This document provides requirements, best practices, and information to achieve sustained quality in the design, manufacture, performance testing, use, and maintenance of the operator enclosure air quality control system. Control of airborne particulate and dilution of CO2 (which is generated by human respiration) within the operator enclosure are addressed in this document. Recommendations are made for operational integration of the air quality control system. Gases and vapours that may be a hazard in the work environment, outside of the operator enclosure are excluded.

This standard test methodology and resulting field of direct application is applicable to linear joint fire seal materials used to seal around fire door sets which have been tested to ISO 3008-1.

This test methodology uses a smaller scale fire resistance furnace than that prescribed in ISO 3008-1.

This document provides definitions, guidelines and supporting information for evaluating and reporting (in respect of the basic design items ongoing and the operational results of a reference plant or unit as feedback to ensure) the (designed) performance of a PCC plant integrated with the host power plant which separates CO2 from the power plant flue gas in preparation for subsequent transportation and geological storage. The physical system being addressed is a single power plant, optionally with an auxiliary unit to provide thermal energy required for the PCC plant, and a single PCC plant as described in ISO 27919-1.

The formulas and methods presented in this document describe issues that are addressed during the design and construction phases (to assure reliable performance) and to practices that can document reliability and availability during routine operation. These practices would also guide ongoing maintenance programs.

This document does not provide guidelines for benchmark, comparison or assessment studies for PCC plant operations using different capture technologies (i.e. absorbents), nor does it specify appropriate operating conditions such as temperature etc.

This document describes a test method for laboratory evaluation of possible adverse effects of water treatment membrane elements and modules on drinking water quality.

In principle it is applicable to microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis and electrodialysis modules for use in the treatment of public water supplies and of water inside buildings.

NOTE Such devices can vary considerably in design and operation and hence some modification of the procedures can be required.

Evaluation of the efficiency of the membrane filter in removing contaminants from the treated water is not included.

This document applies to rope adjustment devices intended for use in rope access systems. It specifies the requirements, test methods, marking and manufacturer’s instructions and information.

This document specifies gas leakage test criteria and test methods for demonstrating that packages used to transport radioactive materials comply with the package containment requirements defined in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material for:

— design verification;

— fabrication verification;

— preshipment verification;

— periodic verification;

— maintenance verification.

This document describes a method for relating permissible activity release of the radioactive contents carried within a containment system to equivalent gas leakage rates under specified test conditions. This approach is called gas leakage test methodology. However, in this document it is recognized that other methodologies might be acceptable, provided that they demonstrate that any release of the radioactive contents will not exceed the regulatory requirements, and subject to agreement with the competent authority.

This document provides both overall and detailed guidance on the complex relationships between an equivalent gas leakage test and a permissible activity release rate. Whereas the overall guidance is universally agreed upon, the use of the detailed guidance shall be agreed upon with the competent authority during the Type B(U), Type B(M) or Type C packages certification process.

It should be noted that, for a given package, demonstration of compliance is not limited to a single methodology.

While this document does not require particular gas leakage test procedures, it does present minimum requirements for any test that is to be used. It is the responsibility of the package designer or consignor to estimate or determine the maximum permissible release rate of radioactivity to the environment and to select appropriate leakage test procedures that have adequate sensitivity.

This document pertains specifically to Type B(U), Type B(M) or Type C packages for which the regulatory containment requirements are specified explicitly.

The quality of a supplier of a dosimetry service depends on both the characteristics of the approved (type-tested) dosimetry system1) and the training and experience of the staff, together with the calibration procedures and quality assurance programmes.

This document specifies the criteria and the test procedures to be used for the periodic verification of the performance of dosimetry services supplying personal and/or area dosemeters.

An area dosemeter can be a workplace dosemeter or an environmental dosemeter.

The performance evaluation can be carried out as a part of the approval procedure for a dosimetry system or as an independent check to verify that a dosimetry service fulfils specified national or international type test performance requirements under representative exposure conditions that are expected or mimic workplace fields from the radiological activities being monitored.

