This document specifies requirements for manually controlled load manipulating cranes (herein referred to as manipulators), powered by an energy other than human energy, to assist an operator in the handling of loads. This document does not cover: - mechanically operated balancers that are based on springs, counterweights or automatons; - manipulating robots; - operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields); - operation subject to special rules; - handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/alkalies, radiating materials, specially brittle loads); NOTE High risk applications are dealt by EN 13135:2018 and EN 13001-2:2021. - hazards occurring during construction, transportation, decommissioning and disposal. This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons. The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex A. For hazards that are not significant, EN ISO 12100:2010 applies. This document is not applicable to manipulators manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document specifies a method for the analysis of pesticide residues in foods of animal origin with a fat content of up to approximatively 10 %, such as meat, egg or milk by LC-MS/MS. Because of the low material requirements for miniaturized processing and the few work steps, the process is particularly time and cost-saving with high reliability and effectiveness. The method has been collaboratively studied on a number of commodity/pesticide combinations. Precision data are summarized in Table B.1. Guidelines for calibration are outlined in CEN/TS 17061.

This document specifies a test method for the determination of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) content in diesel fuel or domestic heating fuel by mid infrared spectrometry, which applies to FAME contents of the three measurement ranges as follows:

—  range A: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 0,05 % (V/V) to approx. 3 % (V/V);

—  range B: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 3 % (V/V) to approx. 20 % (V/V);

—  range C: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 20 % (V/V) to approx. 50 % (V/V).

Principally, higher FAME contents can also be analysed if diluted; however, no precision data for results outside the specified range is available at present.

This test method was verified to be applicable to samples which contain FAME conforming to EN 14214. Reliable quantitative results are obtained only if the samples do not contain any significant amounts of other interfering components, especially esters and other carbonyl compounds which possess absorption bands in the spectral region used for quantification of FAME. If such interfering components are present, this test method is expected to produce higher values.

This document defines a method for determination the mechanical durability of pellets. The mechanical durability is a measure of the resistance of compressed fuels towards shocks and/or abrasion as a consequence of handling and transportation.

This document defines a method for determination the mechanical durability of briquettes. The mechanical durability is a measure of the resistance of compressed fuels towards shocks and/or abrasion as a consequence of handling and transportation.

This document establishes requirements and specifications of the polyester moulding compounds BMC (bulk moulding compound) and DMC (dough moulding compound) with or without thickening agents. BMC and DMC are different types of preimpregnated product used for the production, by moulding, of various parts made of composite materials.

It is applicable to BMC and DMC. The scope is not limited to types of fibres and resins.

—   method A: inverse gated decoupling method.

—   method B: insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer method;

This document is applicable to copolymers of ethylene having a content of other 1-olefinic monomers of less than a mass fraction of 50 %.

This document is not applicable to ethylene homopolymers or copolymers in which ethylene is polymerized with two or more type 1-olefin comonomers.

This document specifies technical definitions for 100% plant-based foods and the criteria to be fulfilled for - plant-based foods;

- plant-based foods ingredients;

- plant-based food labelling and claims.

This document does not include any detailed criteria or technical guidance for specific food types.

This document is applicable to business-to-business (B2B) as well as business-to-consumer communication, food trade and to food labelling and claims. The terminology and criteria described apply only post-harvest/collecting.

This document applies to foods for human consumption only. This document does not apply to animal feed, pet foods, unprocessed fruits and vegetables, packaging material for foods, nor does it cover non-food applications.

This document specifies test methods for determining the rates of spread and accuracy of spread of binder and chippings of a surface dressing on a section of road at a given time. This test method can also be used for determining the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of sprayed bituminous emulsions e.g. when used as bond coats or asphalt preservation systems. The performance categories for binder rate of spread and accuracy of spread in EN 12271 do not apply to bond coats and tack coats. The test methods are used on site to check the ability of binder sprayers and chipping spreaders to meet the intended rates of spread and tolerances and coefficients of variation. The test methods can be used to fulfil the Factory Production Control requirements: - equipment calibration (EN 12271 - Annex B - Table B2); - production inspection (EN 12271 - Annex B - Table B6). The calibration of binder and chipping spreaders requires strict application of the procedures described in this document. Using these methods for inspections during production (FPC), allows certain changes to these methods due to the specificity of certain sites and materials used (e.g. combined chipping-binder spreaders). In this case, the changes are documented in the Factory Production Control and identified in the test reports. Other test methods used to check the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of binder, such as the static spray bar bench test for sprayers, are not covered by this document, although the test methods in this document can be used for this purpose. WARNING - The use of this document can involve hazardous operations. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

This document specifies a method for the enumeration of intestinal enterococci in water. The method is based on the growth of target organisms in a liquid medium and calculation of the “Most Probable Number” (MPN) of microorganisms by reference to MPN tables or using informatic programs. The test described in this document relies upon the detection of intestinal enterococci based upon expression of the enzyme ß-D-glucosidase. This method provides a confirmed result in 24 h with no requirement for confirmation of positive wells. This method can be applied to a range of types of water (for example, drinking water, bathing water, groundwater, surface water and wastewater), including those containing an appreciable amount of suspended matter and high background counts of heterotrophic bacteria. For marine waters, enterococci are best enumerated using diluted samples.

This document defines two accelerated corrosion test methods to be used in assessing the corrosion resistance of products with metals in environments where there is a significant influence of chloride ions, mainly as sodium chloride from a marine source or by winter road de-icing salt, and of corrosion-promoting gases from industrial or traffic air pollution. This document specifies both the test apparatus and test procedures to be used in executing the accelerated corrosion tests. The methods are especially suitable for assessing the corrosion resistance of sensitive products with metals, e.g. electronic components, used in traffic and industrial environments.
