Overview

IEC 60050-103:2009/AMD2:2019 represents the Amendment 2 to Part 103 of the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV), focused on Mathematics – Functions. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment updates and refines terminology within the scope of mathematics as applied to electrotechnology. It is an essential reference for professionals working with electrotechnical standards, ensuring consistent and precise use of mathematical terms related to functions.

This standard supplements the existing vocabulary by specifying definitions and clarifications that enhance understanding of key concepts, such as oscillation, in scientific and engineering contexts. It supports seamless communication among engineers, researchers, educators, and standardization bodies.

Key Topics

• Mathematical Functions
  The amendment reinforces the precise definitions of functions used extensively in electrotechnical applications, ensuring accurate modeling, analysis, and communication.

• Oscillation
  A critical term updated in this amendment. Defined as a physical phenomenon characterized by quantities that alternately increase and decrease, oscillation is fundamental to understanding waveform signals, alternating currents, and various dynamic processes in electrotechnology.

  • Note: "Oscillation" may also refer to one complete cycle of such a phenomenon.

• Terminology Maintenance
  This amendment arises from approved change requests reviewed by IEC Technical Committee 1 (Terminology), exemplifying ongoing vocabulary refinement for clarity and international standardization.

• Multilingual Presentation
  The document includes definitions in multiple languages (English, French, Slovenian), reflecting its international scope and accessibility.

Applications

• Engineering and Electrotechnics
  Provides standardized vocabulary essential for designing, analyzing, and documenting electrotechnical systems that rely on mathematical functions.

• Technical Communication
  Facilitates consistent terminology use in technical documents, research papers, manuals, and standard protocols across international platforms.

• Education and Training
  Supports educators and trainers by providing authoritative definitions that improve comprehension of mathematical concepts underpinning electrotechnical principles.

• Standards Development
  Offers a basis for other related standards by clarifying function-related terms within the international electrotechnical vocabulary.

Related Standards

• IEC 60050 - International Electrotechnical Vocabulary
  The parent collection covering a broad range of electrotechnical terms spanning various scientific and engineering domains.

• IEC 60050-103 - Mathematics Vocabulary
  The original Part 103 detailing mathematical terms including functions, recently amended by this document.

• IEC Technical Committee 1 (Terminology)
  The committee responsible for vocabularies and terminologies, ensuring updates like Amendment 2 maintain relevance and precision.

Summary

IEC 60050-103:2009/AMD2:2019 Amendment 2 is a vital update in the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary that sharpens the definitions related to mathematics and functions. By refining key terms such as oscillation, it plays a crucial role in enhancing clarity and uniformity in electrotechnical communications worldwide. Professionals involved in electrical engineering, standards development, and technical education benefit greatly from referencing this amendment for authoritative terminology aligned with international best practices.
