The tests specified in ISO 22899 1 and ISO 22899 3 are designed to give an indication of how passive fire protection materials and systems will perform in a jet fire. This part of ISO 22899 provides: — guidance on the selection of applicable method of test; — guidance on the combination of results from hydrocarbon tests and resistance to jet fire tests. ISO 22899 1 and ISO 22899-3 tests report the thickness of fire protection material or system (sometimes referred to as passive fire protection; PFP) required to resist the application of a ‘jet fire’. This part of ISO 22899 provides information on selection of the applicable test method and how to combine jet fire test results with other hydrocarbon fire test results.

This document specifies the procedure for determining bulk, dry and grain densities as well as open porosity of a rock specimen using the immersion method and a combination of the linear method and gas pycnometry.

This document is applicable to the laboratory determination of density and open porosity of a rock test specimen within the scope of geotechnical investigations.

Other methods for determining the bulk mass, grain mass, bulk volume and grain volume of the specimen that fulfil the requirements set in this document may also be considered acceptable (Annex B). Used method should be chosen based on the use case (type of specimen, availability etc.).

Bulk, dry and grain density as well as open porosity are determined for the specimen as is and are dependent on fluid content, which shall be determined and reported as per ISO 16383-1.

NOTE This document fulfils the requirements of the determination of bulk density of rock for geotechnical investigation and testing in accordance with EN 1997-2 (2024).

This document is applicable to lakes, which are water bodies occupying one or more basins with surface areas typically greater than 1 ha (0,01 km2) and maximum depths (at mean water level) greater than 1 m. All types of permanent and temporary lakes, including natural, modified and artificial, freshwater and brackish, except for those systems which regularly connect to the sea, are included in this document. Based on these criteria, it can be estimated that there are at least 500 000 natural lakes across Europe, most of which are located in the glaciated landscapes in northern and western provinces and in Scandinavia. Lakeland districts also occur locally in areas such as large river catchments (e.g. the Danubian plain) and around the Alps. Elsewhere, naturally occurring lakes are relatively sparse and in such areas reservoirs or pits are more common. This document is designed to: a) support environmental and conservation agencies in meeting the monitoring requirements of the WFD (Article 8, Annex II and Annex V); b) generate data sets appropriate for monitoring and reporting of Natura 2000 sites designated under the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive; c) provide information supporting other environmental reporting requirements (e.g. in relation to biodiversity or environmental impact assessment); d) support lake management and restoration initiatives. This document: e) defines the key term of ‘hydromorphology’ and other terms relating to the morphological characteristics of lakes and their hydrological regimes; f) details essential features and processes of lakes that should be characterized as part of a hydromorphological survey and for determining the hydromorphological condition of a lake; g) identifies and defines the key pressures affecting European lakes; h) provides guidance on strategies for collecting hydromorphological data depending on resources available and the anticipated use of the assessment; a hierarchy of approaches is recognized from the ‘overview method’ utilizing existing databases, maps and remote sensing data through to recognized field-based survey techniques such as Lake Habitat Survey (LHS) [3]; i) offers guidance on data presentation; j) establishes guidance on data quality assurance issues. This document does not deal with biological assessments in lakes such as the presence or absence of individual species or community composition, nor does it attempt to link specific hydromorphological features with their associated biological communities or to create a classification based on such links. However, it is relevant where plants or other organisms form significant structural elements of the habitat (e.g. a gradation from riparian to littoral vegetation). With respect to the WFD, the hydromorphological condition of a lake only contributes to its status classification at high ecological status (HES). Hydromorphological conditions are not defined for good and moderate status but shall be sufficient to support the biological elements. However, some countries are now beginning to classify lakes according to their hydromorphology. The information gathered by using this standard can provide a basis for classification, but this classification is the subject of EN 16870 and not EN 16039.

This document defines the fire resistance test and requirements for landing doors which are intended to provide a barrier to the spread of fire from the landing side and via the lift well in buildings for a period of time classified in this document.

This document describes in a general way the application of the soil quality TRIAD approach for the site specific ecological risk assessment of contaminated soils. In detail, it presents in a transparent way three lines of evidence (chemistry, ecotoxicology and ecology) which together allow an efficient, ecologically robust but also practical risk assessment of contaminated soils. This procedure can also be applicable to other stress factors, such as acidification, soil compaction, salinization, loss of soil organic substance, and erosion. However, so far, no experience has been gained with these other applications. Therefore, this document focuses on soils contaminated by chemicals.

NOTE 1 This document focuses on ecological risk assessment. Thus, it does not cover human health end points.

In view of the nature of this document, the investigation procedure is described on a general level. It does not contain details of technical procedures for the actual assessment. However, this document includes references relating to technical standards (e.g. ISO 15799, ISO 17616) which are useful for the actual performance of the three lines of evidence.

