” were assigned to IRDI 0173-1#02-AAO676#005 “product article number of manufacturer”. The misleading meaning only affects ECLASS Release 15.0, but unfortunately extends to almost all application classes.
As the Identifyer (AAO676) of the affected property is unchanged, you can continue to use ECLASS Release 15.0 as usual. Further information and notes on the implementation of ECLASS Release 15.0 can be found in the Known Bugs.

New since ECLASS 14.0
In Release 14.0, Asset ACs were added to all classes on the fourth level if none were already available. The newly added Asset ACs have no content and are named "Asset (empty)". This means that ECLASS provides Asset ACs in all classes for the first time.
Furthermore, there are four new aspects for the Asset AC:
- "Technical data"
- "Carbon Footprint"
- "Service Request Notification"
- "Contact information"
