Scope

Defines approximately 400 terms in general use throughout the rubber industry and supplies corresponding French and Russian equivalents where applicable. The vocabulary is limited to general-use terminology and does not attempt to include every product-specific or highly specialized term; such terms are covered in more specific product or test-method vocabularies. The 2012 edition served as the international reference until later revisions.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized definitions of general rubber-industry terms (composition, processes, testing, product types and properties).
• Trilingual presentation (English / French / Russian) with cross-references and indexes to assist translation and harmonization.
• Inclusion of symbols and abbreviated terms alongside full definitions where applicable.
• Organization in English alphabetical order with indices to facilitate lookup.
• Intended to be used as normative vocabulary in standards, technical reports and regulatory texts.

Typical use and users

Used by standards committees, technical writers, translators, quality and R&D engineers in the rubber and polymer sectors, testing laboratories, procurement specialists and regulatory authorities to ensure consistent interpretation of terminology in specifications, test methods and product documentation.

Related standards

ISO 1382:2012 superseded ISO 1382:2008 and itself was later revised by ISO 1382:2020 (subsequent editions continue to refine and update the vocabulary). Other related ISO and national vocabulary and test-standards for rubber (and product-specific vocabularies) should be consulted for specialized terminology.
