TS EN ISO 4135

TS EN ISO 4135 is a vocabulary standard for anaesthetic and respiratory equipment. It brings together the terms and definitions used for this technical field, with the goal of keeping terminology consistent across equipment, related devices, and supply systems. For users, the value of this kind of standard is clarity: the same concept can be identified and discussed without relying on ambiguous local wording.

How the terminology is organised

The document uses a general category, domain specifiers, and unique pre-coordinated domain-specific term names to reduce duplicate definitions of the same term in different categories. In general technical practice, this kind of structure helps distinguish whether a term refers to a device, an accessory, or part of a supply system, which is especially important in closely related medical engineering domains.

What this vocabulary covers

According to its scope, the standard covers terminology used for anaesthetic and respiratory equipment, related devices, and supply systems. It also provides equivalent terms in German, while noting that only the terms and definitions given in the official ISO languages are the formal ISO terms and definitions. As a result, the document is chiefly about controlled language rather than product design requirements or test methods.

• Establishes a shared vocabulary for a specialised medical equipment field.
• Covers anaesthetic and respiratory equipment, related devices, and supply systems.
• Uses structured terminology tools to improve consistency across categories.
• Supports technical documentation, procurement descriptions, and professional communication.
