This document specifies fundamental techniques of film and digital radiography with the object of enabling satisfactory and repeatable results to be obtained economically. The techniques are based on generally recognized practice and fundamental theory of the subject. This document applies to the radiographic examination of pipes in metallic materials for service induced flaws such as corrosion pitting, generalized corrosion and erosion. Besides its conventional meaning, "pipe" as used in this document is understood to cover other cylindrical bodies such as tubes, penstocks, boiler drums and pressure vessels. Weld inspection for typical welding process induced flaws is not covered, but weld inspection is included for corrosion/erosion type flaws. The pipes can be insulated or not, and can be assessed where loss of material due, for example, to corrosion or erosion is suspected either internally or externally. This document covers double wall inspection techniques for detection of wall loss, including double wall single image (DWSI) and double wall double image (DWDI). Note that the DWDI technique described in this document is often combined with the tangential technique covered in ISO 20769-1. This document applies to in-service double wall radiographic inspection using industrial radiographic film techniques, computed digital radiography (CR) and digital detector arrays (DDA).

This document specifies fundamental techniques of film and digital radiography with the object of enabling satisfactory and repeatable results to be obtained economically. The techniques are based on generally recognized practice and fundamental theory of the subject. This document applies to the radiographic examination of steel pipes for service induced flaws such as corrosion pitting, generalized corrosion and erosion. Besides its conventional meaning, "pipe" as used in this document is understood to cover other cylindrical bodies such as tubes, penstocks, boiler drums and pressure vessels. Weld inspection for typical welding process induced flaws is not covered, but weld inspection is included for corrosion/erosion type flaws. The pipes can be insulated or not, and can be assessed where loss of material due, for example, to corrosion or erosion is suspected either internally or externally. This document covers the tangential inspection technique for detection and through-wall sizing of wall loss, including with the source: a) on the pipe centre line; and b) offset from pipe centre line by the pipe radius. ISO 20769-2 covers double wall radiography, and note that the double wall double image technique is often combined with tangential radiography with the source on the pipe centre line. This document applies to tangential radiographic inspection using industrial radiographic film techniques, computed radiography (CR) and digital detector arrays (DDA).

This document describes a method for the ultrasonic testing of uncoated flat steel product for internal discontinuities. This document is applicable to flat product in nominal thickness range of 5 mm to 200 mm of non-alloyed or alloyed steel, excluding austenitic or austenoferritic steels. However, this document can be applied to the latter types of steels provided that the difference between the amplitude of the noise signal and that of the echo detection threshold is sufficient for the limit fixed. This document also defines five quality classes for the flat product body (classes S0, S1, SA, S2 and S3) and five classes (E0, E1, E2, E3, E4) for the edges (see Clause 13). Other methods of testing (e.g. by phased-array) or other test equipment may be used at the manufacturer's discretion provided that they give identical results to those obtained under the conditions of this document. In the event of a dispute, only the method defined in this document shall prevail. Testing of flat product of thickness less than 5 mm or higher than 200 mm may be the subject of special agreements between the parties concerned. The inspection is normally carried out in the place of production or on the premises of the supplier. If specified on the order, the inspection takes place in the presence of the purchaser or his representative1. A list of equivalent terms in several European languages is given in Annex A.

This document specifies the requirements for three types of general-purpose textile-reinforced rubber water hose with an operating temperature range of −25 °C to +70 °C and a maximum working pressure of up to 2,5 MPa (25 bar). These hoses are not intended to be used for conveyance of potable (drinking) water, for washing-machine inlets, as firefighting hoses, for special agricultural machines or as collapsible water hoses. These hoses can be used with additives which lower the freezing point of water.

This document specifies safety requirements for exercise bicycles with a fixed wheel or without freewheel that have an inertia of >0,6 kg·m². The requirements are in addition to the general safety requirements of ISO 20957-1, with which ISO 20957-10 is intended to be read in conjunction.

Any attachment provided with the exercise bicycle with a fixed wheel or without a freewheel for the performance of additional exercises is subject to the requirements of ISO 20957-1.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the bio-based carbon content in products, based on the 14C content measurement. This document also specifies three test methods to be used for the determination of the 14C content from which the bio-based carbon content is calculated: — method A: Liquid scintillation-counter (LSC); — method B: Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS); and — method C: Saturated-absorption cavity ring-down (SCAR) spectroscopy. The bio-based carbon content is expressed by a fraction of sample mass or as a fraction of the total carbon content. This calculation method is applicable to any product containing carbon, including bio-composites. NOTE This document does not provide the methodology for the calculation of the biomass content of a sample, see EN 16785 1 and EN 16785 2.

