DIN Media only grants the right of use (the AI license). Operating an internal, encapsulated AI system, using the purchased DIN PDFs within it, and taking responsibility for the results all lie with the customer. The “human-in-the-loop” principle applies: results should always be checked against the original document. From a legal perspective, the user is responsible for decisions based on AI output. 

The ReqIF converter is currently available as a module. It uses a language model and rule-based logic to enrich requirements from standards and to quickly identify and classify requirement objects. 

The DIN AI license requires DIN membership, the internal reproduction right for DIN standards, and the purchase or subscription of the relevant documents. Under these conditions, the documents may be used in internal, encapsulated AI applications for the duration of the license. Details are governed by the respective contracts. 

The number of accesses is determined by the mandatory reproduction right for DIN documents, not by the AI license. 

The AI license applies to a defined set of standards (currently DIN, except VDE; ISO may follow). The specific license variant governs how digitally acquired DIN documents may be used. 

We currently deliver standards documents in PDF and XML (NISO-STS). Other formats, including JSON, can also be provided via corresponding services (APIs) where practical. 

There is currently no comparable AI license offering for these standards. The aim is to be able to offer AI licenses for other standards bodies as well. We are in contact with them (e.g., ISO).
