This document specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture and testing of non‑reclosable pressure-relief devices for cryogenic service, i.e. for operation with cryogenic fluids in addition to operation at temperatures from ambient to cryogenic. This document is restricted to bursting‑disc and buckling‑pin devices not exceeding a nominal diameter size (DN) of 200 that are designed to relieve single‑phase vapours or gases. A bursting‑disc or buckling‑pin assembly can be specified, constructed and tested such that it is suitable for use with more than one gas or with mixtures of gases. NOTE This document does not provide methods for determining the capacity of bursting‑disc or buckling‑pin devices for a particular cryogenic vessel. Such methods are provided in ISO 21013-3.

This document defines terms for: — high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV); — percussive ventilation, including high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV); — jet ventilation, including high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV); — modes that combine high-frequency and physiological-rate ventilation. It is applicable: — in lung ventilator and breathing-therapy device standards, — in health informatics standards, — for labelling on medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems, — in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical system instructions for use and accompanying documents, — for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems interoperability, and — in electronic health records. This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to a ventilatorbreathing system or to a ventilator, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety or essential performance of the ventilator or ventilator breathing system. NOTE This document can also be used for other applications relating to lung ventilation, including non-electrical devices and equipment, research, description of critical events, forensic analysis and adverse event (vigilance) reporting systems.

This document describes the reference software and conformance suite for the file format documents in multiple standards. Since these standards share a lot of technology, their reference software and conformance program are being handled together. These standards are: ISO/IEC 14496-12, ISO/IEC 14496-14, ISO/IEC 14496-15, ISO/IEC 14496-30 and ISO/IEC 23008-12. The purpose of the conformance suite is to cover the set of valid features that can be exercised in the file format. Media conformance is not covered, though of course to exercise the file format features, media will be stored.

This document establishes requirements on implementations that quantify how a face image’s properties conform with those of canonical face images, for example those specified in ISO/IEC 39794-5:2019, Clause D.1, for three use-cases: 1) collection of reference samples for ID documents; 2) sample system enrolment; and 3) probes for instantaneous response. This document also establishes terms and definitions for quantifying face image quality and specifies methods for quantifying the quality of face images. This document does not establish requirements on: — assessing the quality of pairs or sequences of images; NOTE This document establishes requirements for software that inspects exactly one image. This document does not establish requirements for software that compares two or more images (such as biometric recognition). However, the computations of this document can be applied separately to each image in a pair or sequence. — assessing the quality of 3D captures; — encodings of face image quality data; — performance evaluation of face image quality assessment algorithms. The use cases within scope of this document primarily address the assessment of images from data capture subjects who consent to processing of their biometric data, or for whom biometric capture is operationally authorized.

This document describes the basic requirements for the design and application of explosion suppression systems. This document also specifies test methods for evaluating the effectiveness and the scaling up of explosion suppression systems against defined explosions. This document covers:
-   general requirements for explosion suppression system parts;
-   evaluating the effectiveness of an explosion suppression system;
-   evaluating the scale up of an explosion suppression system to larger than tested volumes;
-   development and evaluation of design tools for explosion suppression systems;
-   installation, operation and maintenance instructions for an explosion suppression system.
This document is applicable only to explosion suppression systems intended for the protection of closed, or essentially closed, enclosures in which an explosion could result as a consequence of ignition of an explosible mixture, e.g. dust-air, gas(vapour)-air, dust-gas(vapour)-air and mist-air.
This document is not applicable for explosions of materials listed below, or for mixtures containing some of those materials:
-   unstable materials that are liable to dissociate;
-   explosive materials;
-   pyrotechnic materials;
-   pyrophoric materials.

This part of IEC 60079 specifies the construction and testing of intrinsically safe apparatus intended for use in an explosive atmosphere, and for associated apparatus which is intended for connection to intrinsically safe circuits which enter such atmospheres.
This Type of Protection is applicable to electrical equipment in which the electrical circuits themselves are incapable of causing ignition of a surrounding explosive atmosphere. This includes electrical equipment which contains circuits that are intrinsically safe only under certain conditions, for example under battery supply with mains supply removed.
This standard is also applicable to electrical equipment or parts of electrical equipment located outside the explosive atmosphere or protected by another Type of Protection listed in IEC 60079-0, where the intrinsic safety of the electrical circuits in the explosive atmosphere may depend upon the design and construction of such electrical equipment or parts of such electrical equipment. The electrical circuits exposed to the explosive atmosphere are assessed for use in such an atmosphere by applying this standard.
This standard applies to sensors connected to intrinsically safe circuits but does not apply to the protection of catalytic elements for Group IIC or Group IIB + H2.
The requirements for intrinsically safe systems are provided in IEC 60079-25.
This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0, except as indicated in Table 1. Where a requirement of this standard conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this standard takes precedence.
Unless otherwise stated, the requirements in this standard are applicable to both intrinsically safe apparatus and associated apparatus, and the generic term "apparatus" is used throughout the standard.
As this standard applies only to electrical equipment, the term "equipment" used in the standard always means “electrical equipment”.
This standard applies to apparatus for use under the atmospheric conditions of IEC 60079-0 with additional requirements for for use at lower atmospheric pressures in the range from 60 kPa (0,6 bar), up to 110 kPa (1,1 bar).

This part of IEC 62885 is applicable for measurements of the performance of mains-operated and cordless wet hard floor cleaning appliances for household or similar use. In the case of appliances with combined functionality, this document only addresses the wet cleaning functionality. The purpose of this document is to specify essential performance characteristics of wet hard floor cleaning appliances that are of interest to users and to describe methods for measuring these characteristics. NOTE 1 Owing to the influence of environmental conditions, variations in time, origin of test materials and proficiency of the operator, most of the described test methods give more reliable results when applied to comparative testing of a number of appliances at the same time, in the same laboratory and by the same operator. NOTE 2 This document is not intended for cleaning appliances according to IEC 60335-2-79 and robotic wet hard floor cleaning appliances. For safety requirements, reference is made to IEC 60335-1, IEC 60335-2-2, IEC 60335-2-10, and IEC 60335-2-54. A recommendation on information for the consumer at the point of sale is given in Annex B.