This document applies to personal and area dosemeters for the assessment of external photon radiation with a (fluence weighted) mean energy between 8 keV and 10 MeV, beta radiation with a (fluence weighted) mean energy between 60 keV and 1,2 MeV, and neutron radiation with a (fluence weighted) mean energy between 25,3 meV (i.e. thermal neutrons with a Maxwellian energy distribution with kT = 25,3 meV) and 200 MeV.

It covers all types of personal and area dosemeters needing laboratory processing (e.g. thermoluminescent, optically stimulated luminescence, radiophotoluminescent, track detectors or photographic-film dosemeters) and involving continuous measurements or measurements repeated regularly at fixed time intervals (e.g. several weeks, one month).

Active dosemeters (for dose measurement) may also be treated according to this document. Then, they should be treated as if they were passive (i.e. the dosimetry service reads their indicated values and reports them to the evaluation organization).

This International Standard describes rules for the procedures, applications, and systems of thermoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) for dose measurements according to the probe method. It is particularly applicable to solid “TL detectors”, i.e. rods, chips, and microcubes, made from LiF:Mg,Ti or LiF:Mg,Cu,P in crystalline or polycrystalline form. It is not applicable to LiF powders because their use requires special procedures. The probe method encompasses the arrangement, particularly in a water phantom or in a tissue-equivalent phantom, of single TL detectors or of “TL probes”, i.e. sets of TL detectors arranged in thin-walled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) casings.

The purpose of these rules is to guarantee the reliability and the accuracy indispensable in clinical dosimetry when applied on or in the patient or phantom. This International Standard applies to dosimetry in teletherapy with both photon radiation from 20 keV to 50 MeV and electron radiation from 4 MeV to 25 MeV, as well as in brachytherapy with photon-emitting radionuclides. These applications are complementary to the use of ionization chambers.

The purpose of this document is to provide criteria for quality assurance (QA), quality control (QC) and evaluation of the performance of biological dosimetry by cytogenetic service laboratories.

This document addresses:

a) the responsibilities of both the customer and the laboratory;

b) the confidentiality of personal information, for the customer and the laboratory;

c) the laboratory safety requirements;

d) sample processing; culturing, staining and scoring, including the criteria for scoring for translocation analysis by FISH;

e) the calibration sources and calibration dose ranges useful for establishing the reference dose-response curves that contribute to the dose estimation from chromosome aberration frequency and the detection limit;

f) the scoring procedure for translocations stained by FISH used for evaluation of exposure;

g) the criteria for converting a measured aberration frequency into an estimate of absorbed dose (also appears as "dose");

h) the reporting of results;

i) the QA and QC;

j) Annexes A to F containing sample instructions for the customer, sample questionnaire, sample datasheet for recording aberrations, sample of report and fitting of the low dose-response curve by the method of maximum likelihood and calculating the uncertainty of dose estimate.

ISO 20710-1, Part 1, provides information on the goal, scope, structure, contents, and background of the different parts of ISO 20710. The purpose of the series of ISO 20710 documents is to give information on the active fire protection systems in the design, implementation, and maintenance described in ISO 23932-1. ISO 20710 is linked to the steps of the performance-based fire safety engineering design process described in ISO 23932-1.

This International Standard is not intended as a detailed technical design guide but is intended to provide the guidance necessary to use ISO 20710 for professionals who consider the active fire protection systems at each step presented in ISO 23932-1.

This document specifies general requirements for the use and evaluation of physical and biological performance of volumetric sampling devices applied for assessing bioaerosols in the workplace.

This document is not applicable for clean room measurements.

