scope:

This International Standard defines terms relating to human exposure to mechanical vibration and shock. Terms which have already received a standard definition in ISO 2041, which this vocabulary is intended to supplement, are not included; nor are many unspecialized terms which, although they may be relevant to the scope of this terminology, are readily to be found in general, technical, medical or scientific lexicons. A few synonyms have been included among terms defining directions of vibration and shock affecting man, where widespread use of the synonym is still current. The use of the primary standard term, underlined and entered first, following the numerical identifier, is, however, recommended; and the use of ambiguous synonyms is deprecated.
