TS IEC 60050-351
International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 351: Control technology
This part of IEC 60050 gives the general terminology used in control technology, as well as
general terms pertaining to specific applications and associated technologies. This new
edition reviews and complements the previous one. . It has the status of a horizontal standard
in accordance with IEC Guide 108, Guidelines for ensuring the coherency of IEC publications
– Application of horizontal standards.
This terminology is consistent with the terminology developed in the other specialized parts of
the IEV.
This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the
preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of
horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The content of this horizontal
standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

About This Item
TS IEC 60050-351 is the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary section devoted to the terminology of control technology. It provides a shared technical language for control systems and their related applications, helping engineers, standards writers and technical committees use key terms with consistent meaning across the field.
How the terminology supports control engineering
In general technical terms, control technology deals with how a process, machine or system is made to follow a desired behaviour through measurement, evaluation and corrective action. Core concepts in the field commonly revolve around feedback, controllers, sensors, actuators and processes. IEC 60050-351 collects the general terms that support this structure, together with terms related to specific applications and associated technologies.
Why this horizontal vocabulary matters
This part is designed primarily as a horizontal terminology reference rather than as a prescriptive application standard. Its role is to support the preparation of other IEC publications, especially where consistent wording is needed across multiple technical areas. The terminology is aligned with the broader IEV system, which helps reduce ambiguity when control concepts are used in industrial, manufacturing and process-control documentation.
- Provides shared terminology for control engineering and automation.
- Covers general terms plus concepts tied to specific applications.
- Aligns with terminology used in other specialised IEV parts.
- Intended for use by technical committees preparing IEC publications.
