scope:

This part of ISO 10241 addresses the introduction of standardized terminological entries into other cultural and linguistic environments, with emphasis on the adoption of internationally standardized terminological entries by regional or national standardizing bodies. It also establishes guidelines for dealing with certain issues to be considered in this process. It provides examples for and solutions to problems that occur when the adopting standardizing body carries out the following tasks: - adopting internationally standardized terminological entries, - aligning the concept systems of the adopting standardizing body with internationally standardized concept systems, - preparing standardized terminological entries as additions or supplements to internationally standardized terminological entries. Nationally standardized terminological entries developed according to the guidelines in this document can serve as a resource or starting point for standardizing terminological entries at international or regional levels.
