TS EN 13306

TS EN 13306 is a terminology standard for maintenance. It establishes the common language used to describe maintenance activities, functions, and related concepts, helping professionals distinguish between terms such as maintenance, repair, failure, availability, and service continuity. This listing is withdrawn, but the subject remains a core reference area in maintenance engineering and industrial service management.

Why maintenance terminology matters

Maintenance is the combination of technical and administrative actions intended to retain or restore an item so that it can perform its required function. A terminology standard does not describe how to carry out maintenance tasks in the field; instead, it aligns the meaning of the words used in planning, reporting, asset management, and performance analysis. That shared vocabulary is especially valuable in manufacturing, infrastructure, transport, and facilities operations, where precise communication affects reliability and service continuity.