ISO 6145 is a series of documents dealing with various dynamic methods used for the preparation of calibration gas mixtures. This document specifies a method for continuous preparation of calibration gas mixtures, from nominally pure gases or gas mixtures by use of thermal mass-flow controllers. The method is applicable to preparation of mixtures of non-reacting species, i.e. those which do not react with any material of construction of the flow path in the thermal mass-flow controller or the ancillary equipment.

If this method is employed for preparation of calibration gas mixtures the optimum performance is as follows: the relative expanded measurement uncertainty U, obtained by multiplying the standard uncertainty by a coverage factor k = 2, is not greater than 2 %.

If pre-mixed gases are used instead of pure gases, mole fractions below 10−6 can be obtained. The measurement of mass flow is not absolute and the flow controller requires independent calibration.

The merits of the method are that a large quantity of the calibration gas mixture can be prepared on a continuous basis and that multi-component mixtures can be prepared as readily as binary mixtures if the appropriate number of thermal mass-flow controllers is utilized.

NOTE Gas blending systems, based upon thermal mass-flow controllers, and some including the facility of computerization and automatic control, are commercially available

This document specifies requirements for the respiratory tubing and connectors used to convey respirable gases to a patient in the healthcare and homecare environments and provide a safe connection between the gas supply device and the patient interface. Respiratory tubing and connectors are mainly used for delivery of oxygen but can also be used for respirable air or oxygen/air mixtures and breathable medicinal gas mixtures such as oxygen/nitrous oxide or oxygen/helium mixtures. This document also specifies requirements for respiratory therapy extension tubing. NOTE 1       The gas supply devices referred to in this document do not include anaesthetic machines/workstations and ventilators. NOTE 2       This document does not cover breathing tubes for breathing systems. These are specified in ISO 5367. This document is written following the format of ISO 18190, General standard for airways and related equipment. The requirements in this device-specific standard take precedence over any conflicting requirements in the General standard

This document provides a procedure for the evaluation of irradiation data in the region between the reactor core and the inside surface of the containment vessel, through the pressure vessel and the reactor cavity. NOTE These irradiation data could be neutron fluence or displacements per atom (dpa), and Helium production. The evaluation employs both neutron flux computations and measurement data from in-vessel and cavity dosimetry, as appropriate. This document applies to pressurized water reactors (PWRs), boiling water reactors (BWRs), and pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs). This document also provides a procedure for evaluating neutron damage properties at the reactor pressure vessel and internal components of PWRs, BWRs, and PHWRs. Damage properties are focused on atomic displacement damage caused by direct displacements of atoms due to collisions with neutrons and indirect damage caused by gas production, both of which are strongly dependent on the neutron energy spectrum. Therefore, for a given neutron fluence and neutron energy spectrum, calculations of the total accumulated number of atomic displacements are important data to be used for reactor life management.

This document is applicable to fuel fabrication. It gives guidelines on the determination of the specific surface area of as-fabricated uranium dioxide and plutonium dioxide powders by volumetric or gravimetric determination of the amount of nitrogen adsorbed on the powder. The measurement of other uranium oxide powders refers to uranium dioxide, such as UO3 and U3O8. The measurement of MOX(UO2-PuO2) powders refers to plutonium dioxide. When conditions described are fulfilled, modifications using other adsorbing gases are included.

The method is relevant as long as the expected value is in the range from 1 m2/g to 10 m2/g for uranium dioxide powders, in the range from 0.1 m2/g to 45 m2/g for plutonium dioxide powders.

This document is not applicable to the evaluation of pyrogens other than bacterial endotoxins. Other endotoxin detection methodologies are not included. This document does not address setting specific endotoxin limit specifications.

ISO 463:2006 specifies the most important design and metrological characteristics of mechanical dial gauges.

The method specified is applicable to sulfur contents between 0,0003 % (m/m) and 0,010 % (m/m). However, niobium, silicon, tantalum and titanium interfere in the determination of sulfur, and application range and test portion masses of the method depend on the concentration of the interfering elements.

This document specifies the requirements for valve protection caps and valve guards used on cylinders for liquefied, dissolved or compressed gases. Valve protection caps and valve guards are some of the options available to protect cylinder valves, including valves with integral pressure regulators (VIPRs) during transport. This document is applicable to valve protection caps and valve guards which inherently provide the primary protection of a cylinder valve. It can also be used to test other equipment (e.g., handling devices) attached to cylinder packages, even in cases where the cylinder valve is inherently able to withstand damage without release of the content. This document excludes protection devices for cylinders with a water capacity of 5 l or less and cylinders whereby the protection device is fixed by means of lugs welded or brazed to the cylinder, or is welded or brazed directly to the cylinder. This document does not cover valve protection for breathing apparatus cylinders. NOTE Small cylinders (e.g., medical cylinders) are commonly transported in an outer-packaging (e.g., pallet) to meet transport regulations. This document does not specify requirements that could be necessary to enable the valve protection device to be used for lifting the cylinder.

