This document specifies technical delivery conditions for filler materials and fluxes for fusion welding. This document does not apply to other auxiliary materials such as shielding gases.

This document focuses on a model of a system in homes and buildings that can manage energy consumption and generation of electricity by devices on premises dynamically in response to electricity availability from: sources within the home or building such as solar panels, wind turbines, or storage (stationary or mobile), neighbourhood microgrids, transactive energy, energy aggregators, and public utilities. This document specifies a model including a framework and methods for energy management consisting of interconnected elements that can be configured to support various methods for a Home Electronic System (HES) energy management system. The methods specified are intended to be generic and representative of a wide range of situations. This document applies to the customer grid-edge portion of the electricity grid (within a home or building) and applies even if the consumer has sufficient local power generation to operate without connecting to a public utility. This document includes an energy management model that balances power supplied from internal and external sources with demand from appliances and electric vehicle chargers. The model offers flexibility for locating the energy management equipment in a stand-alone product, embedded in consumer electronics, or hosted in a gateway. This gateway can be a generic communications interface between a home network and an external network, an energy management gateway designed for handling energy-related data, or the HES gateway specified in the ISO/IEC 15045 series. This model specifies a local controller that achieves the allocation of power in accordance with available supplies, consumer preferences for appliance operation, and power requirements of these appliances within constraints set by the consumer. Such constraints are typically financial (a budget for electricity) but can also include goals such as using green sources and minimizing their impact on climate change. This controller is called the energy management agent (EMA) since it acts as an agent for the consumer. This model accommodates an EMA with technology of artificial intelligence to facilitate energy management. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) This edition revises ISO/IEC 15067-3:2012 by expanding beyond demand response to include a balance between multiple sources of power and appliance demands for this power. b) This edition specifies a system framework that addresses the need for user-centric energy management by providing control options for consumers.

This document specifies a control architecture, user interface, and service objects in the HES gateway to enable interworking among home cluster systems and interoperability among the applications supported by these cluster systems. The ISO/IEC 10192 series specifies a common user interface to these cluster-system applications. This common user interface provides input and output methods for user information exchange to access, monitor, control and coordinate applications running on home cluster systems. This document specifies the application object, service and interface modules from the interoperability standard (ISO/IEC 18012 series) necessary for interworking and incorporation of these modules in the HES gateway (ISO/IEC 15045 series).

This document provides general principles, requirements and recommendations for the assessment of stability of fibre-reinforced composite materials for service in equipment used in oil and gas production environments. This document describes the procedures for comparative testing of composite materials consisting of polymers (thermoplastics and thermosets) and re-enforcing materials e.g. glass, carbon, aramid and metals as continuous fibres or woven fabric used in equipment for oil and gas production. Testing and characterization of neat resins and fibre products are beyond the scope of this document. The equipment considered includes, but is not limited to, non-metallic pipelines, piping, liners and downhole tool components. Blistering by rapid gas decompression, coatings and compounded particulate- and short fibre-reinforced composites are excluded from the scope of this document.

This document specifies the identification, data, information services, application guidance aspects and applicable requirements of automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology for different items and their hierarchy in industrial construction during their whole life cycle. This document — provides unique identification for items in industrial construction, — specifies the semantics and data syntax to be used, — specifies the data carriers to be used on items of various categories, substitutes and sizes, — makes recommendations about the metadata of the items, — specifies the application test method and parameters based on the large-scale test and scientific sampling rules, — defines the information services protocol to be used as an interface between business applications and the AIDC system, and — makes guidance for designers, workers, engineers, managers, end users and maintainers about the AIDC application in their daily work.

This document specifies a small-scale laboratory screening procedure for comparing the relative burning behaviour of vertically oriented thin and relatively flexible plastics specimens exposed to a low-energy-level flame ignition source. NOTE These specimens cannot be tested using method B of IEC 60695-11-10:2013 since they distort or shrink away from the applied flame source without igniting. This test method determines the afterflame and afterglow times of specimens. The classification system described in Annex A is intended for quality control and the preselection of component materials for products. The classification established by this method of test is applicable only to the material used for the specimens. NOTE Test results are influenced by material components, e.g. pigments, fillers, concentrations of fire retardants.

ISO 10882-1:2011 specifies a procedure for sampling airborne particles in the breathing zone of a person who performs welding and allied processes (the operator). It also provides details of relevant standards that specify required characteristics, performance requirements and test methods for workplace air measurement, and augments guidance provided in EN 689 on assessment strategy and measurement strategy. ISO 10882-1:2011 also specifies a procedure for making gravimetric measurements of personal exposure to airborne particles generated by welding and allied processes (welding fume) and other airborne particles generated by welding-related operations. Additionally, it provides references to suitable methods of chemical analysis, specified in other standards, to determine personal exposure to specific chemical agents present in welding fume and other airborne particles generated by welding-related operations.
The general background level of airborne particles in the workplace atmosphere influences personal exposure and therefore the role of fixed-point sampling is also considered.

This document specifies a coding system for the classification and designation of solid and flux-cored solder wire, and the performance requirements to be met by flux-cored wire and its constituents. Requirements for sampling, labelling and packaging are also specified.

IEC 61280-2-13:2024 series defines a procedure for calculating the root-mean-square error vector magnitude of optical n-APSK signals from a set of measured symbols. It specifically defines the normalization of the reference states and a procedure for optimal scaling of the measured symbol states. The procedure described in this document applies to single-polarized optical signals as well as to conventional polarization-multiplexed signals with independently modulated polarization tributaries. In general, it is not advisable to apply these procedures without modification to signals, in which optical amplitude, phase, and polarization state are simultaneously modulated to encode the information data. This document does not specify any signal processing steps for extracting the symbols from the received optical signals, because these steps depend on the optical receiver and can vary with the type of the transmitted n-APSK signal. These and optional additional signal processing steps are defined in application-specific documents.
