Overview

SIST IEC 60050-102:2026/A2:2026 is the second amendment to Part 102 of the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV), focusing on Mathematics – General concepts and linear algebra. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this amendment updates terminology and definitions related to linear algebra and fundamental mathematical concepts within the electrotechnical field.

As an essential reference for professionals dealing with technical vocabulary in engineering and applied sciences, this amendment ensures consistency and clarity in mathematical terms used internationally in electrotechnical standards. It complements the ongoing development of the IEV hosted at www.electropedia.org.


Key Topics

  • General Mathematical Concepts: Refinements to the definitions and descriptions of foundational mathematical ideas, improving their precision for electrotechnical applications.
  • Linear Algebra Updates: Specific enhancements targeting vector spaces, subspaces, and geometric entities such as lines within point spaces.
  • Terminology Consistency: The amendment standardizes the vocabulary for key linear algebraic concepts, such as "straight line," ensuring uniform understanding across international technical documents.
  • Technical Committee 1 (Terminology): The changes are based on approved change requests processed by IEC’s dedicated terminology committee, reflecting expert consensus and practical needs.

Example update:

  • Definition of a straight line as a 1-dimensional subspace of a point space, expressed mathematically through a position vector formula incorporating scalar multiplication within a vector space.

Applications

  • Electrotechnical Standards Development: Helps standardization bodies and committees use consistent mathematical language throughout technical specifications, ensuring clarity and interoperability.
  • Engineering Documentation: Enables engineers to adopt universally accepted definitions when writing reports, designing systems, or communicating complex mathematical models.
  • Educational Resources: Supports educators and students in electrotechnics by providing authoritative terminology for mathematics within electrical engineering contexts.
  • Software and Modeling Tools: Provides precise vocabulary for developers of simulation software and mathematical modeling packages focused on electrotechnical and scientific computations.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60050 Series: The International Electrotechnical Vocabulary series covers various domains such as electrical technology, electronics, telecommunications, and energy systems. Part 102 is one among several parts dedicated to mathematical and scientific lexicons.
  • ICS 01.040.07 – Natural and Applied Sciences Vocabularies: This classification relates to scientific vocabularies, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of standardizing language in technical sciences.
  • ICS 07.020 – Mathematics: Relevant for standards involving mathematical terminologies commonly used across multiple engineering disciplines.

By ensuring precise and internationally agreed definitions for fundamental mathematical concepts and linear algebra, SIST IEC 60050-102:2026/A2:2026 plays a critical role in advancing uniformity and accuracy in electrotechnical documentation worldwide. For professionals working at the intersection of mathematics and engineering, this amendment provides a reliable vocabulary foundation essential for innovation and collaboration.
