TS EN ISO 128-100

TS EN ISO 128-100 is a technical product documentation standard that provides a multilingual index of the terms used in the ISO 128 series. It brings together the terminology of general principles of representation in a structured reference form, making it easier to locate, compare and cross-check terms across the series.

The index role within the ISO 128 series

In technical product documentation, consistent terminology matters as much as graphic convention. The subject of this document is not drawing rules or dimensioning practice itself, but an index of the terms used throughout the ISO 128 family. That kind of index helps users connect a concept with the correct term, find related definitions faster, and maintain terminological consistency across different parts of the series.

From a general technical standpoint, indexes are especially useful in multilingual standards collections. Technical drawing vocabulary often spans viewpoints, lines, representation methods, symbols and explanatory terms that are closely related but not interchangeable. A reference document of this kind does not define the whole technical system on its own; instead, it exposes the terminology backbone of the standard family and supports consistent use across languages and disciplines.

• Provides a structured reference point for terms used in the ISO 128 series.
• Brings together English, French, German, Chinese, Russian and Japanese term equivalents.
• Supports searching, term matching and consistency in technical drawing vocabulary.
• Helps compare linguistic equivalents used in general principles of representation.
