18.3 PrimaryPartType

The primary type of the part defines the type of the part (e.g. ConnectorHousing, Fixing, etc.) Since the VEC supports dual use parts (e.g. Fixing & WireProtection) the primary part type is necessary to define which specification associated to part is the primary character of the part. Therefore, all primary part types correspond to a PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification (e.g. ConnectorHousing --> ConnectorHousingSpecification).

The primary part type 'Other' is used if the PartVersion is not further specified by the VEC, which means it has no PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification, only a GeneralTechnicalPartSpecification or a direct instance of PartOrUsageRelatedSpecification.

The Enumeration is defined in Table 90.
