Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

Introduction
To ensure that communication in the domain of rock drill rigs is effective and that difficulties in
understanding are minimized, it is essential that the various stakeholders use the same concepts and
concept representations.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups:
— machine manufacturers;
— mining companies;
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others that can benefit from a standardised terminology are:
— machine operators;
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance;
— third party system and technology providers.
