This standard BS ISO 18405:2017 Underwater acoustics. Terminology is classified in these ICS categories:

• 01.040.17 Metrology and measurement. Physical phenomena (Vocabularies)
• 17.140.30 Noise emitted by means of transport
• 17.140.01 Acoustic measurements and noise abatement in general

This document defines terms and expressions used in the field of underwater acoustics, including natural, biological and anthropogenic (i.e. man-made) sound. It includes the generation, propagation and reception of underwater sound and its scattering, including reflection, in the underwater environment including the seabed (or sea bottom), sea surface and biological organisms. It also includes all aspects of the effects of underwater sound on the underwater environment, humans and aquatic life. The properties of underwater acoustical systems are excluded.
