TS 11000

TS 11000 is a terminology standard that brings together terms and definitions used to describe hazards associated with radiation and hazardous chemical substances. Standards of this kind help prevent the same concept from being expressed in different ways across technical documents, and they support consistent communication in risk assessment, labeling, training, and safety documentation.

What this kind of standard is for

The focus of this standard is the vocabulary used for chemical hazards and radiation hazards. In general technical usage, chemical hazards may arise from properties such as flammability, toxicity, corrosivity, reactivity, or environmental impact. Radiation hazards are associated with sources that emit ionizing or similar energy and can affect living tissue, materials, and the environment. Clear definitions help separate concepts that are often discussed together but are not interchangeable.

How the terminology is used in practice

• Creates a common glossary for radiation- and chemical-hazard language.
• Supports consistency in labels, safety data documents, and training material.
• Reduces ambiguity when the same term is used differently across disciplines.
• Provides a conceptual basis for hazard communication, safety planning, and technical reporting.

The reference source field mentions The Condensed Chemical Dictionary, IS/4155 (1966), and Directive 67/548/EEC. For this record, the verifiable core content is that the document functions as a glossary covering terms and definitions related to radiation and hazardous chemical substances; it is therefore a terminology reference rather than a product specification or a test-method standard.
