This document specifies an implementable, conformance-testable coverage structure based on the abstract schema for coverages defined in the ISO 19123-1 coverage fundamentals. This document defines a concrete data structure that is suitable for encoding in many formats.

This document specifies requirements and provides guidance for bodies providing audit and certification of compliance management systems (CMS), in addition to the requirements contained within ISO/IEC 17021-1 [3]. Observance of these requirements is intended to ensure that certification bodies provide audit and certification in a competent, consistent and impartial manner.

This document specifies photometric methods of test for comparing in the visible spectrum: the tinting strength of two similar coloured pigments dispersed in an alkyd resin without a drier; the scattering power of two white pigments of the same type dispersed in an alkyd resin without a drier. This document does not apply to the comparison of coloured pigments that on reduction differ greatly in colour.

This document specifies an accelerated method for the determination of wet-scrub resistance. The determination of cleanability is not covered in the scope of this document. NOTE The ability of coatings to withstand wear caused by repeated cleaning operations is an important consideration both from a practical point of view and when comparing and rating such coatings. Since wet-scrub resistance depends not only on the quality of a coating but also on the substrate, the method of application, the drying conditions and other factors, the results obtained are not directly transferable to actual practice. In this document, the evaluation of the coating is based on a defined substrate, a fixed application method, specified drying conditions and a defined method of wet scrubbing.

The general principles of test performance are described and example evaluations of rotational and oscillatory rheometry are provided.

This document specifies the conditions for conducting axial, constant-amplitude, force-controlled, fatigue tests at ambient, elevated, and low temperature on metallic specimens, without deliberately introduced stress concentrations. The object of testing while employing this document is to provide fatigue information, such as the relation between applied stress and number of cycles to failure for a given material condition, such as microstructure, at various stress ratios. While the form, preparation and testing of specimens of circular and rectangular cross-section are described, component testing and other specialized forms of testing are not included in this document. NOTE 1 Fatigue tests on notched specimens are not covered by this document since the shape and size of notched test pieces have not been standardized. However, fatigue-test procedures described in this document can be applied to fatigue tests of such notched specimens. NOTE 2 Throughout this document, the engineering stress is employed. Engineering stress is equal to the axially applied force divided by the cross-sectional area of the test specimen, S = Force/Area, [MPa], at the test temperature.

This document establishes the basic dimensions and the functional and strength requirements of corner and intermediate cast fittings for series 1 freight containers, i.e. containers which conform to ISO 668 and ISO 1496 (all parts), with the exception of air mode containers (see ISO 8323). Recognizing that there are containers which have ratings and dimensions different from ISO Series 1 containers referred to in ISO 668, which can be fitted with corner fitting of the same design as those described in this document, or of another design, special arrangements for certification of any fittings for such containers can be required.

This document specifies requirements and provides recommendations for campsite facilities and services, covering the following: campsite layout and design; sanitation and other important facilities; sustainability; inclusivity and accessibility; safety and security. This document aims to ensure that campsite facilities, amenities, services and management practices meet basic safety and environmental requirements, while providing a good quality camping experience for guests. This document applies to campsites in natural or developed areas that are designed and managed to provide pitches for guests using their own camping units (such as tents, leisure accommodation vehicles including caravans, motor caravans or camper vans) and/or static or semi-permanent accommodation units (such as camping houses, mobile homes, rental caravans, safari tents or similar) supplied by the campsite operator. This document applies to campsite owners, operators and regulators.

• the VSAT operates through a geostationary satellite at least 2° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area;
• the VSAT antenna diameter does not exceed 7,3 m, or equivalent effective area;
• the VSAT is either:
- a transmit-only VSAT: designed for transmission-only of radio-communications signals in the frequency band (earth-to-space) specified in the present clause; or
- a transmit-and-receive VSAT: designed for transmission-and-reception of radio-communications signals in the frequency bands specified in the present clause; or

The VSAT has to implement Control and Monitoring Functions with either Class A or Class B (structures of the radio states). The specifications associated to the CCMF facility are outside the scope of the present document. The present document applies to the VSAT with its ancillary equipment and its various terrestrial ports, and when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile defined for the intended use of the VSAT including all equipment as brought to the market. The present document does not contain any requirement, recommendation or information about the installation of the VSAT. All parts of the indoor unit related to reception, processing and presentation of the received information except the control channel are not within the scope of the present document. The syntax of the control channel messages is outside the scope of the present document. The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive) [i.5] article 3.2. NOTE: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.5] is given in annex A.

This document specifies what climate data from climate projections are and where to find relevant climate data suited for infrastructure climate adaptation and resilience-building needs. This document gives support to both standards users and standards writers (with the emphasis on standards users) whether detailed climate data and information is specified in a standard, such as in a National Annex, or the standard requires the user to determine relevant climate data and information as a separate exercise. This document is relevant to all climate system data. Users of this Technical Report can also find this document helpful in dealing with derived climate system data, e.g. atmospheric pollution, flooding, ground water levels, wave heights. In addition, guidance is provided for designers of cross-border infrastructure systems, for example on the harmonisation of climate data used.
This document is intended for infrastructure owners, designers, operators and maintainers and staff of central/ regional authorities who are responsible for infrastructure within countries that are associated with CEN/CENELEC. Users includes the national standards’ bodies and authorities who will be responsible for the use of climate data in national annexes to standards.
The document does not define or prescribe the broader climate service delivery process, co-production methodologies, or stakeholder engagement practices.
