ICS 01 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "GENERALITIES. TERMINOLOGY. STANDARDIZATION. DOCUMENTATION". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 10628 standards classified under ICS 01 (GENERALITIES. TERMINOLOGY. STANDARDIZATION. DOCUMENTATION). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

IEC TS 60870-5-601:2015(E) describes test cases for conformance testing of telecontrol equipment, Substation Automation Systems (SAS) and telecontrol systems, including front-end functions of SCADA. The use of this part of IEC 60870 facilitates interoperability by providing a standard method of testing protocol implementations, but it does not guarantee interoperability of devices. It is expected that using this part of IEC 60870 during testing will minimize the risk of non-interoperability. The goal of this part of IEC 60870 is to enable unambiguous and standardised evaluation of IEC 60870-5 companion standard protocol implementations. The guidelines and conditions for the testing environment are described in IEC 60870-5-6. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- resolving ambiguities and inconsistencies between IEC 0870-5-101:2003 and IEC TS 60870-5-601:2006;
- enhancements and optimisation of test cases which are needed to prove conformance with IEC 60870-5-101:2003.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60870-5-101:2003

This document:
defines terms for identity management and specifies core concepts of identity and identity management, and their relationships;
is applicable to any information system where information relating to identity is processed or stored;
is considered to be a horizontal document for the following reasons:
it applies concepts such as distinguishing the term “identity” from the term “identifier” on the implementation of systems for the management of identity information and on the requirements for the implementation and operation of a framework for identity management,
it provides an important contribution to assess identity management systems with regard to their privacy-friendliness and their ability to assure the relevant attributes of an identity, and consequently it provides a foundation and a common understanding for any other standard addressing identity, identity information, and identity management.

This document specifies the terms and definitions related to the structures for mine shafts, used throughout ISO 19426 series. Terms used in mining can vary from conventional engineering usage, and they vary quite considerably between different countries. For this reason, alternative terms are provided in many of the entries. The preferred terms, given in bold type, are those used throughout ISO 19426 series. It is assumed that users of this document are familiar with mining, so common terms with normal dictionary usage are not defined. Also, no definitions are provided for terms that can be widely used in mining but are not explicitly used in ISO 19426 series.

IEC 81346-14:2026, published jointly by IEC and ISO, provides, in combination with IEC 81346‑1 and IEC 81346‑2, rules and recommendations on the structuring of systems and the information on systems of manufacturing systems. It also provides additional classification schemes to those of IEC 81346‑2 for use in reference designations within manufacturing systems. It is published as a double logo standard.
The structuring principles and the classes of objects are intended to provide a clear identification and localization of the objects, and for use in their labelling in the manufacturing plant, for their designation in technical documents and for the designation of the technical documents as well.
The requirements in this document apply for processing, transportation and storage of products, as well as for systems to support the manufacturing process such as electrical systems, management systems and waste disposal systems.
This document applies to different areas within the manufacturing industry such as light industry, electrical and optical industry, chemical industry, material industry and heavy industry.
This document is not applicable for designations related to product individuals (e.g. inventory number, serial number) nor to the products manufactured.
This document is also a horizontal publication intended for use by technical committees in preparation of publications related to reference designations in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.

The scope of this TR is a Public Transport common glossary to harmonise terms and definitions from existing data dictionaries.
The methodology consisting of highlighting the differences between various use contexts arises from a number of factors, many of them practical:
1) The facts of history. Many of the legislations, as noted (especially EU Regulations, EC Delegated Regulations and EC Implementing Decisions), already have mandatory application of varying scope, and the regulatory bodies would be most unlikely to consider it worthwhile to actually modify them in line with some list of precise terms developed after the fact.
2) The diversity of practices and use-cases which have been included in the Public Transport domain. Especially as a result of the need for this domain to cover multi-modality and developing technologies, and the increasing requirement for Public Transport to interact with wider domains such as Road Traffic Management, there are bound to be some deeply embedded terms which have been used in different senses in different domains.
3) The differing nature and working practices involved in the legislative, regulatory and technical standardisation processes, and their relationship both to one another and to real-world implementors of Public Transport services.
4) The prior existence of a well-established and precise set of Conceptual Models, including terms and definitions, in the Transmodel ecosystem. This is self-consistent and clearly defined and is being maintained on a continuous basis. However, its use in a legislative context is by “delegation”, which may do little to decrease the possibility of regulations themselves making use of some terms in a sense not intended by Transmodel itself.
The format of the glossary will be structured around following sections:
- Contexts: Summary of the contexts in which the term or phrase is defined.
- Related terms: Phrases in which the term is used, either as an element in a compound (e.g. the term “access” vs “access right” or where a related term is used which carries a notably different association (e.g. the term “access” vs “accessibility”, where the latter has a precise meaning in some contexts).
- Concept: Where it is possible to identify a unifying concept among the various definitions. An informal or explanatory summary of that concept. Where it is not possible, a note of that fact.
- Harmonisation: Containing references and links to the definitions in their contexts and the suggested conventions for citing them in contexts other than those where they are defined.
- Source references: Links to definitions of the exact term in their contexts.
- Usage recommendations: Recommendations for how the terms should be cited in contexts outside that in which the term is defined.
