IfcControl

Definition from IAI: The IfcControl is the abstract generalization of all concepts that control or constrain products or processes in general. It can be seen as a specification, regulation, cost schedule or other requirement applied to a product or process whose requirements and provisions must be fulfilled. Controls are assigned to products, processes, or other objects by using the IfcRelAssignsToControl relationship.

EXAMPLE  Controls are e.g., space program, cost schedules, order, work plan, etc.
NOTE  Some basic items, such as cost value, approval, or constraint are directly attachable to products and processes using the association relationship subtypes of IfcRelAssociates.
