BS ISO 18458:2015 provides a framework for the terminology on biomimetics in scientific,
industrial, and educational purposes.This International Standard is intended to provide a suitable framework for biomimetic applications.The field of biomimetics is classified and defined, numerous terms are described, and a description of the
process of applying biomimetic methods from the development of new ideas to the biomimetic product
is provided. The limits and potential of biomimetics as an innovation approach or as a sustainability
strategy are also illustrated. In addition, this International Standard provides an overview of the various
areas of application and describes how biomimetic methods differ from classic forms of research and
development. If a technical system is subjected to a development process according to this International
Standard, then it is allowed to be referred to as a "biomimetic" system.This International Standard provides guidance and support for developers, designers, and users who
want to learn about the biomimetic development process and integrate biomimetic methods into their
work aiming at a common language for scientists and engineers working in the field of biomimetics. It
can be applied wherever nature has produced a biological system sufficiently similar to the technical
target system that can be used to develop a technical equivalent.Cross References:VDI 6220-1:2012All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
