Integrated generic resources
- Part 41 - Fundamentals of product description and support
- Part 42 - Geometric and topological representation
- Part 43 - Representation structures
- Part 44 - Product structure configuration

- Part 46 - Visual presentation: Works in combination with part42 and allows to specify how to display 2D or 3D geometric models together with annotation data. The original design intend was that data according to this part could be displayed by computer systems supporting the Graphical Kernel System or PHIGS. Today other display interfaces such as OpenGL for 3D and Java 2D are more appropriate to display part 46 based data.
- Part 47 - Shape variation tolerances: This part supports the representation of Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing principles for computer sensitive data exchange. But it does not cover how to present the data for humans.

Application Protocol
The 'APs' utilize the lower-level information of integrated resources in well defined combinations and configurations to represent a particular data model of an engineering or technical application.
- Part 201 - Explicit draughting. Simple 2D drawing geometry related to a product. No association, no assembly hierarchy. Practically a subset of AP202 and 214.
- Part 202 - Associative draughting. 2D/3D drawing with association, but no product structure. Practically a subset of AP214.
- Part 203: Configuration controlled 3D designs of mechanical parts and assemblies. Mainly used for 3D design and product structure. A subset of AP214 but most widely used.
- Part 204 - Mechanical design using boundary representation
- Part 207 - Sheet metal die planning and design
- Part 209 - Composite and metallic structural analysis and related design
- Part 210 - Electronic assembly, interconnect and packaging design. The most complex and sophisticated STEP AP.
- Part 212 - Electrotechnical design and installation. Designed as a complement for AP214, but not fully harmonized with it.

ATS - Abstract test suite
An ATS is a formal description on how to test STEP implementations for conformance. They contain a test plan for postprocessors (exporting STEP data) and preprocessors (importing STEP data). The structure of an ATS is defined in part 34.
The original plan of STEP was to have for every AP 2xx a corresponding ATS 3xx, but only a few were finally realized till today.
- Part 304 - Abstract test suite: Mechanical design using boundary representation
- Part 307 - Abstract test suite: Sheet metal die planning and design
AIC - Application interpreted constructs
AICs are specializations of the integrated application and generic resources. This is done by subtyping interfaced entities and adding further constraints and rules. No new stand-alone entities are created and no new explicit attributes are added. Most AICs are specializations in the geometric area. AICs did not exist back in 1994 when the first release of STEP got published. But when the 2nd generation of APs grows up it becomes clear that APs do not only share not only the IRs but also a lot of specializations. AICs are a big step towards AP interoperability.