This document gives minimum safety, ergonomic, and performance requirements for Camera Monitor Systems to replace mandatory inside and outside rearview mirrors for road vehicles (e.g. classes I to IV as defined in UN Regulation No. 46). It addresses Camera Monitor Systems (CMS) that will be used in road vehicles to present the required outside information of a specific field of view inside the vehicle. These specifications are intended to be independent of different camera and display technologies unless otherwise stated explicitly. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as parking aids, are not part of this document.

NOTE 1 Mirror classes V and VI (as defined in UN Regulation No. 46) are not in scope of this document since the requirements are already defined in UN Regulation No. 46.

NOTE 2 The definitions and requirements in this document are formulated with regard to a system structure, where one camera captures one legally prescribed field of view and one monitor displays one legally prescribed field of view. Of course, also other system structures (e.g. with one monitor displaying two legally prescribed fields of view) are within the scope of this document. For those systems, either the system supplier or the vehicle manufacturer has to prove that the resulting system fulfils the requirements given in Clause 6.

NOTE 3 Whenever the phrases "field of view" or "field of vision" are used, then both have the same meaning and are to be used in parallel.

This document covers the risk of entrapment of users in the car and in the well, and gives the technical requirements for the alarm systems for passenger and goods passenger lifts, as described in the EN 81 series. This includes: - activation of the alarm, - transmission of the alarm, - information for use and maintenance, - site testing to verify the requirements of this document have been met before the lift is used. Excluded are: - the failure of the communication network (see Annex A), including mobile network signal strength or similar; - the failure of the network power supply such that all the lifts in a geographical area create entrapment simultaneously. This document is not applicable to alarm systems for lifts installed before the date of its publication.

This document specifies the fire resistance requirements for lift landing doors which can be exposed to a fire from the landing side. This document applies to all types of lift landing doors used as a means of access to lifts in buildings and which are intended to provide a fire barrier to the spread of fire via the lift well. It also specifies the method of testing and classification of fire resistance of lift landing doors. The test method is only valid for furnaces where the door is mounted in a vertical position. The test method allows for the measurement of integrity and if required the measurement of radiation and thermal insulation. This document covers the hazard of fire spreading to the lift well during a defined period of time. The fire resistance requirements are expressed in terms of integrity (E), insulation (EI) and radiation (EW). This document do not cover other technical requirements in addition to fire resistance requirements. The other technical requirements are specified in relevant product standards referring to this document. This document refers to CO2 as means of tracing the propagation of fire. The document does not cover hazards due to emission of gasses. This document is not applicable to lift landing doors installed in lifts before the date of its publication.

A human-shaped thermal manikin was designed to conduct assessments of the thermal environment from an ergonomic viewpoint. ISO 14505 part 2 defines the index of the environment, also referred to as the equivalent temperature, measured by such a manikin. Part 4 provides guidelines for extending this definition to predictive purposes and specifies a standard prediction method for the assessment of thermal comfort in vehicles using numerical calculations. Specifically, the following section sets forth a simulated numerical manikin as a viable alternative to the thermal manikin for the purpose of calculating the equivalent temperature.

This portion of ISO 14505 was written with the supposition this standard will be applied to various situations such as the following:

— in the case of experimental facilities that are not prepared,

— in the case of prototypes that are incomplete,

— in the case of conditions that are difficult to simulate in controlled experimental settings,

— in the case that occupants are extrapolated to unknown or virtual Environments.

This document can be used to compare the performance of different ensembles as part of any PPE selection process.

This document does not replace the product standards for the certification of individual items of PPE. It specifies the testing of individual items of PPE as an ensemble, so that the interaction between the individual items of PPE can be evaluated and any adverse interactions between the individual items of PPE can be identified.

It specifies requirements for testing by either assessing the performance of a PPE ensemble against a benchmark condition (i.e. benchmark testing) or assessing the performance of two or more PPE ensembles against each other (i.e. comparative testing).

The standard incorporates laboratory as well as field based testing. It can also be used to assess the performance regarding the ergonomics of an ensemble that incorporates an item of PPE that has never before been incorporated into an ensemble.
