Abstract Proposals for standardization of terms and notations are presented. Electroheat terminology in the multilingual International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV), published buy the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is used as a basis. However, some deviations and extensions are also discussed and proposed, for adaptation to the usage in modern literature in the subject area. A list of selected terms and notation is given. Some main proposals are the use being the relative permittivity and the loss factor; and to define the penetration depth by the perpendicular plane wave case 1/e power density. Key Words: Microwave notation, Microwave power terminology, Microwave heating terminology, Electroheat terminology, Electroheat process classification, Electroheat classification, High frequency terminology, Dielectric heating terminology, Penetration depth definitions, Decay depth, Mode designation, Polarization designation.
