This document is directed specifically at the lower end of the concentration range covered in ISO 20847. By selecting the instrument type, a better signal-to-background ratio for sulfur K L2,3 emission is assured. A knowledge of the general composition of the sample for analysis is advantageous in obtaining the best test result. Compared to the previous version new fuels have been added to the scope. In addition, the precision and bias statements as well as the concentration range were updated based on results of a new interlaboratory study. This has been done for gasoline and diesel type fuels including new fuels HVO and GTL as well as for FAME type samples.

This document also provides explanations to assist the user in understanding the concepts involved. This document defines the specification operator (see ISO 17450-2) used to establish a datum or datum system. The verification operator (see ISO 17450-2) can take different forms (physically or mathematically) and is not the subject of this document. NOTE The detailed rules for maximum and least material requirements for datums are given in ISO 2692.

This document describes a method for determining the traces of benzene in essential oils and aromatic extracts, using static head space gas chromatography. It applies to contents from 1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg in the analysed product.

This document applies to all mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) intended for moving a person(s) along with their necessary tools and materials at an elevated work location. This document specifies the requirements for selection, inspection, training, maintenance, repair and safe operation of MEWPs to achieve the following objectives: a) eliminate or reduce accidents, personal injuries and property damage; b) establish criteria for selection, inspection, training, maintenance, repair and safe operation; c) help manufacturers, dealers, owners, users, operators, occupants and qualified persons to understand their responsibilities; d) establish a process for reviews to verify compliance with this document; e) provide a guide for governmental authorities desiring to formulate safety rules and regulations. In this document, MEWP classifications comprise a MEWP group (platform location in reference to tipping line) with an associated MEWP type (reference to travelling). This document is applicable to both new MEWPs put on the market and those MEWPs currently in service.

This document specifies general performance requirements for washer-disinfectors (WD) and washer-disinfector accessories that are intended to be used for cleaning and disinfection of reusable medical devices. It specifies performance requirements for cleaning and disinfection as well as for the accessories that can be required to achieve the necessary performance. The methods and instrumentation required for validation, routine control and monitoring and requalification, periodically and after essential repairs, are also specified. NOTE 1 The requirements can be applied to WD intended for use with other articles used in the context of medical, dental, pharmaceutical and veterinary practice. The requirements for WD intended to process specific loads are specified in ISO 15883-2, ISO 15883-3, ISO 15883-4, ISO 15883-6 and ISO 15883-7. For WD intended to process loads of two or more different types, the requirements of the applicable parts of ISO 15883-2, ISO 15883-3, ISO 15883-4, ISO 15883-6 and ISO 15883-7 apply. This document does not specify requirements intended for machines for use for laundry or general catering purposes. This document does not include requirements for machines which are intended to sterilize the load, or which are designated as “sterilizers” and addressed in other standards. The specified performance requirements of this document do not ensure the inactivation or removal of the causative agent(s) (prion protein) of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. NOTE 2 Chemicals in some cleaning agents and disinfectants can react with prion protein in a manner that can inhibit its removal or inactivation. If the presence of prion protein is considered a possibility, then this can influence the choice of cleaning agent and disinfectant. NOTE 3 This document can be used by prospective purchasers and manufacturers as the basis of agreement on the specification of a WD. The test methods for demonstration of conformity with the requirements of this document can also be employed by users to demonstrate continued conformity of the installed WD throughout its service life. Guidance on a routine test programme is given in Annex A.

This document specifies an index test method for the determination of the tensile properties of geosynthetics (polymeric, glass and metallic), using a wide-width strip. This document is applicable to most geosynthetics, including woven geotextiles, nonwoven geotextiles, geocomposites, knitted geotextiles, geonets, geomats and metallic products. It is also applicable to geogrids and similar open-structure geotextiles, but specimen dimensions will possibly need to be altered. It is not applicable to polymeric or bituminous geosynthetic barriers, but it is applicable to clay geosynthetic barriers. This document specifies a tensile test method that covers the measurement of tensile force, elongation characteristics and includes procedures for the calculation of secant stiffness, maximum load per unit width and strain at maximum force. Singular points on the tensile force-extension curve are also indicated. Procedures for measuring the tensile properties of both conditioned and wet specimens are included in this document.

This document establishes requirements for estimating and reporting on performance variations observed when cohorts belonging to different demographic groups engage with biometric enrolment and recognition systems. In this context, performance refers to failure-to-enrol rate, failure-to-acquire rate, shifts in comparison score, recognition error rates, and aspects of response and processing time (throughput). This document is applicable to the following: — demographic group membership; — using phenotypic measures; — reporting on tests; — stating statistical uncertainty estimates; — operational thresholds settings; — equitability; — procurement agency activities. This document also provides terms and definitions to be used when reporting performance variation across demographic groups. This document is applicable to: — technology evaluations of algorithms, subsystems and systems; — scenario evaluations of systems; — operational evaluations of fielded systems. Application of this document does not require detailed knowledge of a system’s algorithms but it does require specific knowledge of the demographic characteristics for the population of interest.

This document specifies the dimensions of polygonal taper receivers with flat contact surface (PTI). These receivers are the machine-side part of the interface to the (in cutting process non-rotating) tool carrier of machine tools (e.g. turret lathes, turning centres). This document specifies four types of machine-side interface types, which differ at the face contact. The bores for receiving the tool shanks themselves are designed identically for all types. — Receiver type F has one hole for the coolant supply (F = fluid); PTI-F type tool holder can be installed in 0°- and 180°-position. — Receiver type H has a primary coolant hole for the main supply and a secondary coolant hole for an intermediate tool position on the face contact (H = half). For PTI type H holders an installation position offset by 180° is not possible. — Receiver type A has one hole on the face contact for the primary coolant supply and one additional hole for supplying the tool holder (driven tool) with sealing air (A = air). Two more bores allow the installation of PTI-A holders with spring-type straight pin in 0°- and 180°-position. — Receiver type X has a primary coolant hole for the main supply and a secondary coolant hole for an intermediate tool position on the face contact. In addition, the type X receiver has one hole for supplying the tool holder (driven tool) with sealing air and two bores for the 0°- and 180°-position of the spring-type straight pin of PTI-A holders.
