Soil quality - Vocabulary
This International Standard defines a list of terms used in the preparation of the standards in the field of soil quality. The terms are classified under the following main headings: – general terms (terms relating to soil, soil materials, land, and sites); – description of soil (soil characteristics, soil water, properties of soils and substances, processes in soil, contamination, pollution, background content); – sampling (general terms, sample types/sampling type, sampling stages, execution of sampling, quality control samples, sample pretreatment); – terms relating to the assessment of soils (quality, assessment of soil and sites with respect to risk, hazard and exposure, soil protection); – remediation (general terms, principal remediation types, engineering-based methods,

About This Item
TS EN ISO 11074 is a vocabulary standard that harmonises the terminology used in the field of soil quality. It brings together the key terms needed to describe soil, land, sites, sampling, assessment and remediation, so that technical communication in environmental and soil-related work is consistent and unambiguous.
How the terminology is organised
The scope arranges the terms into main headings. General terms cover soil, soil materials, land and sites. Soil description includes soil characteristics, soil water, soil properties and substances, processes in soil, as well as contamination, pollution and background content. This organisation matters because soil quality work often combines field investigation, laboratory analysis and environmental interpretation, all of which depend on using the same concepts in the same way.
The sampling section includes general terms, sample types and sampling types, sampling stages, sampling execution, quality control samples and sample pretreatment. In general technical practice, these distinctions are important because the representativeness and handling of a sample affect how results are interpreted. The standard’s vocabulary supports clearer documentation and more reliable communication between field teams, laboratories and assessors.
Assessment and remediation terminology
The standard also covers terms related to the assessment of soils and sites with respect to quality, risk, hazard and exposure, together with soil protection. In addition, it includes general remediation terms and the principal remediation types, including engineering-based methods. In broader technical context, this vocabulary is used to describe contaminated or impacted land, to frame risk-based decisions and to distinguish between different approaches to site improvement and cleanup.
This record represents a withdrawn edition of the standard, but its subject remains a useful reference for understanding the conceptual structure of soil quality terminology in environmental practice, soil science and site assessment.
