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).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality.

Introduction
This vocabulary gives soil quality terms and their definitions. The previous versions of the vocabular
(ISO 11074:2015 and ISO 11074/Amd.1:2020) presented terms and definitions in separate clauses to
differentiate the terms about e.g., sampling, remediation, etc. This became more and more artificial,
since soil quality experts with different expertise need to work closely together and there is a greater
need for one term list instead of multiple ones, where experts first must find out in which sublist of
the International Standard the specific term could be found. In this new version of the International
Standard the terms are presented in one alphanumeric list.
For some terms, there are different definitions, depending on the context. These terms are presented
after each other, with the differentiating scopes between brackets: . Often this will be a
general and a specific scope, resulting in different definitions.
Though the terms apply for all other ISO/TC 190 Soil quality standards and most terms and definitions
from other ISO/TC 190 Soil quality standards are present in ISO 11074, not all terms and definitions are
taken onboard.
New and revised standards are published continuously though time. The revision periods of soil quality
standards defer. That means that, even if working groups work closely together, definitions of the same
terms can be different in specific soil quality standard and this vocabulary standard.
