This document provides technical specification and specifies verification methods to support compliance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 of 12 March 2019 amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1058 of 27 April 2020 on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and on third-country operators of unmanned aircraft systems.
This includes compliance with product requirements for UAS intended to be operated under a standard scenario in the ‘specific’ category (class C5 and class C6 UAS).
This document is only applicable for unmanned aircraft (UA) with energy sources based on electro-chemical technologies.
Additional hazards that occur from the characteristics of the payload are excluded and are under the responsibility of the manufacturer and operator.
The present document covers requirements expressed in Annex, Part 16 requirements (1), (3), (4) and (6) and Part 17 requirements (1), (3), (6) and (7) of the Regulation 2020/1058.

This document provides technical specification and verification methods to support compliance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 of 12 March 2019 on unmanned aircraft systems and on third-country operators of unmanned aircraft systems.
This part provides requirements, test methods and pass criteria for the means to terminate flight (flight termination) for unmanned aircraft systems, in particular addressing:
— safety related aspects of the architecture;
— descent performance;
— means to reduce the effects of impact on ground; and
— manufacturer’s instructions.
Even if security, including IT security, may be useful from an operational point of view, it falls outside the scope of this document.
An activation of the means to terminate the flight by a visual observer is also outside the scope of this document.
This document provides voluntary means of demonstrating compliance with the requirements laid out in Regulation (EU) 2019/945.
Additional hazards that occur from the characteristics of the payload are excluded and are, conversely, under the responsibility of the UAS manufacturer and UAS operator.

When a particular method is not specified in the detail product specification, method A is the default test method.
Method B is suitable for wires insulated with materials showing a low adhesion to the conductor due to the poor repeatability of the test method A with this type of wires.
This document is intended to be used together with EN 3475-100.

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.

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 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.
