This document specifies Type S1 software measurement standards, reference data, and Type S2 software measurement standards, reference software, for verifying the software of measuring instruments. It also specifies the surface data file (SDF) format of Type S1 software measurement standards for the calibration of instruments for the measurement of surface texture by the profile and areal method as defined in the profile and areal surface texture chain of standards, the chain links F and G.
The SDF format applies to profile and areal topography measurement data extracted with an orthogonal grid (see ISO 14406:2010, 5.2) and equidistant sampling intervals, regardless of the measurement principle.
NOTE            Throughout this document, the terms “reference data” and “reference software” are used as substitutes for software measurement standards of Type S1 and Type S2, respectively. In practice, “reference data” is sometimes referred to as “software gauge” or “softgauge”.

This document specifies the conditions to be taken into consideration when calculating the strength and the stability of GSE. It also specifies general test methods.
This part of EN 1915 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-1:2023, EN ISO 31915-3:2026 (for self-propelled GSE) and EN 1915-4:2004+A1:2009, and with the relevant part of EN 12312 to give the requirements for the types of GSE within the scope of EN 12312.
When EN 12312 does not contain a relevant part for a GSE, EN 1915 (all parts) gives general requirements that may apply, although additional machine specific requirements, to be determined by the manufacturer, are likely to be required.
NOTE   The methods given in this document demonstrate one way of achieving an acceptable safety level. Methods that produce comparable results can be used.
This document does not establish additional requirements for the following:
a)   operation elsewhere than in an airport environment;
b)   operation in severe conditions, e.g. ambient temperature below −20 °C or over 50 °C, tropical or saturated salty atmospheric environment;
c)   hazards caused by wind velocity in excess of the figures given in this document;
d)   earthquake, flood, landslide, lightning and more generally any natural catastrophe.
This document is not applicable to GSE which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this document.

This document specifies the dimensions, the method of sampling and the preparation of the test specimens, also the conditions for performing the low temperature tensile test perpendicular to the weld in order to determine the low temperature tensile welding factor.
A low temperature tensile test can be used in conjunction with other tests (e.g. bend, tensile creep, macro) to assess the performance of welded assemblies, made from thermoplastics materials.
The low temperature tensile welding factor and the appearance of the fracture surface provide a guide regarding the ductility of the joint and the quality of the work.
This document is applicable to co-axial or co-planar welded assemblies made from thermoplastics materials filled or unfilled, but not reinforced, irrespective of the welding process used.
This document does not apply to co-axial welded assemblies of an external diameter less than 20 mm.

This document specifies requirements for assessment of the mechanical strength of metal profiles incorporating a thermal barrier having mechanical performance depending on their intended use.
It also specifies the tests to determine the characteristic values of mechanical properties of the thermal barrier profile and to assess the effect of different conditionings of the thermal barrier on the mechanical performance of the connection.
This document does not apply to thermal barriers which do not give a contribution to the mechanical resistance of the profiles.
This document is applicable to thermal barrier profiles designed mainly for windows, doors, screens and curtain walls.
This document does not apply to thermal barriers made only of metal profiles connected with metal pins or screws.
This current edition of EN 14024 will supersede EN 14024:2004. Differences in test procedures between the two versions will not lead to significant differences in test results. Therefore, existing test results according to EN 14024:2004 are considered as equivalent to new test results according to the current edition of EN 14024.

This document defines the terms used in acoustic emission testing and forms a common basis for standards and general use.

This document specifies methods for determining fracture toughness in terms of K, δ, J and R-curves for homogeneous metallic materials subjected to quasistatic loading. Specimens are notched, precracked by fatigue and tested under slowly increasing displacement. The fracture toughness is determined for individual specimens at or after the onset of ductile crack extension or at the onset of ductile crack instability or unstable crack extension. In cases where cracks grow in a stable manner under ductile tearing conditions, a resistance curve describing fracture toughness as a function of crack extension is measured. In some cases in the testing of ferritic materials, unstable crack extension can occur by cleavage or ductile crack initiation and growth, interrupted by cleavage extension. The fracture toughness at crack arrest is not covered by this document. Special testing requirements and analysis procedures are necessary when testing weldments, and these are described in ISO 15653 which is complementary to this document.
Statistical variability of the results strongly depends on the fracture type, for instance, fracture toughness associated with cleavage fracture in ferritic steels can show large variation. For applications that require high reliability, a statistical approach can be used to quantify the variability in fracture toughness in the ductile-to-brittle transition region, such as that given in ASTM E1921. However, it is not the purpose of this document to specify the number of tests to be carried out nor how the results of the tests are to be applied or interpreted.

This document specifies a rapid method for the determination of the oil and water contents in oilseeds using pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
It is applicable to rapeseeds, linseeds and sunflower seeds with a water content less than 10 % and soya beans with a water content less than 14 %. For seeds with higher water contents, drying is necessary before the water and oil content can be determined by pulsed NMR.
NOTE 1        This method has been tested with rapeseeds, soya beans, linseeds and sunflower seeds. This does not, however, preclude its applicability to other commercial seeds whose oil is liquid at the temperature of measurement.
NOTE 2        The reproducibility values obtained are generally higher than those obtained by the reference methods (see ISO 659 and ISO 665) because they depend on the variability between the instruments and on that existing between the calibrations, which depends on the measurement accuracy of the reference methods.
NOTE 3        The results of the comparison test between different magnets and different volumes of seed samples (see Annex B) are in coherence with the results of the interlaboratory test (see Annex A).

This project proposal addresses:
• the development of a data exchange format, based on Transmodel (EN12896) and NeTEx (CEN/TS 16614), focused on a minimum set of Public Transport raw data needed for quantitative analysis in public transport services. For instance, the elaboration of standardized operational data (e.g., observed run times, passenger load) collected during service operations is an input for strategic planning (e.g., how and when to amend the schedules), tactical planning (e.g., when to undertake a certain control action), quality follow-up, etc.
• the development of a glossary for public transport aiming at assigning to each concept used in Public Transport, a unique “standard” term.
This project proposal develops a data exchange format and API, that will be documented in a Technical Specification (TS) focusing on the exchange of a minimum set of Public Transport raw data needed for quantitative analysis in public transport services.
The exchange protocol format will be based on NeTEx standard, in particular:
• CEN/TS 16614-1:2020 Network topology;
• CEN/TS 16614-2:2020 Scheduled Timetables;
Raw data identification and description will be compliant with Transmodel (EN 12896), with particular emphasis on Data Dictionary description and Part 8 Management Information Statistics.
OpRa will also develop a Public Transport unified glossary to harmonised terms and definitions from existing data dictionaries.
