This document specifies the method of instrumented indentation test for determination of hardness and other materials parameters for the following three ranges:
macro range: 2 N ≤ F ≤ 30 kN;
micro range: 2 N > F; h > 0,2 µm;
nano range: h ≤ 0,2 µm.
For the nano range, the mechanical deformation strongly depends on the real shape of indenter tip and the calculated material parameters are significantly influenced by the contact area function of the indenter used in the testing machine. Therefore, careful calibration of both instrument and indenter shape is required in order to achieve an acceptable reproducibility of the materials parameters determined with different machines.
The macro and micro ranges are distinguished by the test forces in relation to the indentation depth.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the micro range has an upper limit given by the test force (2 N) and a lower limit given by the indentation depth of 0,2 µm.
The determination of hardness and other material parameters is given in the normative Annex A.
At high contact pressures, damage to the indenter is possible. For test pieces with very high hardness and modulus of elasticity, permanent indenter deformation can occur and can be detected using suitable reference materials. Indentations that result in damage or permanent deformation of the indenter are excluded from the scope of this test method.
This test method can also be applied to thin metallic and non-metallic coatings and non-metallic materials. In this case, it is recommended that the specifications in the relevant standards be taken into account (see also 7.3 and ISO 14577-4).
The analysis methods of this standard assume that materials behave like ideal materials. Any deviation (internal stress, pile-up, sink-in, densification, phase transitions, cracks) will result in additional uncertainties. This becomes especially important if comparisons shall be done to material parameters, obtained with other methods.

This document specifies requirements for the safety of children's sleep bags which are used in the children's sleeping environment (i.e. not under supervision) and designed to provide sufficient warmth so as to remove the need for additional bedding when sleeping in a cot or similar product (e.g. crib/cradle) in which a child is contained. It is applicable to products for use by children up to the age of 24 months.
NOTE   Requirements of this document are not relevant when sleep bags are used for children over the age of 24 months or when they have the ability to climb out of a cot or sleep in a bed.
This document does not apply to products
-   designed for use during the care of premature children, or
-   designed for children of low birthweight (i.e. lower than 2,5 kg - see B.1), or
-   designed for medical settings or for children with special medical needs (see B.1), or
-   for outdoor use or to products designed to keep a child warm in a pushchair (e.g. foot muff) (see B.1), or
-   for use in a car restraint system for children (see B.1).
If a part of the children's sleep bag is designed to offer additional function (e.g. play function, swaddling functions), this part will, in addition to the following requirements, be subjected to safety requirements related to relevant standards (see B.1).

IEC 60601-2-28:2017 applies to the basic safety and essential performance of X-ray tube assemblies and to components thereof, intended for medical diagnosis and imaging. Where the general standard IEC 60601-1 and the collateral standard IEC 60601-1-3 refer to me equipment, this is interpreted as X-ray tube assemblies in this particular standard. If a clause or subclause is specifically intended to be applicable to ME equipment only, or to ME systems only, the title and content of that clause or subclause will say so. If that is not the case, the clause or subclause applies both to ME equipment and to ME systems, as relevant. The third edition of this particular standard has been prepared to fit IEC 60601-1:2005 and IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012 (the amended third edition of IEC 60601-1), which is referred to as the general standard. Apart from the changes related to the amendment of IEC 60601-1, changes related to technical improvements are also included.

This document specifies principles, requirements and guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality through the quantification, reduction and offsetting of the carbon footprint. This document defines terms used in relation to carbon neutrality and provides guidance on the actions necessary to achieve and demonstrate carbon neutrality. In accordance with common practice, it uses the word “carbon” to refer to all greenhouse gases (GHGs) in compound expressions such as “carbon neutrality”. It is applicable to a wide range of subjects such as organizations (including companies, local authorities and financial institutions) and products (goods or services, including buildings and events). It is not intended to be used for territories (such as regions, countries, states or cities), including signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) when reporting national outcomes for the purposes of that Convention. This document establishes a hierarchy for carbon neutrality where GHG emission reductions (direct and indirect) and GHG removal enhancements within the value chain take priority over offsetting. It includes requirements for carbon neutrality commitments and making carbon neutrality claims. This document is GHG programme neutral. If a GHG programme is applicable, the requirements of that GHG programme are additional to the requirements of this document.

This document describes the criteria and procedures used by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to certify the calibration material SRM 2806d, which is used in the primary calibration of liquid automatic particle counters (APCs). SRM 2806d is a suspension of SAE 5 - 80 μm test dust in hydraulic fluid with a cumulative particle concentration determined through a consensus measurement processes, interlaboratory study (ILS), utilizing APCs. The original projected area equivalent diameters for SRM 2806 were certified using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and image analysis techniques traceable to the meter through the NIST line scan interferometer.
