This document specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of a food loss and waste management system (FLW management system) complying with the requirements given in ISO 20001 (or other specified FLW management system requirements) and complements the existing requirements of ISO/IEC 17021-1.

Other FLW management system users can use the concepts and requirements of this document provided that the requirements are adapted as necessary.

NOTE This document can be used as a criteria document for the accreditation or peer assessment of certification bodies which seek to be recognized as being competent to certify that an FLW management system complies with ISO 20001 or other sets of specified FLW management system requirements. It is also intended to be used as a criteria document by regulatory authorities and industry consortia which engage in direct recognition of certification bodies to certify that an FLW management system complies with ISO 20001. Some of its requirements can also be useful to other parties involved in the conformity assessment of such certification bodies, and in the conformity assessment of bodies that undertake to certify the compliance of FLW management systems with criteria additional to, or other than, those in ISO 20001.

This document specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for thermal image fire detectors (TIFD), which operate in the infrared spectrum, for use in fire detection and alarm systems installed in and around buildings.

This part of ISO 6142 specifies a gravimetric method for the preparation of calibration gas mixtures in cylinders with traceable values for the amount-of-substance fraction (amount fraction) of one or more components.

This part of ISO 6142 describes a method for calculating the uncertainty associated with the amount fraction of each component. This uncertainty calculation requires the evaluation of the contributions to the uncertainty due to factors including the weighing process, the purity of the components, the stability of the mixture, and the verification of the final mixture.

This part of ISO 6142 is only applicable to mixtures of gaseous or totally vaporized components, which may be introduced into the cylinder in the gaseous or liquid state. Both binary and multi-component gas mixtures (including natural-gas type mixtures) are covered by this part of ISO 6142.

Methods for the batch production of more than one mixture in a single process are not included in this part of ISO 6142.This part of ISO 6142 requires estimation of the stability of the mixture for its intended life time (maximum storage life), but it is not for use with components that react with each other unintentionally.

This part of ISO 6142 also requires the impurities in each parent gas or liquid used in the preparation of the mixture to be assessed and quantified.

This document provides guidance for sectoral stakeholders and product manufacturers in generating ICT product-relevant information based on EN 18037. Sectoral stakeholders are supported in applying the risk and cybersecurity assessment methodology so that the information needs of product manufacturers are covered by the sectoral assessment report. Product manufacturers receive guidance in using methodology according to EN 18037 for own assumptions of their ICT product’s sector-specific risks and security requirements. This document uses a step-by-step approach for guiding sectoral stakeholders and product manufacturers through the assessment. For each step, the relevant information provided by EN 18037 is summarized or referenced and the enhancements or clarifications in support of the information needs of the ICT product manufacturers are pointed out. From the perspective of product manufacturers, the re-use of existing product-specific specifications and certification tools is of particular relevance. Therefore, this document provides guidance how the results of sectoral assessments according to EN 18037 can be connected with these specifications and tools.

This document gives guidance for the enumeration and/or detection of microorganisms present in a cosmetic product that is impregnated or coated onto a substrate (i.e. wipes and masks) where sampling and microbiological influence of the manufactured product presents particular challenges in terms of microbiological sampling and testing. The principle of this document can also be applied to test similar products (e.g. cushion, impregnated sponge, etc.) or applicators (e.g. brush, puff, sponge, etc.) with modification of the procedure as appropriate.

This document gives guidance on the treatment and reuse of petrochemical refinery wastewater and the possible applications of the treated wastewater. In addition, it also briefly covers the proper disposal and discharge of the residual waste generated from the wastewater treatment plants.

This document specifies the requirements for safeguards against excessive pressure in shell boilers as defined in EN 12953-1:2025.

This document specifies a field method for the assessment of the surface density of various water-soluble salts on steel surfaces, before and/or after surface preparation, by conductometric determination. The individual surface densities of the salt composition like chlorides, sulphates, sodium, etc, cannot be determined by this method. This method assesses only contaminants that forms an electrolyte (ions) when in contact with water. These represent the greater part of the contaminants.

