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
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
0.1 General
With global waste generation on the rise, municipalities must consider more efficient waste collection
and transportation management, including the interoperability and safe use of equipment or
technologies.
Hence, it is important to agree on a set of harmonized terms and definitions to provide a common basis
for communication and information exchange on waste collection and transportation management.
This will help to minimize ambiguity, confusion and misunderstanding of terms used in the waste
management industry.
This document enables users to understand the scope of the work of ISO/TC 297 and is the source
document for the terms and definitions of ISO/TC 297. Where a term and definition are required in a
single document, the term and definition will be referenced in that document.
These terms and definitions will serve as the basis for a common language for regulations, standards,
academia, research and training in the waste management industry.
0.2 Vocabulary structure
The arrangement of terms and definitions in this document is based upon terms corresponding to
“waste management” and “collection and transportation” in the waste collection and transportation
management field. The organization of terms is illustrated in Figure 1.
