1 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this Standard is to define specialist terms and abbreviations that must
be used within London Underground and its Suppliers.
2 Scope
2.1 This Standard applies to all Category 1, 2 and 5 Standards and the Railway Safety
Case (and successor documents). It applies to technical and financial documents
where applicable and communications between London Underground and its
Suppliers.
2.2 Definitions of terms and abbreviations that are contained within the Oxford English
Dictionary are not specifically included.
3 Requirements
3.1 Definitions
3.1.1 Defined Terms and Abbreviations are detailed in Appendices A and B of this standard.
3.1.2 Where a specialised technical term or abbreviation is used as defined in clause 2.1,
the term or abbreviation shall have the meaning as defined in this standard.
--`,`,```,`,`,,,,`,,`,,,```,`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
3.1.3 Where there is more than one definition for a term or abbreviation, a numeric
sequence number, in bold, is included immediately after the term entry. Thus, in the
following example there are two uses of the term, Traction Supply; one taken from the
Glossary and one from the Master Definition Agreement. Either one is valid
depending upon the context in which it is being used.
Term Definition
Traction means the electricity supply that provides power to operate the
Supply(1) Trains;
Traction The nominal 630/750V d.c. electrical supply obtained by the
Supply(2) vehicle, via collector shoes, from the conductor rails or via a
shed receptacle, from either a trolley jumper or gap jumper.
3.2 Change process

3.2.1 Where there is a regular requirement to use a term or abbreviation that is not defined
within this standard the term or abbreviation shall be submitted to the Standards
Management Team.
3.3 Evidence of compliance

3.3.1 Compliance with the requirements of this standard shall be demonstrated to LU by
each party contracted to LU. Additionally LU may audit compliance as part of its
surveillance regime.
Reference: S1622 A32 Page 3 of 278

Number: S1622
Issue no: A32
4 Responsibilities
4.1 LU shall be responsible for incorporating the requirements of this standard in any
contract to which it is relevant and shall stipulate that a programme of audits are
implemented by the contractor that ensures these requirements are complied with.
4.2 The Supplier is responsible for ensuring that all specialised terms and abbreviations
used in communication with LU comply with the spelling and definitions held within this
standard.
5 Supporting information
5.1 Background
5.1.1 This version of the Glossary includes terms and abbreviations from the Master
Definitions Agreement (of the PPP Contracts) and is consistent with other intranet
based glossaries for example the financial glossary and the LU „jargon buster‟.
However, this glossary does not contain all the terms and definitions from the jargon
buster where they are redundant or not in regular use.
5.2 Safety considerations

5.2.1 There are no special safety considerations applying to the requirements defined in
this standard.
5.3 Environmental considerations

5.3.1 There are no special environmental considerations applying to the requirements
defined in this standard.
5.4 Customer considerations

5.4.1 For communications to the general public, terms from the Oxford English Dictionary
shall be used. Where it is unavoidable to use an LU-specific term or abbreviation in
customer communications, the Glossary definition shall also be included for the sake
of clarity.

Consequential loss This is a much misunderstood term and certainly is capable of many
(wrong) interpretations, mainly because the legal and insurance definitions
of consequential loss are different. In law, consequential loss = indirect
(unforeseeable losses), these are not normally recoverable through the
Insurance process. The layman and the insurance industry uses the term
to mean direct (foreseeable) financial losses usually following some
physical loss or damage. This definition can be extended to include
financial losses which do not flow from physical loss or damage but
insurers continue to refuse to provide cover for unforeseeable
(consequential) loss. If people mean financial loss following direct
property damage, eg loss of profits, then such a definition is acceptable.
Furthermore, in such a circumstance the loss is insurable and included in
Public Liability covers. Related terms: Direct Loss/indirect Loss)

on view) with allowance for clothing. The requirements of the Standard 1-
150 are based upon 400 TV lines per picture height and a Johnson Criteria
factor of 1.5, thus ensuring that at least 3 cycles are overlaid over the
minimum width of 150mm. This calculates to 48mm per cycle. The
captured image is increased proportionally to compensate for lower
resolution where 3 and 4 images are processed onto one screen. The
Detection rate or Conspicuity value has been set to be 95% for the
system, details of how this is all calculated can be found in Attachment 3 of
LU Manual of Good Practice G-150 using the CCTV Nomograph.

assured would be paid. In some cases a decreasing debt is imposed. The
amount of debt reduces each year over a number of years, which may be
less than the full term in an endowment assurance, so that the sum
assured payable on death rises each year to the point where the full sum
assured would be payable.

which the contractor wilt be held responsible and has a duty to put right at
his own expense. The contractor may be able to insure for the
consequential losses arising from such loss or damage. For example, the
roof collapses and results in damage to the roof supports, the roof itself
and the walls of the building. If the defect was the design of the roof
supports, they are excluded but all of the other damage would be covered

Indemnity A principle whereby the insurer seeks to place the insured in the same
financial position after a loss as was occupied immediately before the loss
(as far as possible). The principle does not apply to life assurance.
Indemnity to Principal - Many contracts entered into by a contractor
(particularly in the construction industry) require that the contractor's
insurance policies be extended to 'indemnify the principal in like manner to
the insured'. At first sight it would seem that the principal (employer) also
automatically becomes an insured under the contractor's policy, but this is
misleading. Policies usually say "if the insured so requests, Insurer will
also provide an indemnity to a principal under a contract". If, for some
reason, a contractor would not involve his insurers, the principal would not
have the protection it was seeking. Related term: Joint Names

Loss 1) The disappearance of the subject of an insurance eg by theft, rather
than its survival in a damaged state. 2) Another term for a claim - generally
one of the following: Actual Total Loss - Where the item insured is actually
destroyed; where it ceases to be a thing of the kind insured; or where the
insured is irretrievably deprived of it. Constructive Total Loss - Where the
item insured is reasonably abandoned on account of its actual total loss
being inevitable or where its preservation, repair or retrieval would cost
more than its actual value when preserved or repaired
Loss adjuster Independent qualified loss adjusters are used by insurers for their
experience and expertise necessary to carry out detailed and, in some
instances prolonged, investigations of complex and large losses. Although
the adjuster's fees are invariably paid by the insurers he is an impartial
professional person and makes his judgement on the amount to be paid in
settlement solely on the basis of established market practice. It is his task
to negotiate a settlement which is within the terms of the policy and
equitable to both insured and insurer. Should he himself not be an expert in
a particular discipline which is necessary or desirable to pursue his
negotiations, he will consult or employ such an expert. In many cases it is
advisable for an insured to also obtain the services of a loss assessor to
negotiate with the person appointed by insurers.
Loss assessor A person who, in return for a fee (usually a percentage of the amount
claimed), acts for the claimant in negotiating the quantum of the claim.
Loss assessors are usually encountered in respect of household claims.

health or disability.
Loss ratio The ratio of claimed paid or payable to premiums earned.