This document specifies a method of extracting, for analysis, acid soluble contaminants from a surface by use of flexible cells in the form of adhesive patches or sleeves which can be attached to any surface, regardless of its shape (flat or curved) and its orientation (facing in any direction, including downwards). The described method is suitable for use in the field to determine the presence of acid soluble contaminants before painting or a similar treatment. This document does not cover the subsequent analysis of the contaminants that have been dissolved off. Methods of analysis suitable for field use are described in other parts of ISO 8502 such as ISO 8502-5. This document is similar in procedure to, but not equal to, ISO 8502-6. The main difference is the solvent used and the subsequent analysis that can be performed on the extraction solution.

The method is applicable to phosphorus contents between 0,003 % (m/m) and 2 % (m/m) in natural iron ores, iron ore concentrates and agglomerates, including sinter products. The presence of arsenic, barium or titanium does not affect the result.

The method ist applicable to a concentration range of 0,005 to 1,0 % (m/m) of fluorine in natural iron ores, and iron ore concentrates and agglomerates including sinter products. Specifies principle, reagents, apparatus, sampling and samples, procedure, expression of results, and test report. ISO 4693 includes three annexes.

This document specifies a method for the determination of extractable metals in leather using extraction with an acid artificial-perspiration solution and subsequent determination with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or spectrometry of atomic fluorescence (SFA). This method determines extractable metals in leather; it is not compound-specific or specific to the oxidation state of the metals. This method is especially suitable for determining the extractable chromium in chromium-tanned leathers.

ISO 17234-2:2011 is supplementary to ISO 17234-1 and describes a special procedure to detect the use of certain azo colorants in commodities, which can release 4-aminoazobenzene. The procedure also detects 4-aminoazobenzene (Solvent Yellow 1) which is already available as free amine in commodities without reducing pretreatment. Azo colorants that are able to form 4-aminoazobenzene generate, under the conditions of ISO 17234‑1, the amines aniline and 1,4-phenylenediamine. The presence of these 4-aminoazobenzene colorants cannot be reliably ascertained without additional information (e.g. the chemical structure of the colorant used) or without a special procedure.

This document specifies techniques for the manual ultrasonic testing of fusion-welded joints in metallic materials of thickness ≥8 mm which exhibit low ultrasonic attenuation (especially that due to scatter) at object temperatures from 0 °C to 60 °C. It is primarily intended for use on full penetration welded joints where both the welded and parent material are ferritic. Where material-dependent ultrasonic values are specified in this document, they are based on steels having an ultrasonic sound velocity of (5 920 ± 50) m/s for longitudinal waves and (3 255 ± 30) m/s for transverse waves. This document specifies four testing levels, each corresponding to a different probability of detection of imperfections. Guidance on the selection of testing levels A, B, and C is given in Annex A. This document specifies that the requirements of testing level D, which is intended for special applications, be in accordance with general requirements. Testing level D can only be used when defined by specification. This includes tests of metals other than ferritic steel, tests on partial penetration welds, tests with automated equipment, and tests at object temperatures outside the range 0 °C to 60 °C. This document can be used for the assessment of discontinuities, for acceptance purposes, by either of the following techniques: a) evaluation based primarily on length and echo amplitude of the discontinuity; b) evaluation based on characterization and sizing of the discontinuity by probe movement techniques.

This document specifies two ultrasonic acceptance levels known as acceptance level 2 (AL 2) and acceptance level 3 (AL 3) for full penetration welded joints in ferritic steels, in accordance with the quality levels of ISO 5817.

These acceptance levels are applicable to testing carried out in accordance with ISO 17640.

This document applies to the testing of fusion-welded joints in metallic materials with low sound attenuation (especially that due to scatter) with thicknesses from 8 mm to 100 mm. It is primarily intended for use on full penetration welded joints where both the welded and parent materials are ferritic. It can also be used for other types of welds, materials and thicknesses, provided the tests have been performed with necessary consideration of the geometry and acoustic properties of the component, and an adequate sensitivity can be employed to enable the acceptance levels of this document to be applied.

The nominal frequency of probes used in this document is between 2 MHz and 5 MHz, unless attenuation or requirements for higher resolution call for other frequencies. It is important to consider the use of these acceptance levels in conjunction with frequencies outside this range carefully.
