TS EN 16311
Engineering services - Terminology to describe engineering services for industrial products
This European Standard contains a glossary of terms, which can contribute to the conditions for free competition and a level playing field for engineering services providers in Europe in regard to industrial products. This European Standard deals with the intellectual services necessary to transform needs into practical solutions from their conception, through realisation to operation and during the life cycle of a working product such as buildings, industrial products etc. The terminology aims at facilitating the cooperation between partners in the field of Engineering Services (ES). Its structure is based on stages in the life cycle of an industrial product. It is not a description of the contents of the tasks to be executed, neither on their scheduling, nor on the actors concerned who depend on the national context, the clients, type and importance of the product and its environment. The major terms are defined covering the lifecycle of industrial products. These terms are applicable to all sectors, for example: aerospace, automotive, capital equipment.

About This Item
TS EN 16311 is a glossary standard that defines the terminology used to describe engineering services for industrial products. It establishes a shared language for engineering-services stakeholders so that needs, solutions and life-cycle concepts are understood consistently across the field.
A life-cycle-based vocabulary for engineering services
The standard is organised around the life cycle of an industrial product. In general technical terms, this means it groups the vocabulary around the successive stages through which a product moves: from the emergence of a need, through conception and realisation, to operation and the later life-cycle phases. That structure helps separate the language of engineering services from the specific content of any one project.
According to the abstract, the document does not describe task content, scheduling, or the actors involved, since those depend on national context, the client, the product type and its environment. Instead, it focuses on the major terms that support cooperation between partners in Engineering Services and that can be applied across sectors such as aerospace, automotive and capital equipment.
- Provides a common vocabulary for engineering services.
- Uses the industrial product life cycle as its organising principle.
- Helps translate needs into practical solutions in conceptual terms.
- Applies broadly across industrial sectors.
- Does not prescribe task content, timing or project roles.
