ISO DIS 19426-1

Description / Abstract: This document specifies the terms and definitions used throughout ISO 19426.

Terms used in mining may vary from conventional engineering usage, and they vary quite considerably between different countries. For this reason alternative terms are provided in the case of many of the definitions, but the terms defined are those used throughout ISO 19426.

However, it is assumed that persons using this document are familiar with mining, so common terms with normal dictionary usage are not defined. Also, no definitions are provided for terms which may be widely used in mining but are not explicitly used in ISO 19426.
