This document is applicable to the sampling of solid fertilizers and liming materials that have a uniform composition and have no tendency to segregate. NOTE 1 The term product is used throughout the body of this document and is understood to include fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors unless otherwise indicated. NOTE 2 Manufacturers, importers and sellers can choose to use this method to obtain samples of other products or blends as well as long as both parties to a transaction agree. The build-up of a static heap often leads to granulometric segregation, which makes the collection of a truly representative sample of many products and blends unlikely. NOTE 3 It is the responsibility of manufacturers, importers and sellers, however, to ensure they supply a product that complies with its label declaration at the moment of delivery and fulfils the expectations of the end user at the moment of application. NOTE 4 A method of obtaining a screening sample from a static heap can be found in Annex B.

This document specifies a reference to the method for the determination of the following specific parameters in inorganic fertilizers: — granulometry; — organic carbon content; — dry matter content. This document is applicable to the fertilizing products 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: inorganic fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If inorganic fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible.

Lidar performance for the union of both ADAS/AD application scenarios. This standard does not address test methods for reliability, functional safety, and cybersecurity. Note: The definition of “Road Vehicles” includes M1~M3, N1~N3, and L6~L7 according to consolidated resolution on the construction of vehicles (R.E.3).

This document specifies a common framework for audit trails for electronic health records (EHR), in terms of audit trigger events and audit data, to keep the complete set of personal health information auditable across information systems and domains. It is applicable to systems processing personal health information that create a secure audit record each time a user reads, creates, updates, or archives personal health information via the system. NOTE      Such audit records at a minimum uniquely identify the user, uniquely identify the subject of care, identify the function performed by the user (record creation, read, update, etc.), and record the date and time at which the function was performed. This document covers only actions performed on the EHR, which are governed by the access policy for the domain where the electronic health record resides. It does not deal with any personal health information from the electronic health record, other than identifiers, the audit record only containing links to EHR segments as defined by the governing access policy. It does not cover the specification and use of audit logs for system management and system security purposes, such as the detection of performance problems, application flaw, or support for a reconstruction of data, which are dealt with by general computer security standards such as ISO/IEC 15408 (all parts)[9]. Annex A gives examples of audit scenarios. Annex B gives an overview of audit log services.

ISO 11737-1:2018 specifies requirements and provides guidance on the enumeration and microbial characterization of the population of viable microorganisms on or in a health care product, component, raw material or package. NOTE 1 The nature and extent of microbial characterization is dependent on the intended use of bioburden data. NOTE 2 See Annex A for guidance on Clauses 1 to 9. ISO 11737-1:2018 does not apply to the enumeration or identification of viral, prion or protozoan contaminants. This includes the removal and detection of the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies, such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. NOTE 3 Guidance on inactivating viruses and prions can be found in ISO 22442‑3, ICH Q5A(R1) and ISO 13022. ISO 11737-1:2018 does not apply to the microbiological monitoring of the environment in which health care products are manufactured.

This document specifies a method for determining the flexural properties of rigid and semi-rigid plastics under defined conditions. A preferred test specimen is defined, but parameters are included for alternative specimen sizes for use where appropriate. A range of test speeds is included. The method is used to investigate the flexural behaviour of the test specimens and to determine the flexural strength, flexural modulus and other aspects of the flexural stress/strain relationship under the conditions defined. It applies to a freely supported beam, loaded at midspan (three-point loading test). The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials: — thermoplastic moulding, extrusion and casting materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to unfilled types; rigid thermoplastics sheets; — thermosetting moulding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds; thermosetting sheets. In agreement with ISO 10350-1[5] and ISO 10350-2[6], this document applies to fibre-reinforced compounds with fibre lengths ≤7,5 mm prior to processing. For long-fibre-reinforced materials (laminates) with fibre lengths >7,5 mm, see ISO 14125[7]. The method is not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials or sandwich structures containing cellular material. In such cases, ISO 1209-1[3] and/or ISO 1209-2[4] can be used. NOTE 1 For certain types of textile-fibre-reinforced plastic, a four-point bending test is used. This is described in ISO 14125. The method is performed using specimens which can be either moulded to the specified dimensions, machined from the central section of a standard multipurpose test specimen (see ISO 20753) or machined from finished or semi-finished products, such as mouldings, laminates, or extruded or cast sheet. The method specifies the preferred dimensions for the test specimen. Tests which are carried out on specimens of different dimensions, or on specimens which are prepared under different conditions, can produce results which are not comparable. Other factors, such as the test speed and the conditioning of the specimens, can also influence the results. NOTE 2 Especially for injection moulded semi-crystalline polymers, the thickness of the oriented skin layer, which is dependent on the moulding conditions, also affects the flexural properties. The method is not suitable for the determination of design parameters but can be used in materials testing and as a quality control test.

This test method covers the determination of the low-rate fracture toughness (JIc) of plastics exhibiting a ductile behaviour and characterized by a macroscopically stable crack growth during a fracture test. The application of standard LEFM tests to these materials typically fails due to the excessive non-linearity in the response. This test method, developed for the SEN(B) testing configuration, describes a single-specimen approach that does not require the measurement of Δa. Not intended to provide a method to construct the material JR curve, this test method allows checking a priori the applicability of the multi-specimen approach based on the Δa measurement for the construction of the material JR curve to a ductile polymer with given specimen geometry and dimensions. This is done by referring to a specially developed crack propagation parameter, which is labelled mS.

This document specifies a method and establishes guidelines for non-destructive testing using active thermography with inductive excitation. By using inductive heating of the test object, this active thermography method is suitable for inspecting test objects made of metals or other electrically conductive materials. Such tests are conducted for: - the detection of surface-breaking discontinuities, particularly cracks; and - the detection of discontinuities located near the surface. The functional principle of the defect detection can be based on a direct interaction of defect and excitation signal (defect selective) or an indirect interaction by using derivations of the applied heat flow. For this purpose, active thermography with inductive excitation is conducted using different sources of excitation (inductors) in reflection and transmission configurations. Areas tested in one shot are typically between a few cm2 and a few hundred cm2, depending on the geometry of the used inductor. In dynamic configuration, larger areas can be tested. Fields of application for active thermography with inductive excitation are to be found in industrial manufacturing and in maintenance (vehicle, drive system and power plant components, jointing technique, semi-finished products, etc.). Active thermography with inductive excitation is also called inductive thermography or eddy-current excited thermography.
