Revizie

Revizie is a term used in Romanian and several other languages to denote a process of examination, update, or overhaul. In its broad sense, it refers to reviewing something to assess its state, correctness, or compliance, and then making necessary changes. The word derives from Latin revisio, meaning a looking back, via French revision or English, with related terms in many languages.

In technical and industrial contexts, revizie usually means a planned maintenance check or overhaul of machinery, vehicles, or systems. A revizie may involve inspection of components, testing of performance, lubrication, part replacement, and documentation of findings. The aim is to prevent failures, extend life, maintain safety standards, and ensure regulatory compliance. Revizia schedules are typically defined by manufacturers, operators, or regulatory bodies.

In publishing, software, and information management, revizie denotes a version, update, or revision of a document or program. A new revision is assigned a number or identifier as changes are made, enabling traceability of edits and accountability for updates. In governance or accounting, a related usage refers to a formal review or audit process, where records are checked and corrections are proposed.

While the term is most common in Romanian, it appears in regional usage and cognate forms in other languages, sometimes with slightly different emphases on maintenance versus revision. See also: revision, modernization, version control, audit.
