While there is not a commonly accepted definition of critical infrastructure (CI), all definitions emphasize the contributing role of a critical infrastructure to the society or the debilitating effect in the case of disruption. Another common characteristic is that they are complex in their structure, which makes the issue of dependencies an important topic.

European Definitions
Council Directive 2008/114/EC
Other International Definitions
NATO CEP / EAPC
UNISDR
UNISDR refers to "Critical facilities" as
Critical facilities are considered as elements of the infrastructure that support essential services in a society.
National Definitions
Australia
In this context, significant means an event or incident that puts at risk public safety and confidence, threatens our economic security, harms Australia’s international competitiveness, or impedes the continuity of government and its services.
Belgium
France
Vital infrastructure is any establishment, facility or structure for which the damage, unavailability or destruction as a result of a malicious action, a sabotage or terrorism action could directly or indirectly:
- if its activity is difficultly substitutable or replaceable, severely burden the war potential or economic potential, the national security or the survivability of the nation
- or to seriously affect the population’s health or life.The French original version is:
Point d’importance vitale (PIV): tout établissement, installation ou ouvrage dont le dommage ou l’indisponibilité ou la destruction par suite d’un acte de malveillance, de sabotage ou de terrorisme risquerait, directement ou indirectement:
- si son activité est difficilement substituable ou remplaçable, d’obérer gravement le potentiel de guerre ou économique, la sécurité ou la capacité de survie de la nation,
- ou de mettre gravement en cause la santé ou la vie de la population. [6].
The French government doesn’t use the notion of “criticality” but the notion of “vitality” with the meaning of essential service or infrastructure.
Germany
The German language definition is:
Netherlands
The Dutch language version is:
"This could be in the form of tremendous casualties and severe economic damage, or in terms of an extremely lengthy recovery period and a lack of any readily available viable alternatives, while we depend on these products and services. Because the consequences of this critical infrastructure – or parts thereof – could be so dire for large segments of the Dutch population, extra attention must be given to its protection. Accordingly, this protection is designed to prevent disruption and concerns the protection against technical-organisational failings, overloading, and extreme natural phenomena or intentional or unintentional human action."(In Dutch: "Dat kan zijn omdat er sprake is van veel slachtoffers en grote economische schade, dan wel wanneer herstel zeer lang gaat duren en er geen reële alternatieven voorhanden zijn, terwijl deze producten en diensten niet gemist kunnen worden."
Poland
United Kingdom (UK)
The United Kingdom (UK) defines national infrastructure as:
In the approach of the UK, infrastructure is categorised according to its value or “criticality” and the impact of its loss. This categorisation is done using the Government “Criticality Scale”, which assigns categories for different degrees of severity of impact.
Not everything within a national infrastructure sector is “critical”. Within the sectors there are certain “critical” elements of infrastructure, the loss or compromise of which would have a major detrimental impact on the availability or integrity of essential services, leading to severe economic or social consequences or to loss of life. These “critical” assets make up the nation's critical national infrastructure (CNI) and are referred to individually as “infrastructure assets”. Infrastructure assets may be physical (e.g. sites, installations, pieces of equipment) or logical (e.g. information networks, systems).
USA
Standard Definition
ISO/IEC TR 27019:2013
The standard notes that a failure or malfunction of such organizations and facilities would result in sustained supply shortfalls, make a significant impact on public security and have other wide ranging impacts.
