TS 4295-2 ISO 1956-2

TS 4295-2 ISO 1956-2 is a trilingual terminology standard that organises morphological and structural terms for selected fruits and vegetables in Turkish, English and French. Standards of this kind help ensure that the same physical features are described with the same meaning across languages, reducing ambiguity in trade, education, technical writing and cataloguing.

How the terminology is structured

Morphological terms relate to the visible form of a fruit or vegetable: overall shape, parts, surface features and other externally observable characteristics. Structural terms focus more on the internal or part-by-part organisation of the specimen, such as texture, layers, relative arrangement of components and other distinguishing physical features. The main function of this standard is therefore linguistic alignment, not testing or grading; it establishes a shared vocabulary for describing these products consistently.

Where this vocabulary is used

Such terminology is useful in agricultural documentation, technical glossaries, teaching materials and international communication. In the fruits and vegetables sector, consistent form-and-structure terminology helps distinguish products that may look similar but differ in important physical details. In general technical context, it supports precise description of what part or feature is being named. The standard itself is focused on terminology rather than on product performance, numerical limits or laboratory methods.
