About This Item
TS EN 12526 is a terminology and multilingual vocabulary standard for castors and wheels. It brings together the basic terms, definitions, language equivalents and recommended symbols used for this product family, helping designers, manufacturers and technical writers use the same technical language across documents and languages.
How the terminology supports product identification
Wheels and castors are related but not identical components. A wheel is the rolling element that carries load through rotation, while a castor is typically a wheel assembly in a swivel fork or mounting that can change direction. Keeping these concepts distinct matters in drawings, catalogues, specifications and multilingual documentation, where precise naming prevents confusion.
GENERAL TECHNICAL CONTEXT: In this area, vocabulary standards are about consistency of meaning, not performance requirements or test methods. They are useful wherever castors and wheels are specified in furniture, machinery, housings, containers and other general mechanical applications. Recommended symbols can also support compact and readable technical documentation across languages.
Why a multilingual dictionary format matters
- The standard covers terms and definitions relating to castors and wheels.
- It provides equivalents in multiple languages and recommended symbols.
- Its role is to support consistent terminology in technical documentation and communication.
- It is a vocabulary reference rather than a product testing or certification document.
