This part of ISO 23611 provides guidance for the design of field studies with soil invertebrates (e.g. for the monitoring of the quality of a soil as a habitat for organisms). Detailed information on the sampling of the most important soil organisms is provided in the other parts of this International Standard (ISO 23611-1 to ISO 23611-5).

This part of ISO 23611 is used for all terrestrial biotopes in which soil invertebrates occur. Basic information on the design of field studies in general is already laid down in ISO 10381-1. This information can vary according to the national requirements or the climatic/regional conditions of the site to be sampled.

NOTE While this part of ISO 23611 aims to be applicable globally for all terrestrial sites that are inhabited by soil invertebrates, the existing information refers mostly to temperate regions. However, the (few) studies from other (tropical and boreal) regions, as well as theoretical considerations, allow the conclusion that the principles laid down in this part of ISO 23611 are generally valid, References [4], [6], [40], [21].

This part of ISO 23611 gives information on site-specific risk assessment of contaminated land, study of potential side effects of anthropogenic impacts (e.g. the application of chemicals or the building of roads), the biological classification and assessment of soils in order to determine the biological quality of soils, and longterm biogeographical monitoring in the context of nature protection or restoration, including global change (e.g. as in long-term ecological research projects).

Such facilities include theatres, multi-purpose halls, exhibition halls; film, television and radio studios; concert halls, schools, bars, discotheques, open-air stages and other rooms for shows and events. The document applies to machinery installations with guided or unguided loads. This document covers machinery used in the entertainment industry including machinery that is excluded from the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) specifically Article 1, 2(j) which excludes “machinery intended to move performers during artistic performances”. This machinery includes controls, electrical and electronic control systems, electrical and electronic equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic power supplies. The principles in this document also apply to machinery installations based on new technologies or specially designed installations which are not expressly mentioned here but which nevertheless operate in a similar manner or are meant for similar purposes to the equipment listed above.

This European Standard specifies a method to determine the macroscopic impurities > 2 mm and stones > 5 mm in compost and digestate. Macroscopic impurities are contaminants not naturally occurring in soil such as pieces of glass, metal, plastics, rubber, cigarette buds etc.) This method is not able to make a distinction between compostable and non-compostable plastics. Fragments of wood or bark are acceptable constituents of the sample and not classified as macroscopic impurities.

This International Standard describes a test method that covers the determination of fracture resistance of silicon nitride bearing balls at room temperature by the indentation fracture (IF) method, as specified in ISO 26602. This International Standard is intended for use with monolithic silicon nitride ceramics for bearing balls. It does not include other ceramic materials. This International Standard is for material comparison and quality assurance. Indentation fracture resistance, KI, IFR as defined in this International Standard is not to be equated to fracture toughness determined using other test methods such as KIsc and KIpb.

This document specifies the dimensions of a mouth finish for stoppers and capsules for glass bottles containing a wine that has a carbonation not exceeding 1,2 g CO2/l, with internal sealing. Two options of finish height are proposed, 14 and 16 mm, the most common one being 16 mm. NOTE Carbonation over 1,2 g CO2/l requires a suitable container and stopper agreed between the glassmaker, the stopper manufacturer, and the packer/filler.

This document describes functional requirements and recommendations for an accessible and usable built environment, following a "Universal Design"/"Design for All" approach which will facilitate equitable and safe use for a wide range of users, including persons with disabilities. This document also describes performance requirements as applicable for an accessible and usable built environment. The requirements and recommendations given in this document are applicable across the full spectrum of the built environment. These requirements and recommendations for an accessible and usable built environment are relevant to design, construction, refurbishment or adaptation, and maintenance, including outdoor pedestrian and urban areas. NOTE 1 ‘Design for All’ and ‘Universal Design’ share a similar inclusive design philosophy. "Universal Design" means the design of products, environments, programmes and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. "Universal Design" does not exclude assistive devices for particular groups of persons with disabilities where this is needed. NOTE 2 Terms such as "design for all", "universal design", "accessible design", "barrier-free design", "inclusive design" and "transgenerational design" are often used interchangeably with the same meaning. NOTE 3 This document does not cover management and maintenance issues, but provides basic information in Annex B. NOTE 4 All figures are provided as examples. They are described by their title and key and do not provide additional information. Some figures show negative examples to be avoided; these are identified by the insertion of a red cross on them. A list of all the figures included is this document is given in the informative Annex C. NOTE 5 In the case of refurbishment or adaptations of existing buildings or infrastructures, a specific study including feasibility determines the extent to which the functional requirements and recommendations can be met.

This document specifies the requirements for closing and locking devices of heavy rail freight wagons including durability, their status indication, maintenance and recycling. Annex A specifies pass-fail criteria for the dimensioning tests. This document is not applicable to closing and locking devices which are used to ensure a pressure difference or to retain liquids/liquid payloads. This document is not applicable to heavy rail freight wagons which are emptied by pressure, nor is it applicable to lose tarpaulins.

