Erläuterungen und Hinweise zur VDI-Richtlinie 3780, 1991; It is here that we must differentiate between “technical” and “non-technical” values. A value is described as “technical” when it immediately refers to technical products and processes. All the other values can be referred to as “non-technical” because they describe real or possible facts and actions concerning nature, individual and society. In their content these values are “non-technical”, but in their practical meaning they are not (page 28).
