This document provides guidelines for the characterization of waterlogged archaeological wood to support decision-making processes for its preservation.
This document can be applied for the management of wood discovered in waterlogged environments, including terrestrial and aquatic (marine and freshwater) sites, as a basis for designing conservation strategies (e.g. reburial, in situ preservation, post-excavation storage). In the case of composite artefacts made of wood and other materials, this document is applicable only for the wooden components. Methods for conservation, site protection and monitoring for reburial as well as in situ preservation are beyond the scope of this document.

This document covers hinged/pivoted and sliding doorsets with engaging fasteners (e.g. latches, deadbolts) for pedestrian use. It defines the test methods to determine the forces to open/close doors and to engage/release and lock/unlock the building hardware using a key or handle. It is only applicable to the manual operation of doorsets.
These doorsets can include:
—   emergency or panic exit devices;
—   door closing devices.
NOTE   The use of some windows involves engaging fasteners (e.g. latches, deadbolts) and can be tested in accordance with this document. Throughout the text where “door leaf”/”door leaves” is written this can also be read as “casements”/”sashes”.

IEC 62878-2-603:2025 specifies the electrical test method to detect electrical connectivity defects of the stacked electronic module caused by the stacking assembly process to stack some stackable electronic modules. This method is realized to make use of bidirectional serial communication bus interface applied to the stackable electronic modules which are assured as "known good module" (KGM).

IEC 62037-1:2025 deals with the general requirements and measuring methods for intermodulation (IM) level measurement of passive RF and microwave components, which can be caused by the presence of two or more transmitting signals. The test procedures given in this document give the general requirements and measurement methods required to characterize the level of unwanted IM signals using two transmitting signals. The IEC 62037 series addresses the measurement of PIM but does not cover the long-term reliability of a product with reference to its performance. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2021. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) added clarification that PIM generation is typically frequency dependent and noted that testing with swept or multiple fixed frequencies often provides more accurate results;
b) identified multi-port PIM analyzers as a possible test set-up topography;
c) added specification that test power level does not exceed the power handling capability of the DUT;
d) updated test specification to include missing parameters needed to properly define a PIM test;
e) added clarification that PIM test reports include the maximum PIM value measured over the test duration;
f) corrected error in Figure 3 that was erroneously changed in IEC 62037-1:2021.

These test methods are applied for each small stationary fuel cell power system. This document covers small stationary fuel cell power systems which can be complemented with a supplementary heat generator or a thermal storage system, or both, such as: - output: rated electric power output of less than 10 kW for each system; - output mode: grid-connected or independent operation or stand-alone operation with alternating current (AC) output not exceeding 240 V or direct current (DC) output; - operating pressure: maximum allowable working pressure of less than 0,1 MPa (G) for the fuel and oxidant passages; - fuel: gaseous fuel (natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, propane, butane, hydrogen) or liquid fuel (kerosene, methanol); oxidant: air. This document does not apply to small stationary fuel cell power systems with electricity storage other than (small scale) back-up power for safety, monitoring and control.