This document specifies the identification of radionuclides and the measurement of their activity in soil using in situ gamma spectrometry with portable systems equipped with germanium or scintillation detectors.

This document is suitable to rapidly assess the activity of artificial and natural radionuclides deposited on or present in soil layers of large areas of a site under investigation.

This document can be used in connection with radionuclide measurements of soil samples in the laboratory (see ISO 18589-3) in the following cases:

— routine surveillance of the impact of radioactivity released from nuclear installations or of the evolution of radioactivity in the region;

— investigations of accident and incident situations;

— planning and surveillance of remedial action;

— decommissioning of installations or the clearance of materials.

It can also be used for the identification of airborne artificial radionuclides, when assessing the exposure levels inside buildings or during waste disposal operations.

Following a nuclear accident, in situ gamma spectrometry is a powerful method for rapid evaluation of the gamma activity deposited onto the soil surface as well as the surficial contamination of flat objects.

NOTE The method described in this document is not suitable when the spatial distribution of the radionuclides in the environment is not precisely known (influence quantities, unknown distribution in soil) or in situations with very high photon flux. However, the use of small volume detectors with suitable electronics allows measurements to be performed under high photon flux.

This document specifies requirements for tests, test procedures and acceptance criteria for production testing of industrial valves made of metallic materials. NOTE The specified tests can also be used as type tests or acceptance tests. This document does not apply to: - industrial valves of thermoplastic materials; - safety valves and bursting discs (safety accessories); - sight glass with its frames (component of a pressure equipment). When specified as a normative reference in a valve product or performance standard, this document is to be considered in conjunction with given specific requirements of the valve product or performance standard. Where requirements in a product or performance standard differ from those given in this document, the requirements of the product or performance standard apply.

This document specifies requirements for an experimental method to prove that representative samples of valve shells and their body ends, made in cast iron, steel or copper alloy materials, are designed to possess the required pressure containing capability, with an adequate margin of safety. This document is not applicable to valves designed on the basis of time dependent strength values (creep) or valves designed for pulsating pressure applications (fatigue). For valves in the scope of the European legislation for pressure equipment, the sole use of an experimental method is only permitted when the maximum allowable pressure at room temperature, PS, multiplied by the DN-number is less than 3 000 bar. This document is used to supplement the tabulation method EN 12516-1:2014+A1:2018, and the calculation method EN 12516-2:2014+A1:2021 without limit.

This document specifies three methods for the determination of ash from raw rubbers, compounded rubbers and vulcanizates. The methods are applicable to raw, compounded or vulcanized rubbers of the M, N, O, R and U families described in ISO 1629, except that:

— Method A is not used for the determination of ash from compounded or vulcanized rubbers containing chlorine, bromine or iodine;

— Method B is used for compounded or vulcanized rubbers containing chlorine, bromine or iodine. It shall not be used for uncompounded rubbers;

— Method C is intended to be used for the determination of ash from raw, compounded or vulcanized rubber not containing chlorine, bromine or iodine by wrapping the test portion in ashless filter paper;

— Lithium and fluorine compounds might react with silica crucibles to form volatile compounds, giving low ash results. Platinum crucibles shall therefore be used for ashing fluorine-containing and lithium-polymerized rubbers.

This document does not cover the interpretation of the ash results as to the inorganic chemical content of a compound or vulcanizate. This is the responsibility of the analyst, who has to be aware of the behaviour of rubber additives at elevated temperatures.

The scope of this document is limited to fuel storage systems containing fuel cell grade hydrogen according to ISO 14687 type II grade D. The content is mainly focused on heavy duty vehicles for road operation but may also be applied to on-board fuel storage systems for other road vehicles, industrial and other land vehicles with due consideration of appropriate service conditions.

ISO 1891-2:2014 specifies terms and definitions for fastener coatings, primarily intended for corrosion protection and functional purposes. These terms are mainly intended for use in conjunction with ISO 4042, ISO 10683 and ISO 10684.

The standard specifies interoperability requirements for personal health decision support (PHDS) based on the actors participating in PHDS, including service providers, data providers, and clients. The specifics of ‘how’ PHDS services are developed or implemented is not considered to be within the scope.

Organizations with responsibility for managing facilities, including arrangements for the delivery of facility services, can operate from within a demand organization or be external to it, i.e. on the supply side. The facility management organization, or FMO as it is termed, is the focus of attention for this new standard, which is aimed at providing guidance, with recommendations, on the development of the FMO. The standard will cover governance, leadership, accountability, management oversight, value drivers, risk, organizational structure, stakeholder engagement, social responsibility and ethical behaviour with respect to all FMOs, as well as factors influencing their successful operation. It will also cover the practical matter of the external multi-service provider that aspires to offer management-led facility management over and above the day-to-day delivery of operational facility services.
