This document refers to concepts, definitions, rules, recommendations, and best practices taken from national and international documents (lockout/tagout - "administrative lockout" - Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) - Safe isolation) that cover activities to ensure the safety of workers with respect to energies & fluids.
This document deals with the prevention of energy & fluid (e.g. powders, gases, liquids, etc.) related risks; it is noted that some are covered by specific regulations or standards, such as the electrical risk. Environmental issues related to energies & fluids are not in the scope of this document. Danger associated with energies & fluids can be direct (e.g. contact, absorption, etc.) or indirect by reaction (e.g. mixing, heating, etc.). The scope includes all fluids because they can be intrinsically dangerous or become dangerous.
The recommendations given in this document have been drawn up with a view to ensure the safety and health of workers around hazardous energies & fluids, and situations when they are conducting actions related to maintenance, settings or changing formats, regardless of the type of activity.
The recommendations relate to activities carried out on items. They are applied before, during and after the operation to:
-   The energies & fluids supplied, contained, transported, or released by items, products,
-   Risks related to the presence of hazardous energies & fluids for the worker and the surrounding personal.
This document is a methodological guideline within the maintenance standards.
NOTE   Particular cases such as risks of lack of presence of vital elements for the worker (e.g. breathable air) are in the scope but will not be detailed.

This document specifies a real-time PCR procedure for the quantitation of the amount of roe deer DNA relative to total mammalian DNA in meat and meat products.
Results of this roe deer assay are expressed in terms of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) haploid genome copy numbers relative to total mammalian haploid genome copy numbers. The content of roe deer can also be expressed as mass fraction in % using gravimetrically prepared calibration material from meat mixtures or model samples.
The method has been previously validated in a collaborative study and applied to DNA extracted from samples that consist of raw roe deer meat in a raw pig meat background as well as raw and boiled sausages.
The limit of detection of the roe deer PCR has been determined experimentally to be at least 5 target gene copies or at least 0,1 % roe deer.

This document applies to the determination of beta emitters activity concentration using liquid scintillation counting. The method requires the preparation of a scintillation source, which is obtained by mixing the test sample and a scintillation cocktail. The test sample can be liquid (aqueous or organic), or solid (particles or filter or planchet). NOTE Planchet are samples, described in REF Section_sec_8.5 \r \h 8.5, out of solid material e.g. small metal, plastic or glass pans or support material made of these materials This document describes the conditions for measuring the activity concentration of beta emitter radionuclides by liquid scintillation counting[ REF Reference_ref_8 \r \h 2 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B0200000008000000100000005200650066006500720065006E00630065005F007200650066005F0038000000 ]. The choice of the test method using liquid scintillation counting involves the consideration of the potential presence of other beta-, alpha- and gamma emitter radionuclides in the test sample. In this case, a specific sample treatment by separation or extraction is implemented to isolate the radionuclide of interest in order to avoid any interference with other beta-, alpha- and gamma-emitting radionuclides during the counting phase. This document is applicable to all types of liquid samples having an activity concentration ranging from about 1 Bq·l−1 to 106 Bq·l−1. For a liquid test sample, it is possible to dilute liquid test samples in order to obtain a solution having an activity compatible with the measuring instrument. For solid samples, the activity of the prepared scintillation source shall be compatible with the measuring instrument. The measurement range is related to the test method used: nature of test portion, preparation of the scintillator - test portion mixture, measuring assembly as well as to the presence of the co-existing activities due to interfering radionuclides. Test portion preparations (such as distillation for 3H measurement, or benzene synthesis for 14C measurement, etc.) are outside the scope of this document and are described in specific test methods using liquid scintillation[3][[4][5][6][7][8][9][10].

This document specifies the Spatial Reference Model (SRM) defining relevant aspects of spatial positioning and related information processing. The SRM allows precise and unambiguous specification of geometric properties such as position, direction, orientation, and distance. The SRM addresses the needs of a broad community of users, who have a range of accuracy and performance requirements in computationally intensive applications. Aspects of this document apply to, but are not limited to: a) mapping, charting, geodesy, and imagery; b) topography; c) location-based services; d) oceanography; e) meteorology and climatology; f) interplanetary and planetary sciences; g) embedded systems; and h) modelling and simulation. The SRM specifies an application program interface (API) that supports the representations, conversion, and transformation of position and orientation information in a variety of forms. To ensure that spatial operations are performed consistently, the application program interface specifies conversion operations between alternative representations of geometric properties. This document is not intended to replace the standards and specifications developed by ISO/TC 211, ISO/TC 184, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). It is applicable to applications whose spatial information requirements overlap two or more of the application areas that are the scope of the work of ISO/TC 211, ISO/TC 184, the IAU, and the IAG.

This document specifies the general principles for the application of the time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) technique for both detection and sizing of discontinuities in low-alloyed carbon steel components. This document also applies to other types of materials, provided the application of the TOFD technique is performed with necessary consideration of geometry, acoustical properties of the materials, and the test sensitivity. Although this document is applicable, in general terms, for discontinuities in materials and applications covered by ISO 16810, it contains references to the application on welds. This approach has been chosen for reasons of clarity as to the probe positions and directions of scanning. Unless otherwise specified in the referencing documents, the minimum requirements specified in this document apply. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, this document is applicable to the following categories of test objects as specified in ISO 16811: — category 1, without restrictions; — categories 2 and 3, specified restrictions apply (see REF Section_sec_10 \r \h Clause 10 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000F000000530065006300740069006F006E005F007300650063005F00310030000000 ); — categories 4 and 5 require special procedures, which are also addressed (see REF Section_sec_10 \r \h Clause 10 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000F000000530065006300740069006F006E005F007300650063005F00310030000000 ).
