ETSI launches the STF 652 on Harmonised User-centric Terminology for ICT Devices and Services

This Specialist Task Force (STF) aims at developing  a set of user-centred, accessible and harmonized terminology recommendations intended to improve the overall user experience and accessibility.
 
The work is covering commonly used, basic ICT features of current and upcoming ICT devices, services and applications, focusing on a mobile context. It proposes a user-centered, harmonized terminology of mobile ICT device (4 groups) and service and applications (12 groups) functions, focusing on communication in mobile contexts of use.
 
This STF can be seen as a follow-up of two previous STFs: firstly, STF 540 which has established and published the first version of the ETSI Guide 203 499 (
version 1.1.1) in August 2019 applied to five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, secondly, STF 604 which has established and published the second version of the ETSI Guide 203 499 (version 2.1.2)  in July 2022 applied to fourteen additional languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak and Swedish.
