其中，Verilog硬件描述语言（HDL）的定义，在这个标准。 Verilog的HDL是一个正式的符号中的电子系统创建的各个阶段使用。因为它既是机读和人类可读的，它支持开发，验证，综合，硬件设计和测试，对数据通信的硬件设计，以及维修，改装和硬件采购。这个标准的主要对象是工具的实现者支持的语言和语言的高级用户。-The Verilog Hardware Descr iption Language (HDL) is defined in this standard. Verilog HDL is a formal notation intended for use in all phases of the creation of electronic systems. Because it is both machine readable and human readable, it supports the development, verification,synthesis, and testing of hardware designs　the communication of hardware design data　and the maintenance, modification, and procurement of hardware. The primary audiences for this standard

are the implementors of tools supporting the language and advanced users of the language.
