What's the best standard to naming parts and components?
(OP)
I have a need to come up with a naming convention for drawing descriptions. Does anyone know of any standards that offer guide lines as to construct a proper character string for components such as electical, hardware, sheet metal plastic parts. etc..?

(section 5 in 2004 edition, non mandatory Appendix C gives even more)
Use ASME Y14.38 for standard abbreviations if necessary.

However, it lays out basic principles and by using it with the terms in 14.38 as required it builds a reasonable guide.
