This document specifies a calculation method to determine the thermal transmittance of glass with flat and parallel surfaces. This document applies to uncoated glass (including glass with structured surfaces, e.g. patterned glass), coated glass and materials not transparent in the far infrared which is the case for soda lime glass products, borosilicate glass, glass ceramic, alkaline earth silicate glass and alumino silicate glass. It applies also to multiple glazing comprising such glasses and/or materials. It does not apply to multiple glazing which include in the gas space sheets or foils that are far infrared transparent. The procedure specified in this document determines the U value (thermal transmittance) in the central area of glazing. The edge effects due to the thermal bridge through the spacer of an insulating glass unit or through the window frame are not included. Furthermore, energy transfer due to solar radiation is not taken into account. The effects of Georgian and other bars are excluded from the scope of this document. NOTE EN ISO 10077 1:2017 provides a methodology for calculating the overall U value of windows, doors and shutters [1], taking account of the U value calculated for the glass components according to this document. Also excluded from the calculation methodology are any effects due to gases that absorb infrared radiation in the 5 to 50 µm range. The primary purpose of this document is product comparison, for which a vertical position of the glazing is specified. In addition, U values are calculated using the same procedure for other purposes, in particular for predicting: - heat loss through glass; - conduction heat gains in summer; - condensation on glass surfaces; - the effect of the absorbed solar radiation in determining the solar factor [2]. Reference can be made to [3], [4] and [5] or other European Standards dealing with heat loss calculations for the application of glazing U values determined by this standard. Reference can be made to [6] for detailed calculations of U values of glazing, including shading devices. Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG) is excluded from the scope of this document. For determination of the U value of VIG, please refer to EN 674 or ISO 19916-1. A procedure for the determination of emissivity is given in EN 12898. The rules have been made as simple as possible consistent with accuracy.

The method is applicable for microplastics up to 1 mm in size.

The method is applicable for microplastics with densities lower than 1,4 g/cm3.

This document will not specify downstream detection methods for the identification and quantification.

The method in this document has not been validated for microplastic extraction from other matrices, except for composts.

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 method for extraction, separation, and determination of inorganic arsenic (iAs) in organic or organo-mineral fertilizers using anion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or ion chromatography (IC) coupled to ICP-MS. This document is applicable to fertilizing product blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants and where the following category organic fertilizer or organo-mineral fertiliser is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass.

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.
