This document describes a test method for the determination of the water content of samples of bituminous mixtures. The test method is suitable for checking conformity to a product specification, where required. Exposure levels are related to both handling procedures and ventilation provision and it is emphasized that adequate training should be given to staff employed in the usage of these substances.

This document specifies a framework of additional characteristics and associated test methods for bitumens and bituminous binders, which is complementary to other product standards for bitumens and bituminous binders. This document is applicable to bitumens and bituminous binders suitable for use in paving applications, but it is also applicable for other uses such as waterproofing membranes. With regard to paving applications, the following characteristics are addressed: - resistance to permanent deformation (rutting); - resistance to low-temperature cracking; - resistance to ravelling; - resistance to fatigue cracking; - temperature susceptibility; - equi-stiffness temperature and phase angle; - durability (evolution of equi-stiffness temperature and phase angle); - mixing and handling characteristics (paving and compaction) temperatures; - additional characteristics (e.g. solubility, elastic recovery and storage stability). Not all the properties and characteristics established in the framework are universally relevant to all binders. For example, elastic recovery is not relevant for unmodified binders.

This document is published as a dual log standard and provides guidance on classification of gases and vapours. It describes a test method intended for the measurement of the maximum experimental safe gaps (MESG) for gas-air mixtures or vapour-air mixtures under normal conditions of temperature and pressure (20 °C, 101,3 kPa) so as to permit the selection of an appropriate group of equipment. This document also describes a test method intended for use in the determination of the auto-ignition temperature (AIT) of a vapour-air mixture or gas-air mixture at atmospheric pressure, so as to permit the selection of an appropriate temperature class of equipment. Values of chemical properties of materials are provided to assist in the selection of equipment to be used in hazardous areas. Further data may be added as the results of validated tests become available. The materials and the characteristics included in a table (see Annex B) have been selected with particular reference to the use of equipment in hazardous areas. The data in this document have been taken from a number of references which are given in the bibliography. These methods for determining the MESG or the AIT may also be used for gas-air-inert mixtures or vapour-air-inert mixtures. However, data on air-inert mixtures are not tabulated. Keywords: classification of gases and vapours, measurement of the maximum experimental safe gaps (MESG)

This document specifies the determination of whole-body and hand-arm vibration emissions at operator position(s) during testing of mobile machinery. The purpose of this document is to assist technical standardization committees responsible for specific types of machinery in preparing vibration test codes to ensure that such vibration test codes — are as homogeneous as possible with each individual test code having the same basic structure, — are in full accordance with basic standards on measurement of vibration emission, — reflect the latest technical knowledge of methods of determining the vibration emission from the specific family of machinery under consideration, — provide manufacturers with a standardized method for the determination and declaration of the vibration emission value(s) of their machinery, — enable the user of the machinery or the member of an inspection body to compare the vibration emission values of different machinery and to verify the vibration emission values provided by the manufacturer. This document provides requirements for the preparation of vibration test codes (C-type standards), including guidelines for the conditions under which the measurements shall be made (e.g. operating conditions). Information to be included in a typical vibration test code is summarized in Annex A. This document applies to sitting and standing positions. It is applicable to all mobile machinery producing periodic or random vibration with or without transients. This document contains sufficient guidance for designing an appropriate test for machinery for which no vibration test codes exist. It can also be used for the determination of vibration emission values of individual machines. This document is not applicable to rotational vibration and backrest vibration. This document does not present limits or recommended vibration values.

This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for virucidal activity of chemical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water – or in the case of ready-to-use products – with water. This document is applicable to products that are used in the medical area for disinfecting non-porous surfaces including surfaces of medical devices by wiping or mopping – regardless if they are covered by the Medical Device Regulation [1] or not. Due to the new methods of application of surface disinfectants like pre-impregnated wipes this document was established to cover the different application methods. This document is applicable for four methods of application of products for wiping and/or mopping: a) soaking any non-specified wipe or mop with product; b) spraying the product on any non-specified wipe and / or mop or a specified wipe or mop; c) impregnation of specified wipes or mops by the user with the product according to the manufacturer’s recommendation; d) pre-impregnation of specified wipes or mops by the manufacturer as ready-to-use wipes or mops. In all types of application the water control has to be conducted with the standard wipe (5.3.2.17 a), because it is process or method control. The contact time for the water control is no longer than 5 min. This document does not apply to products that are sprayed on or used for flooding of surfaces, without wiping or mopping during the contact time. In this case, the methods of phase 2/ step 2 without mechanical action apply. The test-surface (5.3.2.16) was selected as a standard surface and should cover all non-porous surfaces. It was not intended to cover the influence of each different surface. This document is applicable to areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example: — in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions; — in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes; and can occur in the workplace and in the home. It can also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patients. NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test. EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use recommendations”.

This document specifies additional requirements to ISO/IEC 17021-1. The requirements contained in this document, when implemented, support the demonstration of competence, consistency and reliability by the bodies performing auditing and certification of an artificial intelligence management system (AIMS) according to ISO/IEC 42001 for organizations that provide, develop or use AI systems. Certification of AIMS is a third-party conformity assessment activity (as described in ISO/IEC 17000:2020, 4.5), and bodies performing this activity are third-party conformity assessment bodies. This document also provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification has been granted. NOTE This document can be used as a criteria document for accreditation or peer assessment.
