skos:definition "A 'component' whose functioning does not depend on an external input <br/>
such as actuation, mechanical movement or supply of power.<br/>
A 'passive component' has no moving part, and, for example, only experiences <br/>a change in pressure, in temperature or in fluid flow in performing its <br/>functions. In addition, certain 'components' that function with very high <br/>'reliability' based on irreversible action or change may be assigned to this <br/>category.<br/>Examples of 'passive components' are heat exchangers, pipes, vessels, electrical <br/>cables and 'structures'. It is emphasized that this definition is necessarily <br/>general in nature, as is the corresponding definition of 'active component'. <br/>Certain 'components', such as rupture discs, check valves, 'safety' valves, <br/>injectors and some solid state electronic devices, have characteristics which <br/>require special consideration before designation as an 'active' or <i>passive <br/>component</i>.<br/>Any 'component' that is not a 'passive component' is an 'active component'.<br/>" (en)
