Ingenieurdienstleistungen - Terminologie zur Beschreibung von Ingenieurdienstleistungen für industrielle Produkte
Diese Europäische Norm enthält ein Glossar von Begriffen, das die Bedingungen für freien Wettbewerb fördern und einen Beitrag für gleiche Wettbewerbsbedingungen für Anbieter von Ingenieurdienstleistungen in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft in Bezug auf industrielle Produkte leisten kann.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt die geistigen Dienstleistungen, die für die Umsetzung von Anforderungen in praktische Lösungen notwendig sind, ausgehend von deren Konzeption über die Realisierung bis zum Betrieb sowie während des Lebenszyklus eines Arbeitsproduktes wie Gebäude, Industrieprodukte usw.
Die Terminologie soll die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Partnern im Bereich der Ingenieurdienstleistungen (en: Engineering Services, ES) erleichtern.
Sie ist auf der Grundlage von Abschnitten im Lebenszyklus eines industriellen Produkts strukturiert. Sie ist keine Beschreibung der Inhalte der auszuführenden Aufgaben, weder in Bezug auf deren zeitliche Planung, noch hinsichtlich der betroffenen Akteure, die vom nationalen Kontext, den Auftraggebern, der Art und Bedeutung des Produkts und dessen Umgebung abhängen.
Die Hauptbegriffe werden im Hinblick auf die Abdeckung des Lebenszyklus von industriellen Produkten definiert. Diese Begriffe gelten für sämtliche Sektoren z. B. Luft- und Raumfahrt, Automobilindustrie, Investitionsgüter.
Services d'ingénierie - Terminologie destinée à décrire les services d'ingénierie pour les produits industriels
La présente Norme Européenne contient un glossaire de termes qui peut contribuer à instaurer des conditions loyales pour la libre concurrence en Europe, entre les prestataires de services d’ingénierie portant sur les produits industriels.
La présente Norme Européenne traite des services intellectuels nécessaires pour convertir les besoins en solutions pratiques, depuis la conception jusqu’à l’exploitation, en passant par la réalisation et ce, pendant toute la durée du cycle de vie d’un produit tel que des ouvrages, produits industriels, etc.
Le but de la terminologie est de faciliter la coopération entre les partenaires dans le domaine des services d’ingénierie (SI).
Sa structure est basée sur les phases du cycle de vie d’un produit industriel. Elle ne concerne ni la description du contenu des tâches à accomplir, ni leur planification, ni les acteurs concernés qui dépendent du contexte national, des clients, du type et de l’importance du produit et de son environnement.
Les principaux termes sont définis de manière à couvrir le cycle de vie des produits industriels. Ces termes sont applicables à tous les secteurs, tels que par exemple : aéronautique, automobile, matériel d’équipement.
Inženirske storitve - Izrazi za opisovanje inženirskih storitev za industrijske izdelke
Ta evropski standard vsebuje glosar izrazov, ki lahko prispevajo k izpolnitvi pogojev svobodne konkurence in enakih pogojev sodelovanja za ponudnike inženirskih storitev v Evropi v povezavi z industrijskimi izdelki. Ta evropski standard obravnava intelektualne storitve, ki so potrebne za preobrazbo potreb v praktične rešitve, od njihove zasnove do realizacije in delovanja ter med življenjskim ciklusom delujočih izdelkov, kot so zgradbe, industrijski izdelki itd. Terminologija namerava omogočiti sodelovanje med partnerji na področju inženirskih storitev (ES). Njihova struktura temelji na stopnjah v življenjskem ciklusu industrijskega izdelka. Ni opis vsebine opravil, ki jih je treba izvesti, njihovega razporejanje, udeleženih akterjev, ki so odvisni od državnega konteksta, strank, vrste in pomembnosti izdelka ter njegovega okolja. Definirani so glavni izrazi, ki zajemajo življenjski cikel industrijskih izdelkov. Ti izrazi se uporabljajo v vseh sektorjih, npr. v aeronavtiki, avtomobilski industriji, osnovnih delovnih sredstvih.

Overview
EN 16311:2013 (CEN) is a European standard that provides a glossary of terminology for engineering services related to industrial products. Its purpose is to create a common vocabulary that supports free competition and a level playing field for engineering services providers across Europe. The standard covers intellectual services needed to transform needs into practical solutions through the entire life cycle of a product - from conception and design, through realization and operation, to end-of-life management.
Key topics
- Scope and intent: Defines terms to facilitate cooperation between partners in cross‑border and multi‑disciplinary engineering projects; not a prescriptive work plan or task schedule.
- Core definitions: Includes standardized meanings for terms such as engineering, engineering services, contract, life cycle, stage, project management, configuration management, quality assurance, and product.
- Life-cycle staging (Annex A): Describes stages and sub-stages used as a reference framework:
- Initiation (requirements definition, feasibility, project definition)
- Product and process design (conceptual, preliminary, basic, detailed design; verification/validation; documentary synthesis)
- Implementation (tooling, facilities, manufacturing process, testing, start of production)
- Operation (product support, upgrades, maintenance and repairs)
- End of life (decommissioning, dismantling, disposal, recycling, refurbish/overhaul, reuse)
- Non‑harmonization note: The standard explicitly avoids harmonizing national plans of work; instead it offers terminology and a staging reference to help parties map project-specific scopes.
Applications
- Use EN 16311:2013 to align terminology in:
- Cross-border engineering contracts and procurement documents
- Tendering and scope-of-work definitions for industrial projects
- Project management, configuration and quality assurance processes
- Communication between clients, consultants, manufacturers and regulators
- Sectors: applicable across industries such as aerospace, automotive, capital equipment and other industrial manufacturing domains where consistent engineering language improves collaboration and reduces misunderstandings.
Who should use this standard
- Engineering consultancies and multidisciplinary design teams
- Client organisations and procurement officers preparing contracts
- Legal and commercial teams involved in engineering service agreements
- Project managers, configuration managers and quality assurance professionals
- National standards bodies and cross‑border project consortia
Related standards
- EN 16310 - related terminology for buildings, infrastructure and industrial facilities
- EN ISO 9000, EN ISO 14040, EN ISO 14021, ISO 10007, ISO/FDIS 21500 - referenced standards for quality, life-cycle assessment, configuration management and project management
Using EN 16311:2013 helps standardize engineering language, improve contractual clarity, and reduce risk in international industrial engineering projects.
