Given the variety of transposing instruments out there, I'd avoid any of these details, and leave it that some instruments are conventionally notated at a different pitch from their sounding pitch, typically notated one tone higher (so-called B-flat instruments) or a minor third lower (so-called E-flat instruments) than they sound. And leave out the term `concert pitch' for this --- concert pitch just means that the sounded A is at 440Hz, and doesn't really affect the written notes. I can play in concert pitch on my B-flat clarinet, but can't with my Renaissance recorder (because it's pitched to A=460Hz), despite the clarinet music being transposed and the recorder music not transposed.
I'll wait until we have a consensus from those that know more about this than I before make any edits.
However once everyone is happy with some text let me know and I can add it to the documentation as required.
