This International Standard is one of a series (ISO 15799, ISO 19204) providing guidance on the characterization of soils and soil materials in relation to their retention and habitat functions, and uses. It is appropriate in conjunction with the two other standards in this series. It provides guidance on the choice and evaluation of tests applied for ecotoxicological characterization of soils and soil materials. Recommendations for test strategies with respect to the protection of ground and surface waters and the maintenance of the habitat function of soil are included. The tests recommended represent a minimum test battery that may be accomplished by additional tests, or even be replaced by others, according to the intended uses or protection goals envisaged. The effect values indicated in this International Standard do not refer to regulation, but represent the lowest level at which a response is supposed to result in an adverse effect.

This document specifies the requirements and test methods for ergonomics, innocuousness, comfort/sizing, restraint, ability to limit wrist extension as well as provisions for marking and instructions supplied by the manufacturer for wrist protectors for all users of snowboard equipment. It does not apply to protectors used in roller sports or alpine skiing.

NOTE 1 The requirements of a clause take precedent over figures.

NOTE 2 The intent of this standard is to specify performance requirements of wrist protectors needed to reduce the risk of direct injury to the wrist caused by contact of the ground within the protective zone of the wrist protectors.

NOTE 3 The intent of this standard is to reduce the risk of injuries to the wrist and distal forearm without increasing the risk of injuries to the arm and shoulder of the user and without compromising the form or appeal of the sport.

NOTE 4 Snowboarding is a sport in which there is a risk of injury. This standard is intended only for wrist

protectors used for snowboarding. Snowboarding wrist protectors do not afford protection from impacts to the proximal forearm or fingers.

NOTE 5 The tests required to ensure that a wrist protector conforms to the requirements of this standard do not attempt to predict the performance of the wrist protector in all possible situations. This standard does not

address protection from axial forces caused by an impact on the fingers or fist. Moreover, this standard does not address protection against palmar flexion (terminal flexion) caused by an impact on the dorsal side of the hand.

NOTE 6 In order for a wrist protector to perform adequately, it must be in good condition, fit properly and not be altered in any way.

NOTE 7 This standard does not address accessories that are associated with a wrist protector.

This document defines requirements for anchor devices and safety hooks permanently fixed to buildings and structures.

Anchor devices intend to prevent persons from falling and arrest falls used in and on buildings and civil engineering works.

The document specifies the determination of radium-226 (226Ra) and radium-228 (228Ra) activity concentrations in drinking water samples by chemical separation of radium and its measurement using liquid scintillation counting. 226Ra and 228Ra are present in the environment as radionuclides from the 238U and 232Th decay series, as shown in Annex A.

The test method applies to the analysis of 0,5 kg of drinking water containing less than 100 mg/kg barium. If the barium concentration is higher than 100 mg/kg, it is recommended to reduce the volume of the test sample to be analysed so that the total content of barium in the sample does not exceed 50 mg.

Activity concentrations of 226Ra and 228Ra can vary widely according to local geological and climatic characteristics. 226Ra activity concentration range from some mBq/l in surface waters up to several tens of Bq/l in some natural groundwaters[8]; the guidance level for 226Ra in drinking water as recommended by WHO is 1 Bq/l[3][9]. 228Ra activity concentration range from a few mBq/l in surface waters up to several Bq/l in some natural groundwaters[8]; the guidance level for 228Ra in drinking water as recommended by WHO is 0,1 Bq/l[3][9].

Activity concentrations of 226Ra and 228Ra which can be measured by this test method utilizing currently available liquid scintillation counters goes down to 0,01 Bq/kg for 226Ra and 0,06 Bq/kg for 228Ra for a 0,5 kg sample mass and a 1 h counting time in a low background liquid scintillation counter.[10]

NOTE Adjustment of the test sample mass and counting time can lead to lower detection limits. As an example, a limit of detection of 0,04 Bq/kg can be achieved for 228Ra using a 0,5 kg test sample and a 2 h counting time; similarly a limit of detection of 0,02 Bq/kg can be achieved for 228Ra using a 1 kg test sample and a 2 h counting time.

The test method can be used for the fast detection of contamination of drinking water by radium in emergency situations or for routine environmental monitoring purposes.

This part of ISO 12219 specifies a large bag sampling method for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and other carbonyl compounds which may emit from vehicle interior parts into the air inside road vehicles. This method is intended for evaluation of large new vehicle interior parts, and complete assemblies. This is a screening method to compare similar car components under similar test conditions on a routine basis.

It is important to check VOC emissions of vehicle interior parts to evaluate its contribution to the air quality of vehicle interior.

This part of ISO 12219 is complementary to existing standards and provides third party test laboratories and manufacturing industry with a cost-effective evaluation of vehicle interior parts.

ISO 5660-1 specifies a method for assessing the heat release rate and dynamic smoke production rate of specimen exposed in the horizontal orientation to controlled levels of irradiance with an external igniter. The heat release rate is determined by measurement of the oxygen consumption derived from the oxygen concentration and the flow rate in the combustion product stream. The time to ignition (sustained flaming) is also measured in this test.

The dynamic smoke production rate is calculated from measurement of the attenuation of a laser light beam by the combustion product stream. Smoke obscuration is recorded for the entire test, regardless of whether the specimen is flaming or not.

This International Standard specifies a method using scanning electron microscopy for determination of the concentration of inorganic fibrous particles in the air. The method specifies the use of gold-coated, capillary-pore, track-etched membrane filters, through which a known volume of air has been drawn. Using energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, the method can discriminate between fibres with compositions consistent with those of the asbestos varieties (e.g. serpentine and amphibole), gypsum, and other inorganic fibres. Annex C provides a summary of fibre types which can be measured.

This International Standard is applicable to the measurement of the concentrations of inorganic fibrous particles in ambient air. The method is also applicable for determining the numerical concentrations of inorganic fibrous particles in the interior atmospheres of buildings, for example to determine the concentration of airborne inorganic fibrous particles remaining after the removal of asbestos-containing products.

The range of concentrations for fibres with lengths greater than 5 μm, in the range of widths which can be detected under standard measurement conditions (see 6.2), is approximately 3 fibres to 200 fibres per square millimetre of filter area. The air concentrations, in fibres per cubic metre, represented by these values are a function of the volume of air sampled.

NOTE The ability of the method to detect and classify fibres with widths lower than 0,2 μm is limited. If airborne fibres in the atmosphere being sampled are predominantly < 0,2 μm in width, a transmission electron microscopy method such as ISO 10312 can be used to determine the smaller fibres.

This document specifies limits for physical contacts between the machine or parts of the machine and humans that are caused by movement of the machine as part of its intended use or foreseeable misuse.
