TS ISO 6426-2

TS ISO 6426-2 is a terminology standard for the horological field, bringing together the technical and commercial terms used in watch and clock manufacturing and related trade. It supports a common understanding of the principal concepts associated with time-measuring instruments and related devices, which helps reduce ambiguity in design, production, servicing and commercial communication.

Why technical and commercial terminology both matter

In horology, precise wording is important because the same item or function may be described differently depending on whether the context is engineering, repair, documentation or sales. Technical terms usually refer to movement construction, performance, accuracy and function, while commercial terms support product description, classification and market communication. This standard focuses on the vocabulary used around time-measuring instruments and related devices, providing a shared language for the industry.

Where this vocabulary is used

General technical context makes this kind of standard useful in product literature, training material, technical files and professional correspondence. In horological practice, standardized vocabulary helps distinguish components, operating principles and product characteristics without relying on inconsistent local usage. This TSE edition corresponds to the ISO 6426-2:2002 text with corrigendum, so it serves as the Turkish-language record of that terminology framework.
