Frequently Asked Questions
ICS 01.040 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Vocabularies". 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 6670 standards classified under ICS 01.040 (Vocabularies). 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.

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.

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.

IEC TR 63439-1-2:2026 specifies a comprehensive study of the robotic technologies in power systems, including generation, transmission, and distribution. The primary objectives are:
a) System overview and classification
Analyze current robotic applications across all power system segments (generation, transmission, and distribution), developing a comprehensive classification framework that categorizes robots by operational scenarios (substations, power lines), functional roles (inspection, repair), and environmental conditions (high-voltage zones, confined spaces).
b) Core technology assessment
Evaluate fundamental robotic technologies encompassing mobility platforms (ground robots, drones, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), navigation systems (GPS, LiDAR, vision-based), and communication networks (wired/wireless/hybrid); assess functional capabilities through multi-sensor inspection (visual, thermal, ultrasonic) and maintenance operations (live-line work, cleaning, debris removal), and examine integration aspects with power grid management systems including data protocols and cybersecurity requirements.
c) Testing and validation framework
Establish performance benchmarks for core robotic functions including autonomous navigation, inspection accuracy, and operational efficiency, while developing reliability testing methods that incorporate failure mode analysis (FMEA/FMECA) and environmental stress testing under extreme conditions.
d) Standardization roadmap
Conduct a gap analysis of current power robotics standards (including IEC/TC129) to identify deficiencies, while systematically mapping stakeholder requirements to prioritize standardization needs across hardware, software interfaces, and safety protocols; develop the roadmap with clear timelines for creating new standards, facilitating adoption, and ensuring compliance verification across the industry.

IEC 61512-1:2026 applies to systems, specifications, and their use for implementing batch and related procedure-oriented manufacturing controls in the process industries. This document establishes a reference model framework for procedure-oriented control, defines terms to help explain the model relationships and usage, and describes general criteria for evaluating conformance. This follows the principle of separation between recipe procedural elements and equipment procedural elements enabling operations to define recipes without the need of changes in equipment procedures.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Models and text are modified to provide more detail and clarity. Key clarifications are:
1) Two types of equipment modules are defined: generic and recipe-aware. All recipe-aware equipment modules contain procedural control and can be used as phases in the recipe.
2) Execution of all procedural control contained directly in units is part of the Unit Supervision activity.
3) The relationships between types of recipes, recipe components, and equipment control are more fully described and illustrated.
4) Entity relationship diagrams have been replaced with more intuitive UML instance diagrams, except for the equipment entity model.
5) The transition diagram for the procedural states example has been updated with a more intuitive and complete UML state diagram.
6) References to other standards in the series and to IEC 62264 are included to provide direction for further clarification of selected topics.
7) Activity names are capitalised to help prevent confusion with similar terms, such as their underlying functions.
b) Previous Clauses 4 through 6 (now Clauses 4 through 8) were rearranged to provide a clearer top-down organisation of the document. Key changes are:
1) Removing the lower levels of the physical (role-based equipment) model (see 4.4.2) to eliminate redundancy because their groupings are defined by the associated functionality in the equipment entity model and are not meaningful for batch control without those associations.
2) Describing equipment control and the equipment entity model immediately after the physical (role-based equipment) model and describing each level as completely as possible without excessive use of forward references (see 4.4.3).
3) Combining the descriptions of basic, procedural, and coordination control with their usage in each type of equipment entity, providing a single consolidated discussion of each type of control (see Clause 5)
4) Additional considerations to support application of the models have been grouped in Clause 7 to clarify their supporting relationship to the core models.
c) Clause 9 was added to define completeness, compliance, and conformance in relation to this document.
d) Annex B was added to provide a more expansive procedural state reference model. The model found in Clause 7 can be considered a collapsed version of this more general model.
e) Annex C was added to clarify a number of points concerning the models, their application, and the new Clause 9 on conformance and compliance.
f) Annex E was added to more fully describe the changes in this update to IEC 61512-1:1997.
