International Union of Railways - Standard Terminology

Standard Terminology

In order to provide a common understanding and reduce potential confusion, the UIC has established standard international railway terminology as well as a trilingual (English-French-German) thesaurus of terms. The thesaurus was the result of cooperation between the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) and UIC and was published in 1995.

Famous quotes containing the word standard:

    As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment.
    Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 1 (1991)
