This standard describes the procedure for the provision of works standards from MAN
Nutzfahrzeuge AG (MAN) for external users.
This process instruction applies for all supplies of production materials and general materials with
framework agreement and for suppliers, who require access to MAN works standards in advance of
development and delivery agreements.
The purpose of this standard is the instruction for the regular, autonomous and independent updating
of the stock of MAN works standards valid for the external user, in order to guarantee compliance with
the guidelines in line with the quality assurance systems required by MAN.
2 Duties of suppliers with framework agreement
Suppliers with framework agreement (responsible party) are obliged to inform the responsible departments
within their company of the standards of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG that have been provided.
The responsible departments at the supplier are obliged, to immediately check the updated works
standards of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, which form the basis of the agreement with MAN, and to advise
the responsible production material buyer at MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG immediately (at the latest
8 weeks after provision of the standard) if the deliveries cannot be carried out appropriately.
The obligation to secrecy applies and is to be confirmed by the supplier. This obligation especially
points out that only those standards may be downloaded by the supplier which are necessary for
executing the Agreement with MAN.
3 Brief description of procedure
Since the beginning of the year 2001 those works standards of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG which
are relevant for suppliers have been available on the Internet. All the users in line with the above scope
receive an access authorisation, which authorises the user to search and download the standards
provided (only those required according to the agreement).

M 3335 : 2008-04
• The page Overview of all works standards lists several hundred MAN works standards. The standard
required can be found with the aid of the scroll bar.
• In addition, text strings, which may be a concrete works-standard number (eg MAN 239) or also only
a part of a works-standard title (eg EMP), can be searched for with the browser's search function.
• In numerous cases, alongside the German language standards, the listings also include foreign language
versions. These versions are defined by the addition of a language designation to the works-standard
number. Fig. 5.3.1 shows the German-language version “M 3008” and the English-language version
“M 3008 EN”. Further language designations are: FR=French, PL=Polish, IT=Italian, SP=Spanish,
TR=Turkish.
7 Obligation to secrecy
Within the framework of the provision process in line with this standard, the Non-Disclosure Agreement applies
for each external user who is included in this process as a result of the agreement with MAN, and this must be
confirmed.
