What does 1A 100PIV mean, etc few examples?

I want to understand what manufacturers mean when they say

Rectifier Diode 1A/ 100PIV
Rectifier Diode 1A/ 200PIV
Zener 10V 1 Watt
Zener 22V 5 Watt
Full Wave Bridge Rectifier 1 Amp 100 PIV

I dont understand if that is what it can handle, what it can output, the drop across it, what?

Is it saying for example, the zener only allows 10V as a regulator in reverse bias?
Is it saying the Rectifier diode only allows 1A through
Does the bridge rectifier handle 120VAC voltage in both conditions, what?

Thank you

1A/ 100PIV is 100 volts Peak Inverse Voltage with a 1amp maximum reverse current.
10V is the voltage required to "avalanche" the diode to conduct in the reverse bias. Watts is the power rating.

Diodes and rectifiers are usually rated in maximum forward current and peak inverse voltage. The 1A could mean the diodes current rating forward bias not reverse. 1 amp is a very high reverse current.I just never seen it written like you have it. Usually it will say something like this : PIV = 100v Ir = 3ma Io = 1 amp
