TS ISO 2382-22

TS ISO 2382-22 is a vocabulary standard devoted to calculators within the broader field of information processing systems. It organises selected terms, their definitions, and the relationships among entries so that the same technical concepts can be understood consistently across languages and specialist contexts. Its subject is the main operating processes, types, functions, and technical parts of calculators.

In general technical terms, a calculator is a device designed to perform numerical operations. The category ranges from simple hand-held instruments to more advanced scientific and programmable models. Vocabulary standards of this kind are useful because they distinguish the name of a device from its function, component, or operating mode, helping manufacturers, users, and translators refer to the same concept with the same meaning.

How the terminology is organised

A key feature of this standard is that it does more than list terms: it also identifies conceptual relationships between entries. That makes it easier to see how a function relates to a mode of operation, or how a technical part fits into the larger device concept. The definitions are drafted to avoid language-specific peculiarities as far as possible, which supports translation and consistent technical usage.

Technical scope covered by this part

• main operating processes of calculators
• types of calculators
• functions and intended uses
• technical parts and components
• definitions of selected terms and their relationships

This record indicates that TS ISO 2382-22 is a withdrawn standard, so the description here is intended to clarify its technical subject rather than suggest current validity. As part of the ISO 2382 vocabulary structure, it still represents a defined terminological area within information technology and office-machinery terminology.