In ecological risk assessment, the effects of soil contamination on the ecosystem are related to the intended land use and the requirements that this use sets for properly functioning soil. This document describes the basic steps relating to a coherent tool for a site-specific risk assessment with opportunities to work out site specific details.

This document can also be used for the evaluation of clean-up operations, remediation processes or management measures (i.e. for the evaluation of the environmental quality after having performed such actions).

NOTE 2 The application of this document starts when it has already been decided that an ecological risk assessment at a given site needs to be performed. In other words, the practical performance of the soil quality TRIAD and the evaluation of the individual test results will be described. Thus, nothing will be said about decisions whether (and if yes, how) the results of the assessment are included in soil management measures or not.

NOTE 3 The TRIAD approach can be used for different parts of the environment, but this document focuses mostly on the soil compartment. Comparable documents for other environmental compartments are intended to be prepared in addition (e.g. the terrestrial aboveground compartment) in order to perform a complete site assessment, based on the same principles and processes.

This document defines methods that measure amounts of bacterial cells or a marker gene DNA to obtain the total abundance in environmental aqueous samples, such as seawater and river water, for biodegradability assessment. Amounts of a marker gene DNA enable to give a prediction of abundance of bacterial cells by using a conversion factor such as average number of the marker gene homologues in a bacterial cell. The methods could be also applicable to aqueous samples artificially enriched with bacterial cells released from environmental sediments. In addition, this document is applicable to solution with bacteria extracted from environmental sediments and plastic surfaces, where appropriate pre-treatment might be defined elsewhere. In the document, the method provides measurement of prokaryotic bacterial cells, though eukaryotic microorganisms are out of scope.

NOTE   Eukaryotic microorganisms, especially fungi, are well known to be primary decomposers in land, but the role in hydrosphere has been less documented and is largely unknown yet. Actually, the proportion of fungi in the ocean whole microbial metagenome has been reported as low (fungal reads make up 1,4 % to 2,9 % [2]).

This document specifies a general framework, including principles, requirements and guidance for assessing and reporting investments and financing activities related to climate change. The assessment of these interactions includes the following items: • The impacts of the investment decisions on GHG emissions trends in the real economy. • The compatibility of investment and financing decisions with low carbon transition pathways and climate goals; • The risk on financial value for owners of financial assets (e.g. private equities, listed stocks, bonds, loans) arising from climate goals or climate policies; This standard provides guidance on how to determine benchmarks for low carbon transition pathways and how to assess progress of investment portfolios and financing activities regarding such benchmarks. This standard provides guidance on how to set targets and determine metrics to be used for tracking progress related to low carbon transition pathways and climate goals. This standard describes climate finance actions contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions and climate goals and how to assess their impacts. The low carbon transition pathways in scope can include objectives related to both mitigation and adaptation, and potential other development goals.

This document provides guidance for an organization implementing a management system based on ISO/UNDP 53001, to optimize contributions to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

This document is generic and applicable to all organizations, regardless of the organization’s type or size, or the nature of the products or services delivered.

NOTE 1: This document supports the current UN SDGs and any subsequent global agreements that supersede the 2030 UN Agenda.

NOTE 2: This document does not add to the requirements in ISO/UNDP 53001 or describe the only way to meet those requirements. The use of the term “should” does not weaken any of the requirements in ISO/UNDP 53001 or add new requirements.

This document specifies methods used to determine the concentration of plutonium and neptunium isotopes in water by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu and 237Np). The concentrations obtained can be converted into activity concentrations of the different isotopes[9]. Due to its relatively short half-life and 238U isobaric interference, 238Pu can hardly be measured by this method. To quantify this isotope, other techniques can be used (ICP-MS with collision-reaction cell, ICP-MS/MS with collision-reaction cell or chemical separation). Alpha spectrometry measurement, as described in ISO 13167[10], is currently used[11]. This method is applicable to all types of water having a saline load less than 1 g·l−1. A dilution of the sample is possible to obtain a solution having a saline load and activity concentrations compatible with the preparation and the measurement assembly. A filtration at 0,45 μm is needed for determination of dissolved nuclides. Acidification and chemical separation of the sample are always needed. The limit of quantification depends on the chemical separation and the performance of the measurement device. This method covers the measurement of those isotopes in water in activity concentrations between around[12][13]: — 1 mBq·l−1 to 5 Bq·l−1 for 239Pu, 240Pu and 237Np; — 1 Bq·l−1 to 5 Bq·l−1 for 241Pu. In both cases, samples with higher activity concentrations than 5 Bq·l−1 can be measured if a dilution is performed before the chemical separation. It is possible to measure 241Pu following a pre-concentration step of at least 1 000.
