Introduction

This part of ISO 4046 defines terms, in English and French, related to paper-making. It is part of the ISO 4046 series of standards, which document the terminology of paper, board, pulp and related terms.

The layout of this standard is based on ISO 10241:1992.

The following information will facilitate the use of this part of ISO 4046.

a) Entry items are listed in alphabetical order of the English terms. The equivalent French term is listed in the adjacent column.
b) In order to prepare the index for the ISO 4046 series of standards (ISO 4046-1), entry items are numbered 3.X, where “3.” indicates that the term is located in this part of ISO 4046, i.e. ISO 4046-3, and “X” is the entry number.
c) Each entry item is structured as follows (but does not necessarily include all of these elements):
- — preferred term or abbreviation COUNTRY SYMBOL, gender, (number)
- — admitted term COUNTRY SYMBOL
- — 〈subject field〉 definition................term in another entry..............[source standard]
- — cf. term (used to reference related entries)

  NOTE Text of the note.
d) In those cases where equivalent terms do not exist or have not been found to define a concept in both English and French, a five-dot symbol (. . . . .) is used to indicate the term in that language for which no term exists.
e) Words which are terms defined in the ISO 4046 series are boldfaced in the body of a definition. Please refer to the global index (ISO 4046-1) to find these terms within the series of standards.
f) If a given term designates more than one concept, these are treated as separate entities and are differentiated by a number in brackets which follows the preferred term.
g) English spellings are based on the Concise Oxford Dictionary (Oxford University Press).

This part of ISO 4046 was prepared by Working Group 6 of Technical Committee 6 (ISO/TC 6/WG 6). This Working Group is concerned with terminology related to paper, board and pulps.
