This document addresses the specification and demonstration of capability and system reliability to successfully deliver a medicinal product as part of design verification and manufacture, utilizing empirical methods as well as modelling. This includes risk-based techniques to establish and demonstrate the required reliability level for all disposable single use drug delivery systems (DDSs) for which there is a single opportunity to deliver a single dose of a medicinal product. DDSs covered by this document include, but are not limited to: — needle-based injection systems (ISO 11608-1); — needle-free injection systems (ISO 21649); — aerosol drug delivery systems (ISO 20072). This document does not cover: — DDSs with containers that can be replaced; — DDSs intended for dental use; — finished needles; — empty syringes; — catheters; — DDSs for multi-patient use; — pumps [IEC 60601-2-24 (if electronic) or ISO 28620 (if non-electronic)]; — stand-alone prefilled syringes defined by ISO 11040-8. In this document system reliability is limited to assessing functional performance of the DDS and does not address human factors or user interface considerations. These will be covered by a usability engineering program in accordance with IEC 62366-1. NOTE DDSs not in scope of this document can still benefit from elements in this document but provisions of this document might not completely fulfil the basic safety and effectiveness of such DDSs.

This document defines the conditions for the execution of welding procedure qualification tests and the limits of validity of a qualified welding procedure for all practical welding operations within the range of essential variables. This document applies to the arc welding of steel castings. The principles of this document can be applied to other fusion welding processes subject to agreement between the contracting parties.

1.1   Product definition
This document contains the dimensional, optical, mechanical and environmental performance requirements of a fully installed optical fibre wall or pole mounted box for up to 288 fibre splices, in order for it to be categorized as a European standard product.
The typical configuration is splicing of incoming fibres to optional splitters, connecting on the other side to outgoing fibres.
A box is a protective housing containing a fibre management system with splice trays of various fibre separation levels. The box can contain one or more of the following:
-   storage and routing for fibre and cable;
-   uncut fibre cable storage;
-   splice trays;
-   passive optical devices (optical splitters or WDM).
A box can be installed on a vertical indoor or outdoor surface above ground level. If the box is required to be relocatable with cables attached, the following additional tests are expected to be performed:
-   cable bending;
-   cable torsion.
This document specifies the number of splice trays and splice capacity for each fibre separation level. The maximum capacity is 288 splices. For housings with a higher number of splices, EN 50411 4 1 (street cabinets) can be used.
Boxes for fibre splice and patchcord connections are covered in EN 50411 3 4.
1.2   Operating environment
The tests selected, combined with the severity and duration, are representative of indoor and outside plant for above ground environments defined by EN IEC 61753 1:
-   category C: Controlled (indoor) environment;
-   category A: Aerial (outdoor above ground) environment.
1.3   Reliability
Whilst the anticipated service life expectancy of the product in this environment is 20 years, compliance with this document does not guarantee the reliability of the product. This is expected to be predicted using a recognized reliability assessment programme.
1.4   Quality assurance
Compliance with this document does not guarantee the manufacturing consistency of the product. This is expected to be maintained using a recognized quality assurance programme.
1.5   Allowed fibre and cable types
This box standard accommodates EN IEC 60793 2 50 single-mode fibres and EN IEC 60793 2 10 A1-OM2 to A1-OM5 and A1-OM1 multimode fibres and all EN 60794 series optical fibre cables with various fibre capacities, types and designs.

This document specifies particular requirements for portable units which are part of a transportable liquid oxygen system and used to provide a controlled flow of oxygen for inhalation by the patient in the home-care environment. Portable units are intended to be used without professional supervision, carried by patients while moving around and during their off-site activities and refilled from a base unit via a transfilling device through the portable unit’s filling port connector. NOTE Requirements that are common to both portable units and base units are specified in ISO 18777-1.

This document specifies test methods for determining the conformance of radio frequency identification (RFID) devices (tags and interrogators) for item management with the specifications given in ISO/IEC 18000-61, ISO/IEC 18000-62 and ISO/IEC 18000-64. However, this document does not apply to the testing of conformance with regulatory or similar requirements. The test methods require only that the mandatory functions, and any optional functions which are implemented, are verified. This can, in appropriate circumstances, be supplemented by further, application-specific functionality criteria that are not available in the general case. The interrogator and tag conformance parameters in this document are the following: — type-specific conformance parameters including nominal values and tolerances; — parameters that apply directly affecting system functionality and inter-operability. Parameters that are already included in regulatory test requirements are not included in this document. Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this document are intended to be applied exclusively to RFID tags and interrogators defined in ISO/IEC 18000-61, ISO/IEC 18000-62 and ISO/IEC 18000-64.

This document specifies the minimum technical information that the manufacturer of earth moving machinery and the manufacturer of interchangeable equipment are required to make available in their instruction handbook.
It is applicable to the combination of earth moving machinery and interchangeable equipment covered by the intended use of each of the products, where the respective manufacturers do not identify in the instruction handbook specific models of interchangeable equipment or compatible host machines for coupling.
It gives guidelines in order to define the essential characteristics of interchangeable equipment and host machine for their safe coupling considering the following significant hazards or hazardous situations:
•   a loss of longitudinal or lateral stability;
•   exceeding maximum dimensions;
•   errors of fitting;
•   access (egress) to (from) operating position(s);
There are cases where specific technical or operational needs may require different approaches, so the information given by the manufacturer of the host machine and/or the manufacturer of the interchangeable equipment may differ from that set out in this document. In these cases, this document does not apply and the analysis of the risks created by the coupling of the host machine and interchangeable equipment shall be carried out by the manufacturer of the interchangeable equipment or by who makes the combined machinery.
The road circulation of the coupled host machine and interchangeable equipment on public roads and the resulting prescriptions are not subject to this document.
It does not cover the design and/or performance requirements for the engagement and locking of interchangeable equipment to the host machine, which is the subject of other European and International standards.
This document does neither deal with lifting persons with earth moving machinery nor with any interchangeable equipment mounted to it.
This document is not applicable to earth moving machinery and interchangeable equipment manufactured before the date of its publication.
