The document provides:

— guidelines for determining the thermal effects to consider on fire barriers inside a given room;

— guidelines for determining the global performance of the fire barriers based on standard test characterization;

— guidelines for assessing the need for additional tests to verify the robustness of the solution.

Requirements of applicable standards, numerical tools validation and verification (V&V), and the expected qualification of fire resistance laboratories are detailed.

The limitations of the method's applicability and scope are discussed.

The purpose and justification of this document is to describe a new methodology for the verification of the efficiency of fire barriers, which is initially based on a standardized fire resistance test.

The significance of this work relates to the fact that the present methodology will enhance the level of safety by providing more realism to hazards analysis in combination with standardized test data. It completes the standard ISO-fire rating required for justifying the performance.

The most relevant benefit of this method concerns the determination of the global performance of a barrier in a fire of extended duration compared to the classification given by the ISO-fire rating.

This document specifies the customer (natural or legal person) data access and portability in the insurance sector based on the insurance-specific part of the proposed EU FIDA Regulation and therefore contains:

• Semantic specifications for the processes to support the data access and portability. These specifications define on the business level the functions and the behaviour for the following process interfaces:

 Request of the customer to the data holder for an actual transfer of the customer data (FIDA Article 4).

 Transfer of the requested customer data from the data holder to the requesting customer (FIDA Article 4).

 Request of a data user to a data holder for an actual transfer of customer data under a permission of the customer (FIDA Article 5).

 Transfer of the requested customer data from the data holder to the requesting data user (FIDA Article 5).

• Semantic specifications for the customer data to be transferred by the above processes. The scope of the customer data is limited to the insurance-specific part defined in the proposed FIDA Regulation Article 2 (1) and Article 3 (3). These specifications define on the business level each element of the customer data with unique name, precise definition, and value type (text, number, amount, quantity, percentage, date, etc.). The composition of these data elements forms a semantic data model for the insurance-specific customer data. The data model consists of the following parts:

 General data of the insurance client (including personal details, address, contact information, payment means, etc.).

 General data of the insurance policy (including policy number, insurance product and coverages, insured period, premium amounts, etc.).

 Data specific to the insurance client’s assets and risks, collected in an assessment for the purposes of a demands and needs test.

 Data depending on line of business, such as

 Motor insurance (details about vehicle, usage, drivers),

 Property insurance (details about building, household, or other objects),

 Liability insurance (details about insured parties and their activities),

 Personal accident insurance (details about insured persons and their activities),

 Legal expenses insurance (details about insured parties and objects),

 Travel insurance (details about insured parties and objects),

 Financial loss insurance (details about insured parties and risks),

 Insurance-based investment products and private and occupational pension products (details about insured persons and the savings, investments, pension rights, etc.).

This document defines the semantic process specifications for the data access from a customer or a data user to the data holder for the customer, policy, and claims data. The processes for the identification, authentication, and authorisation of customers and data users and the processes for the handling of customer permissions are not in the scope of this standard.

This document specifies the processes and the data models on the semantic level in a syntax-neutral format, independent from its representation in a concrete implementation syntax. Separate CEN Technical Specifications describe the application programming interfaces (API) at the technical implementation level, such as FprCEN/TS 18356-2, in the Open API Technology.

The focus of this document is on the data elements usually required for the customer data access in European insurance markets. For a concrete implementation of the customer data access in a specific market, this standard could be extended by market-specific data elements. Many data elements in this standard utilize coded value lists, some of which are based on ISO or other internationally standardised code value lists, such as country or currency code values. Other code value lists are implemented on a market-specific basis, as the requirements for the value lists are very different due to diverse market conditions. This document makes no attempt to standardise these code value lists.

This document specifies fundamental parameters of computed radiography (CR) systems with the aim of enabling satisfactory and repeatable results to be obtained economically. The techniques are based both on fundamental theory and test measurements. This document specifies the performance of CR systems and the measurement of the corresponding parameters for the system scanner and storage phosphor imaging plate (IP). CR system classes are defined in combination with specified metal screens for industrial radiography. This document ensures that the quality of the images, as far as they are influenced by the scanner IP system, complies with the requirements of ISO 16371-2. This document considers the requirements for film radiography specified in ISO 11699-1. This document specifies system tests at different levels. More complex manufacturer tests are described, which allow the determination of precise system parameters to characterize the performance of CR systems from different suppliers and make them comparable for users. Simpler tests are also described, which are designed for fast tests of the quality of CR systems and long-term stability monitoring by the user.

ISO 22882:2016 specifies the technical requirements, the appropriate dimensions and the requirements for the testing of swivel castors for hospital beds with a wheel diameter of 100 mm or more and which have a central locking device. Swivel castors may be used with the main principal dimensions.

ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.

ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities.

ISO 45001:2018 helps an organization to achieve the intended outcomes of its OH&S management system. Consistent with the organization's OH&S policy, the intended outcomes of an OH&S management system include:

a) continual improvement of OH&S performance;

b) fulfilment of legal requirements and other requirements;

c) achievement of OH&S objectives.

ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It is applicable to the OH&S risks under the organization's control, taking into account factors such as the context in which the organization operates and the needs and expectations of its workers and other interested parties.

ISO 45001:2018 does not state specific criteria for OH&S performance, nor is it prescriptive about the design of an OH&S management system. ISO 45001:2018 enables an organization, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such as worker wellness/wellbeing.

ISO 45001:2018 does not address issues such as product safety, property damage or environmental impacts, beyond the risks to workers and other relevant interested parties. ISO 45001:2018 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve occupational health and safety management. However, claims of conformity to this document are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's OH&S management system and fulfilled without exclusion.
