This document defines the terms and specifies the requirements, means of categorization, test methods, minimum labelling requirements and instructions for use of the article, for ignition devices (except ignition devices for pyrotechnic articles for vehicles) of the following generic types:
-   igniters;
-   components for pyrotechnic trains;
-   pyrotechnic cords and fuses;
-   delay fuses;
-   fuzes.
NOTE   Safety fuses are subject to Directive 2014/28/EU [9] and therefore not considered in this document.

This document provides complementary product category rules (c-PCR) for Type III environmental product declarations (EPD) for flat glass and channel shaped glass products for use in buildings and construction works. It describes stages of product’s life cycle considered in the EPD and the processes included in life cycle stages.
Glass-block products are excluded from the scope. All other glass products i.e. intermediate and finished products, intended to be used in buildings and construction works, are in the scope of this document.
Examples of glass products covered by this c-PCR are listed in Annex H.

This document gives guidance on the sample preparation of milk and milk products for physical and chemical analysis, including analysis by applying instrumental methods. This document specifies the (sub)sampling and sample preparation steps carried out after sampling in accordance with ISO 707 | IDF 50 [1] and prior to method-specific sample preparations (e.g. as with analytical methods). NOTE Analysis on volatile substances, minor components or allergens can require additional precautionary measures in sample preparation in order to avoid loss of or contamination with one or more target analytes.

This document specifies procedures for static and cyclic strength tests on lower-limb prostheses (see NOTE 2) which typically produce compound loadings by the application of a single test force. The compound loads in the test sample relate to the peak values of the components of loading which normally occur at different instants during the stance phase of walking. This document specifies Test Ranges (R) by specifying locomotion profiles for the cyclic test in relation to the intended use. According to the concept of the tests of this document, each sample of lower limb prosthetic device or structure submitted for test is, nevertheless, free to develop its individual performance under load. The tests described in this document comprise: principal static and cyclic tests for all components; a separate static test in torsion for all components; separate static and cyclic tests on ankle-foot devices and foot units for all ankle-foot devices as single components including ankle units or ankle attachments and all foot units as single components; a separate static ultimate strength test in maximum knee flexion on knee joints and associated parts for all knee units or knee-shin-assemblies and adjacent components that normally provide the flexion stop on a complete prosthesis; optional separate tests on knee locks for all mechanisms which lock the knee joint in the extended position of the knee unit or knee-shin-assembly. The tests described in this document apply to specific types of ankle-disarticulation prostheses (see NOTE 2), to transtibial (below-knee), knee-disarticulation and transfemoral (above-knee) prostheses and to the distal (lower) part of hip-disarticulation and hemi-pelvectomy prostheses (see NOTE 3). The test geometry described in this standard is only intended to be used up to a level of 150 mm above the knee-joint centre. This document is suitable for the assessment of the conformity of lower limb prosthetic devices or structures with the strength requirements specified in ISO 22523:2006, 4.4 (see NOTE 1). Lower limb prosthetic devices or structures on the market, which have demonstrated their compliance with the strength requirements specified in ISO 22523:2006, 4.4 through submission to the relevant tests of ISO 22523:2006, need not be retested to this document. NOTE 1 The tests can be performed on complete structures, on part structures or on individual components. NOTE 2 The tests only apply to ankle-disarticulation prostheses which include (foot) components of prosthetic ankle-foot devices taken from the normal production line. NOTE 3 The distal part comprises the knee unit, the ankle-foot device and all parts between. Tests on hip units are described in ISO 15032.

It also specifies requirements for testing, commissioning, marking and documentation. Requirements for secondary heat-transfer circuits are excluded except for any safety devices associated with the refrigerating system. This document is applicable to new refrigerating systems, extensions or modifications of already existing systems, and for used systems, being transferred to and operated on another site. This document is applicable to: refrigerating systems, stationary or mobile, of all sizes, except vehicle air conditioning systems covered by a specific product standard; NOTE Example of specific product standard is ISO 13043 and SAE J 639. secondary cooling or heating systems; the location of the refrigerating systems; replaced parts and added components after the adoption of this document, if they are not identical in function and in capacity; the conversion of a system for another refrigerant.
