European Definitions

RESIN project

The RESIN project [1] gives the following definition:

Infrastructure refers to all public and private facilities which are considered to be necessary for adequate public services and economic development. In most cases, the infrastructure is divided into technical infrastructure (e.g. transport and communications facilities, energy and water supply or wastewater disposal) and social infrastructure (e.g. schools, hospitals, shopping or cultural facilities). [2]



Other International Definitions

NATO CEP / EAPC

Infrastructure is defined as: The framework of interdependent networks and systems comprising identifiable industries, institutions (including people and procedures), and distribution capabilities that provide a reliable flow of products and services, the smooth functioning of governments at all levels, and society as a whole. [3]

Germany

Infrastructure refers to all public and private facilities which are considered to be necessary for adequate public services and economic development. In most cases, the infrastructure is divided into technical infrastructure (e.g. transport and communications facilities, energy and water supply or wastewater disposal) and social infrastructure (e.g. schools, hospitals, shopping or cultural facilities). [5]


Or in German:

Infrastruktur bezeichnet alle staatlichen und privaten Einrichtungen, die für eine ausreichende Daseinsvorsorge und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung als erforderlich gelten. Die Infrastruktur wird meist unterteilt in technische Infrastruktur (z. B. Einrichtungen der Verkehrsund Nachrichtenübermittlung, der Energie-und Wasserversorgung oder der Entsorgung) und soziale Infrastruktur (z. B. Schulen, Krankenhäuser, Einkaufsstätten oder kulturelle Einrichtungen). [6]


Norway

The basic structures and systems necessary for an organisation, a collection of organisations, or a country to function effectively. [7]
Grunnleggende strukturer og systemer som er nødvendige for en organisasjon, en samling organisasjoner eller et land for å fungere på en effektiv måte. [8]

Structures and systems are “Technical installations and equipment, and related administrative and organisational measures.”

Switzerland

Infrastrukturen: Der Sammelbegriff Infrastrukturen umfasst Einrichtungen und Organisationen, welche Dienstleistungen und Produkte für die Gesellschaft, die Wirtschaft und den Staat liefern. [9]

Die Infrastrukturen werden in drei Ebenen eingeteilt:

  • Sektoren: z. B. Energie, Finanzen, Gesundheit
  • Teilsektoren: z. B. Stromversorgung, Erdölversorgung, Erdgasversorgung
  • Einzelobjekte/Elemente: z. B. Leitstelle für Netzbewirtschaftung, Steuerungssysteme, Hochspannungsleitungen, Staudämme, Rohrleitungen

Infrastructures: Le terme générique d’infrastructures recouvre les installations et les organisations qui fournissent des services et des produits à la société, à l’économie et aux pouvoirs publics. [10]

Les infrastructures critiques sont subdivisées en trois niveaux:

  • secteurs: p. ex. énergie, finances, santé
  • sous-secteurs: p. ex. approvisionnement en électricité, en pétrole, en gaz naturel
  • objets ou éléments individuels: p. ex. centres de coordination de réseaux, systèmes de commande, lignes à haute tension, barrages, canalisations



United States

The framework of interdependent networks and systems comprising identifiable industries, institutions (including people and procedures), and distribution capabilities that provide a reliable flow of products and services essential to the defense and economic security of the United States, the smooth functioning of government at all levels, and society as a whole; consistent with the definition in the Homeland Security Act, infrastructure includes physical, cyber, and/or human elements.
