IEC 60695-2-10:2026 specifies the glow-wire apparatus and common test procedure to simulate the effects of thermal stresses which may be produced by heat sources such as glowing elements or overloaded resistors, for short periods, in order to assess the fire hazard by a simulation technique. The test procedure described in this document is a common test procedure intended for the small-scale tests in which a standardized electrically heated wire is used as a source of ignition. It is a common part of the test procedures applied to end products and to solid electrical insulating materials or other solid combustible materials. A detailed description of each particular test procedure is given in IEC 60695-2-11, IEC 60695-2-12 and IEC 60695-2-13.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

a) revision of 4.3 to add reference to new Annex D;
b) addition of new normative Annex D on "Use of pyrometer for glow-wire test";
c) revision of Clause 3 references to align with ISO 13943:2017.
It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60695-2-11, IEC 60695-2-12, and IEC 60695-2-13.

The present document defines the stage 3 specifications of the Supplementary Service Pre-emptive Priority Call (SS-PPC) for the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA). SS-PPC enables a user to have preferential access to the network resources in a TETRA system in times of congestion including pre-emption of calls. SS-PPC is applicable for pre-emptive priorities including the emergency priority. SS-PPC includes the capability to pre-empt resources needed for higher priority calls and the capability to pre-empt users from ongoing calls in order to move them to higher priority calls. SS-PPC specifies the definition, activation, deactivation and interrogation for the usage of pre-emptive call priorities in the TETRA system. The Switching and Management Infrastructure (SwMI) applies the SS-PPC priorities when it allocates the resources for calls. The SS-PPC operations are defined for the SwMI and for the Mobile Station (MS). SS-PPC is defined to subscribers of one TETRA system, but the subscribers may be located in several TETRA systems and the information flows may be delivered over the Inter System Interface (ISI). SS-PPC is invoked for calls within one TETRA system or for calls that extend over ISI to several TETRA systems. Man-Machine Interface (MMI) and charging principles are outside the scope of the present document. Supplementary Service stage 3 specification is preceded by the stage 1 and the stage 2 specifications of the service. Stage 1 describes the functional capabilities from the user's point of view. Stage 2 defines the functional behaviour in terms of Functional Entities (FEs) and information flows. Stage 3 gives a precise description of the supplementary service from the implementation point of view. It defines the protocol for the service and the encoding rules for the information flows. It defines the processes for the FEs and their behaviour. The described protocols and behaviour apply to the SwMI, for the MS and may be applied over the ISI between TETRA systems. Aspects relating to all supplementary services are detailed in ETSI EN 300 392-9 [3].

This document specifies a method for determining the content of wet gluten and the gluten index for wheat flours (Triticum aestivum L. and Triticum durum Desf.) by mechanical means.

NOTE            This document is related to ICC 137/1[7], ICC 155[8] and AACC Method 38-12.02[9].

This International Standard applies to runners of reaction turbines, regardless of their size and capacity. These can include radial turbines such as Francis turbines, axial turbines such as Kaplan and propeller turbines, as well as diagonal turbines, in all possible configurations. In the case of turbine runners with adjustable blades, the internal mechanical components of the blades' adjustment mechanism are excluded from this document. Pelton turbines, storage pumps and pump-turbines are not covered in this first edition, even though several topics are applicable to these types of hydraulic machines. Specificities and applicability to Pelton turbine and pump-turbines will be discussed in a later revision of the standard
This document outlines the methodologies for conducting a fatigue assessment of turbine runners. It encompasses several key aspects, such as defining the load events to be considered during the assessment, determining stresses for each of these load events, as well as the detailed approaches for assessing fatigue of new and existing runners. Additionally, it includes manufacturing and quality assurance requirements to be complied with to achieve the desired material fatigue properties and effectively apply the proposed fatigue assessment methodologies. This document also contains best practices for performing and analysing onsite strain gauge measurements performed on existing runners to evaluate their fatigue life.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines to assess fatigue in new and existing turbine runners. It does not specify if a fatigue assessment should be performed or not for a given runner. However, Annex B provides guidance to evaluate the necessity of realizing a fatigue assessment or not for a given new runner. The methods described in this document can also be used for remaining life assessments of in-service runners. However, it is important to consider that the assessed runner materials' fatigue properties and quality level could differ from the prescriptions found in the manufacturing and quality assurance section of this document which have been defined for new runners. It is also important to mention that fatigue assessment alone is not sufficient for a complete validation of the mechanical integrity of a new runner design. Other mechanical validations not covered in this document are typically conducted.

This document specifies procedures for the detection of a DNA sequence of a construct used to (genetically) enhance the growth of fish commonly found in aquaculture. The genetically modified AquAdvantage Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) carries the construct expressing CS-GHc2 growth hormone and can be detected based on a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting either the border between the growth hormone coding sequence (CS-GHc2) of Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Chinook salmon) and the antifreeze terminator (T-AFP) of (Macro-) Zoarces americanus (ocean pout), i.e. with the construct-specific method, or the border between the Atlantic salmon genomic DNA and the antifreeze promoter (P-AFP) of ocean pout, i.e. with the event-specific method. These methods can be applied to identify the genetically modified (GM) fish or for screening purposes.
This document is applicable for the analysis of DNA extracted from foodstuffs. It can also be suitable for the analysis of DNA extracted from other products such as feedstuffs. The application of these methods requires the extraction of an adequate amount of amplifiable DNA from the relevant matrix.

This document specifies the performance and the functional characteristics of the low voltage static uninterruptible power supply (SUPS) systems in a nuclear power plant (NPP) and, when applicable, in nuclear facilities in general. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is an electrical equipment which draws electrical energy from a source, stores it, and maintains the supply in a specified form by means inside the equipment to output terminals. A SUPS has no rotating parts to perform its functions.
The specific design requirements for the components of the power supply system are covered by IEC standards and other standards listed in the normative references. Otherwise, specific component-level design requirements are outside the scope of this document.
