This document describes a method for storing data in a PDF file that correspond to the processing steps of printed products. This method has three parts: metadata identifying processing steps; limitations on the interaction between PDF graphics objects that are part of a processing step and other PDF graphics objects; limitations on PDF graphics objects in processing steps. This method is intended to be generic, i.e. not specific to packaging and labels. In addition, this document defines the following packaging- and label-specific groups of processing steps data: data corresponding to finishing steps, such as cutting, folding or glueing; braille; information panels; indications of physical dimensions; indications of intended positions of graphical elements; printed white, for example on transparent or metallic surfaces; printed varnish; primer; printing plate making.

This document is published as a dual logo standard and is applicable for the explosion protection requirements for the construction, testing and marking for Group I Ex Equipment that can be an individual item, or be an assembly of multiple items of Ex Equipment and Ex Components forming mining machinery. The standard atmospheric conditions (relating to the explosion characteristics of the atmosphere) under which it can be assumed that Ex Equipment can be operated are: - temperature −20 °C to +60 °C; - pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar); and - air with normal oxygen content, typically a volume fraction of 21 %. This part of ISO/IEC 80079 applies for Ex Equipment and Ex Components with Explosion Protection Levels (EPLs) Ma and Mb. This document supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079‑0. Where a requirement of this document conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this document takes precedence. This document can be used for guidance on underground applications where firedamp or coal dust can be present, but which are not Group I mines, for example tunnels. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Refer to the Foreword of the document for a complete listing of the technical changes between edition 2.0 and the previous edition of the document.

This document outlines: descriptions of use cases for identified application domains that benefit from additional semantic metadata support in office documents; descriptions of semantic metadata requirements from experts of identified application domains; specifications of possible technical strategies for associating domain-specific semantic metadata with office documents entities. This document applies to users of office documents, for example, publishers, librarians, archivists, data scientists and other document users, as well as office software developers and service system integrators. This document focuses on the methods of supporting various kinds of metadata, rather than on metadata itself.

This document specifies a standardized data set for exercise recommendations to facilitate data exchange between healthcare providers and patients. This document specifically focuses on degenerative arthritis and backpain because these conditions commonly require long-term structured rehabilitation exercise exchange. This document defines the structure of exercise recommendation data for electronic exchange between healthcare providers and patients with degenerative arthritis and back pain. This document focuses on data exchange of exercise recommendations for backache and degenerative arthritis; other musculoskeletal disorders are outside the scope of this document. This document is not intended to provide a data set for symptoms of other musculoskeletal disorders, or for the patient’s pain intensity. This document does not cover medication orders, observation data measured by personal health devices, or other information that can be relevant in the context of recommendations for musculoskeletal disorders.

This document specifies the requirements and test methods for external tooth bleaching products. These products are intended for use in the oral cavity, either by professional application (in-office tooth bleaching products) or consumer application (professional or non-professional home use of tooth bleaching products) or both. It also specifies requirements for their packaging, labelling and manufacturer’s instructions for use. This document is not applicable to tooth bleaching products: specified in ISO 11609; intended to change colour perception of natural teeth by mechanical methods (e.g. stain removal) or using restorative approaches, such as veneers or crowns; auxiliary or supplementary materials (e.g. tray materials) and instruments or devices (e.g. lights) that are used in conjunction with the bleaching products. This document does not specify biological safety aspects of tooth bleaching products. NOTE The maximum concentration of a bleaching agent for professional or non-professional use is subject to each country’s regulatory body.

This document specifies the basic guidance and methods for activity measurements of solid materials to be cleared for recycling, re-use or disposal as non-radioactive waste arising from the operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities, in order to show compliance with required limits for generic clearance or specific clearance. It does not apply to ordinary radioactive waste characterization.

This document establishes a metric series of single-rod pneumatic short‑stroke cylinders with bores from 20 mm to 100 mm (inclusive) for use at a maximum working pressure of 1 000 kPa [10 bar1)] with and without magnetic function. They are not equipped with adjustable cushioning, so their application is restricted to those systems where adjustable cushioning is not required. 1) 1 bar = 100 kPa = 105 Pa; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2.

This document specifies methods for measuring rolling resistance, under controlled laboratory conditions, for new pneumatic tyres designed primarily for use on passenger cars, trucks and buses.

This document does not apply to thermal barriers made only of metal profiles connected with metal pins or screws.
This current edition of EN 14024 will supersede EN 14024:2004. Differences in test procedures between the two versions will not lead to significant differences in test results. Therefore, existing test results according to EN 14024:2004 are considered as equivalent to new test results according to the current edition of EN 14024.

This document specifies Type S1 software measurement standards, reference data, and Type S2 software measurement standards, reference software, for verifying the software of measuring instruments. It also specifies the surface data file (SDF) format of Type S1 software measurement standards for the calibration of instruments for the measurement of surface texture by the profile and areal method as defined in the profile and areal surface texture chain of standards, the chain links F and G.
The SDF format applies to profile and areal topography measurement data extracted with an orthogonal grid (see ISO 14406:2010, 5.2) and equidistant sampling intervals, regardless of the measurement principle.
NOTE            Throughout this document, the terms “reference data” and “reference software” are used as substitutes for software measurement standards of Type S1 and Type S2, respectively. In practice, “reference data” is sometimes referred to as “software gauge” or “softgauge”.

This document specifies a laboratory method for the determination of the carotenoid content in microalgae. This method is based on the principles of chlorophyll a determination described in EN 18034.
This method has been validated for the microalgae species Nannochloropsis and Phaodactylum. This document is only validated for betacarotene and fucoxanthin, but could be used for other carotenoids as well. Given small adaptations to be able to measure smaller concentrations, this method could also be used for macro algae.
NOTE This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study for the following carotenoids for levels of approximately 0,1 to 10 mg/g by weight:
− Beta-carotene;
− fucoxanthin.
For the validation, the following matrices were used:
− Nannochloropsis sp.;
− Phaedactylum.
For detailed information on the validation, see 9.2 and Annex B. Additionally, lutein was tested and Saccharina latissima was used as an additional matrix. However, these results could not be validated. The results of these studies have been included in informative Annex C.
