This International Standard estab-lishes a vocabulary of terms used in connection with anaesthetic and respiratory equipment and supplies, related devices and supply sys-tems.
NOTE 1 This International Standard is based on standards and drafts which have been produced by ISO/TC 121 and CEN/TC 215.
NOTE 2 A policy of repeating the term has been adopted when the term falls in several categories. When the definition changes according to the context, the term is cross-referenced.
NOTE 3 In addition to terms and definitions used in two of the three offi-cial ISO languages (English and French), this International Standard gives the equivalent terms in the German language; these are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany. However, only the terms and definitions given in the offi-cial languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
