7、 Industry Standards Committee, in order to standardize and to co-ordinate the technical terms in current use in mining in the UnitedKingdom. Although the majority of the terms are necessarily concerned with coalmining, account has been taken of terms used in other forms of mining and of quarrying. T
8、he need for this glossary arose from the widely varying interpretation of terms used within the industry, and the prevalent use of more than one synonym, some purely local in origin, to indicate specific meanings. The glossary has been issued in a number of sections, according to subject matter as f
9、ollows: Section 1: Planning and surveying; Section 2: Ventilation; Section 3: Boring and exploration; Section 4: Drainage; Section 5: Geology; Section 6: Drilling and blasting; Section 7: Electrical engineering and lighting; Section 8: Winning and working; Section 9: Shafts and associated equipment;
10、 Section 10: Transport; Section 11: Strata control. As Section1, “Planning and surveying”, this was the first publication in the BS3618 series. In the normal process of periodical review it was seen that a number of modifications and additions were desirable; therefore, since the previous edition wa
11、s issued as long ago as1963, it was decided to publish a revision incorporating these changes. In compiling the glossary account has been taken of the fact that terms primarily associated with coal are separately defined in BS3323, “Glossary of coal terms”, and terms relating to coal preparation are
12、 defined in BS3552, “Glossary of terms used in coal preparation”. The following factors also have applied in the statement, selection and definition of terms: 1) Where two or more terms are grouped together, the term which is favoured is printed first and in heavy type. It is hoped that such preferr
13、ed terms will gradually displace the non-preferred terms. The non-preferred terms of a group are printed in small capital letters. Where the use of any term is considered to be undesirable it is marked deprecated. 2) Generally, only terms which have a specific meaning in this field have been include
14、d. Where a technical term has an accepted meaning in other fields of engineering it has been omitted; the few exceptions are terms which are of particular importance in mining. 3) Purely local terms are not defined, but those of sufficient importance are included as non-preferred terms. 4) Obsolete
15、terms are excluded.BS3618-1:1969 BSI 12-1999 iii A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.
