Aim. This article aims to eliminate the shortcomings associated with the application of the conventional, yet insufficiently substantiated terms in the GOST 27.002-2015 interstate standard. Correct understanding and use of terms are of great significance for the activities of dependability experts.Methods. Shortcomings in terminology are eliminated by clarifying the definitions of the used terms. Several terms used in this standard were submitted to logical and terminological analysis that is based on statutory requirements and the semantic meanings of such terms. The premises were set forth in [8].Findings and conclusions . Definitions of several new terms, as well as those that do not meet the identified requirements are suggested: “dependability theory”, “dependability estimation”, “dependability calculation”, etc. The expressed considerations could provide the foundation for the adoption of agreed (com[1]promise) solutions.
