This standard applies to Hearing Aid Fitting Management (HAFM) services offered by hearing aid professionals (HAP) when providing benefit for their clients. The provision of hearing aids relies on the practices of a hearing aid professional, to ensure the proper fitting and adequate service in the interest of the client with hearing loss.

This standard specifies general processes of HAFM from the client profile to the follow-up through administering, organising and controlling hearing aid fitting through all stages. It also specifies important preconditions such as education, facilities, and systems that are required to ensure proper services.

The focus of this standard is the services offered to the majority of adult clients with hearing impairment. It is recognized that certain groups of hearing loss such as children, persons with other disabilities or persons with implantable devices may require services outside the scope of this standard.

Hearing loss can be a consequence of serious medical conditions. Hearing aid professionals are not in a position to diagnose or treat such conditions. When assisting clients seeking hearing rehabilitation without prior medical examination hearing aid professionals must be observant of symptoms of such conditions and refer to proper medical care.

Further to the main body of the standard, that specifies the HAFM requirements and processes, several informative annexes are provided. Proper education of hearing aid professionals is vital for exercising HAFM. Annex A defines the competencies required for the HAFM processes; Annex B offers a recommended curriculum for education of hearing aid professionals. Annex C is an example of an appropriate fitting room. Annex D is a guidance on referral of clients for medical or other specialist examination and treatment. Annex E is a recommendation for important information to be exchanged with the client during the course of HAFM. Annex F is a comprehensive terminology list offering definitions of most current terms related to HAFM.

It is the intention that these annexes will be helpful to those who wish to deliver HAFM of the highest quality.

This document defines multi-point gestures for common system actions used in information and communication technology (ICT) systems. It specifies movements for clear and classified gestures recognized by the systems and applications. The multi-point gestures are performed using an input device (e.g. multi-touch pad, multi-touch screen, etc.) or body parts (e.g. fingertips, hands, etc.). These multi-point gestures are intended to operate in a consistent manner regardless of systems, platforms or applications.

The gestures for common system actions denote system level functions and common functions across applications of ICT systems. The system level functions are executed at a system or a platform level. They include initiation, resume, restart and termination of an application, etc. The common functions across applications are commonly executed among applications of a system or a platform. The functions include navigation of menus, opening an object, closing an object, etc.

NOTE ICT systems include, but are not limited to, digital televisions, set-top boxes, video game consoles, communication devices, internet devices, entertainment devices, and personal computers (PCs).

This document specifies a method for the determination of selected polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in non-filtrated waters, for example drinking water, natural water (fresh water and sea water) and waste water containing less than 2 g/l solid particulate material (SPM) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The compounds monitored by this method are typically the linear isomers. Other isomers may be reported separately as non-linear isomers and qualified as such. The group of compounds determined by this method are representative of a wide variety of polyfluorinated compounds. The analytes specified in Table 1 can be determined by this method. The list can be modified depending on the purpose for which the method is intended. The lower application range of this method can vary depending on the sensitivity of the equipment used and the matrix of the sample. For most compounds to which this document applies ≥ 0,2 ng/l as limit of quantification. Actual levels may depend on the blank levels achieved by individual laboratory.

The applicability of the method to further substances, not listed in Table 1, or to further types of water is not excluded, but needs to be validated separately for each individual case.

The user should be aware that each analyte has its own specific optimum conditions and therefore modification of the analyte list could require the specification of additional conditions for each additional parameter.

NOTE 1 Polyfluoroalkyl substances will be used in this document to describe the analytes monitored. Many of the compounds in Table 1 are perfluorinated and are also considered polyfluoralkyl substances

NOTE 2 In this document linear PFAS isomers are specified. The non-linear isomers may be present in environmental samples, especially for PFOS. Analysis of individual non-linear isomer of PFAS is described in Annex E.

The transport stability of packages is a vital part of transport safety and the possibility of securing the cargo on different types of Cargo Transport Units (CTUs). This European standard specifies the requirements and different methods for testing the transport stability of packages. A package means the complete product of the packing operation, consisting of the packaging and its contents prepared for transport. The transport stability of the packages is divided to different levels depending on the capability to withstand the forces during the transport. This transport stability of the packages requires different types of CTUs and/or securing methods to obtain a safe cargo securing during the entire transport. Before the package is prepared for the transport it can be defined as a handling unit without any transport packaging material to obtain transport stability. The minimum requirement for the stability of the handling unit is set to obtain a safe handling both before and after the transport. The aim of the different test methods is to define the Transport Stability Level (TSL) of a package or handling unit.

This International Standard specifies the application of the time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) technique to the semi- or fully automated ultrasonic testing of fusion-welded joints in metallic materials of minimum thickness 6 mm. It applies to full penetration welded joints of simple geometry in plates, pipes, and vessels, where both the weld and the parent material are low-alloyed carbon steel. Where specified and appropriate, TOFD can also be used on other types of materials that exhibit low ultrasonic attenuation (especially that due to scatter).

Where material-dependent ultrasonic parameters are specified in this document, they are based on steels having a sound velocity of (5 920 ± 50) m/s for longitudinal waves, and (3 255 ± 30) m/s for transverse waves. It is necessary to take this fact into account when testing materials with a different velocity.

This document makes reference to the basic standard ISO 16828 and provides guidance on the specific capabilities and limitations of TOFD for the detection, location, sizing and characterization of discontinuities in fusion-welded joints. TOFD can be used as a stand-alone method or in combination with other non-destructive testing (NDT) methods or techniques, for manufacturing inspection, and for in-service inspection.

This document specifies four testing levels (A, B, C, D) in accordance with ISO 17635 and corresponding to an increasing level of testing reliability. Guidance on the selection of testing levels is provided.

This document permits assessment of TOFD indications for acceptance purposes. This assessment is based on the evaluation of transmitted, reflected and diffracted ultrasonic signals within a generated TOFD image.

This document does not include acceptance levels for discontinuities.

This International Standard provides design requirements and guidance for the manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment for use in all kinds of mobile (including hand-held) agricultural machinery, forestry machinery, landscaping and gardening machinery [referred to hereafter as machine(s)].