This document, in conjunction with ISO 10297 and ISO 14246, specifies design, type testing, marking and manufacturing tests, and examinations requirements for quick-release cylinder valves intended to be fitted to refillable transportable gas cylinders, pressure drums and tubes which convey: — non-toxic; — non-oxidizing; — non-flammable; and — non-corrosive; compressed or liquefied gases or extinguishing agents charged with compressed gases to be used for fire-extinguishing, explosion protection, and rescue applications. NOTE 1 The main application of such quick-release cylinder valves is in the fire-fighting industry. However, there are other applications such as avalanche airbags, life raft inflation and similar applications. NOTE 2 Where there is no risk of ambiguity, gas cylinders, pressure drums and tubes are addressed with the collective term “cylinders” within this document. This document covers the function of a quick-release cylinder valve as a closure. This document does not apply to quick-release cylinder valves for cryogenic equipment and for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This document does not apply to quick-release cylinder valves if used as the main closure of portable fire extinguishers because portable fire extinguishers are not covered by transport regulation. Quick-release cylinder valves of auxiliary refillable propellant gas cylinders used within or as part of portable fire extinguishers are covered by this document, if these cylinders are transported separately, e.g. for filling (see UN Model Regulations, Chapter 3.3, Special Provision 225, second note[1]).

This document specifies design, type testing, marking and manufacturing tests and examinations requirements for: a) self-closing cylinder valves; b) self-closing cylinder valves with integrated pressure regulator (VIPR); NOTE 1 This includes VIPR designs where the primary valve operating mechanism is located upstream of the pressure regulating system (VIPR type A) and where the primary valve operating mechanism is located at the low-pressure side of the pressure regulating system (VIPR type C). NOTE 2 This does not include VIPR designs where the pressure regulating system is acting as the primary valve operating mechanism (VIPR type B) and designs where closure of the primary valve operating mechanism is obtained by closing the seat of the pressure regulating mechanism. Such designs are covered by ISO 10297. for refillable transportable gas cylinders which convey compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases. NOTE 3 The main applications for such self-closing cylinder valves are in the calibration gas and beverage industries. NOTE 4 Where there is no risk of ambiguity, cylinder valves and VIPRs are addressed with the collective term “valves” within this document. This document does not apply to: — valves for cryogenic equipment, portable fire extinguishers and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); — quick-release cylinder valves (e.g. for fire-extinguishing, explosion protection and rescue applications) - requirements for quick-release cylinder valves are specified in ISO 17871 which contains normative references to this document; — ball valves. NOTE 5 Requirements for valves for cryogenic vessels are specified in ISO 21011 and at a regional level, e.g. in EN 1626. Requirements for valves for portable fire extinguishers are specified at a regional level, e.g. in EN 3 series. Requirements for self-closing LPG cylinder valves are specified in ISO 14245. Requirements for quick-release cylinder valves are given in ISO 17871. Requirements for ball valves are given in ISO 23826. This document only covers the function of a valve as a closure. Other functions that are possibly integrated in the valve can be covered by other standards. Such standards do however not constitute requirements according to this document. NOTE 6 Definition of and specific requirements for VIPRs in addition to those that are given in this document are specified in ISO 22435 for industrial applications or ISO 10524-3 for medical applications. Similarly, certain specific additional requirements for residual pressure valves (RPV) are given in ISO 15996.

This document specifies a method for the detection of Salmonella spp. in soil improvers and growing media. It is applicable to material in solid form (including pre-shaped growing media) and liquid form. This document is applicable to fertilizing product blends, where a blend is a mix of two or more fertilizing products belonging to the categories of fertilizers, liming material, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors and plant biostimulants, and where soil improvers and/or growing media comprise the highest percentage in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If soil improvers and/or growing media do not comprise the highest percentage in the blend, the European Standard for the highest percentage in the blend applies. In case a blend is composed of fertilising products in equal quantity, the user of the standard decides which standard to apply. Most of the Salmonella serovars are detected with the method described in this document. For the detection of some specific Salmonella serovars (e.g. Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi), additional cultivation steps can be necessary. NOTE 1 A soil improver or a growing medium consists of a single bulky (volume-building) component or a mix of bulky (volume-building) components (for example peat, wood fibres, coconut coir, compost, expanded perlite). NOTE 2 This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study with specific products that were present on the market during the study (Annex C).
