Rakesh,

What you are looking for is a document called ISO 14289 (PDF/UA). It's still under development at this time (we're at the 3rd Committee Draft stage), so it's not yet an International Standard (we hope to get there by early next year).

I would not advise you to develop on the basis of this draft, as it may change. That said, access to the draft is a function of participation in the PDF/UA effort.

More information is available here:
