Terminology standards in development

Within ISO/TC 262 a group of experts are part of a terminology coordination group, TCG 1, their role is to coordinate the terminology in ISO/TC 262 projects and documents. ISO/TC 262 WG 8 is also currently reviewing the foundations for terms used in ISO/TC 262. 

TCG 1 and WG 8 take into consideration the approaches outlined in existing standards such as: ISO 704:2009 Principles and Methods for terminology work, ISO 10241-1:2011 Terminology entries in standards, ISO 15188:2001 Project management guidelines for terminology standardization and ISO 860:2008 Harmonization of concepts and terms.

The underlying goal of all this work is to encourage a “shared language” for communication between the great diversity of stakeholders in managing risk and by so doing improve their performance in each achieving their objectives.
