Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0
Defines two or more ItemVersions to be equivalent out of the view of a certain company. The ItemEquivalence class will most likely be used by a company to express which PartNumber a certain PartVersion has in the context of other companies. However, for every other company separate ItemVersion-instances are needed as the statement of equivalence can be very subjective.
