Dependency: When a critical infrastructure relies on another critical infrastructure, good or service for continued service provision. [2]
Brazil
(Inter)dependência: relação de dependência ou interferência de uma infraestrutura crítica em outra, ou de uma área prioritária de Infraestruturas Críticas em outra. [3]
(Inter)dependence: dependency relationship or interference of a critical infrastructure with another, or of a Critical Infrastructure priority area with another.
(Inter)dependence: dependency relationship or interference of a critical infrastructure with another, or of a Critical Infrastructure priority area with another.

IT dependency is defined as the situation where "a process depends on IT if the successful implementation of the process depends on the proper functioning of IT". [4]
Ireland
Dependency can be defined as a singularly dependent relationship while Interdependency can be defined as a mutually dependent relationship. [5]
Dependency and Interdependency can be defined as relationships which consider the cascading effect within sector/sub-sectors and/or across sectors/sub-sectors
Italy
Interdipendenza: relazione funzionale tra due sistemi o infrastrutture attraverso la quale lo stato di ogni infrastruttura è correlato allo stato dell’altra, influenzandolo ed essendone reciprocamente influenzato. [6]
Netherlands
Een koppeling tussen twee infrastructuren, waarbij het functioneren van de ene infrastructuur van invloed is op het functioneren van de andere infrastructuur. (a relationship of two infrastructures through which the functioning of one infrastructure is influenced by or is correlated to the functioning of the other infrastructure). [7]

DHS
The one-directional reliance of an asset, system, network, or collection thereof—within or across sectors —on an input, interaction, or other requirement from other sources in order to function properly. [8]
