本文件规定了贯穿ISO 19426的与矿井结构相关的术语和定义。 采矿中使用的术语可能与传统的工程用法不同，而且在不同国家之间差异很大。因此，许多条目中都提供了替代术语。以粗体形式给出的首选术语是贯穿ISO 19426的术语。 假设本文档的用户熟悉挖掘，因此没有定义具有正常字典用法的常用术语。此外，对于可在采矿业中广泛使用但在ISO 19426中未明确使用的术语，未提供任何定义。

This document specifies the terms and definitions related to the structures for mine shafts, used throughout ISO 19426. Terms used in mining can vary from conventional engineering usage, and they vary quite considerably between different countries. For this reason, alternative terms are provided in many of the entries. The preferred terms, given in bold type, are those used throughout ISO 19426. It is assumed that users of this document are familiar with mining, so common terms with normal dictionary usage are not defined. Also, no definitions are provided for terms that can be widely used in mining but are not explicitly used in ISO 19426.
