IEC 63185:2025 relates to a measurement method for complex permittivity of dielectric substrates at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. This method has been developed to evaluate the dielectric properties of low-loss materials used in microwave and millimeter-wave circuits and devices. It uses higher-order modes of a balanced-type circular disk resonator and provides broadband measurements of dielectric substrates by using one resonator, where the effect of excitation holes and that of fringing fields are taken into account accurately on the basis of the mode-matching analysis. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) the upper limit of the applicable frequency range has been extended from 110 GHz to 170 GHz; b) circular disk resonators used for the measurements now include one with waveguide interfaces; c) in calculating the complex permittivity from the measured resonant properties, the fringing fields are now accurately taken into account based on the mode-matching analysis.

IEC 61340-4-11:2025 specifies the electrostatic testing, design and safe use requirements for composite intermediate bulk containers (IBC) intended for use in hazardous areas. Composite IBC are often filled with flammable liquids which can create an explosive atmosphere in the inner receptacle. The design requirements for composite IBC intended for such use are defined in 7.3.4.5 of IEC TS 60079-32-1:2013. The test procedures described in this document can be used by manufacturers, suppliers and product users for product qualification and compliance verification of new and reconditioned composite IBC. Additionally, the requirements of this document can be used for testing the electrostatic properties of composite IBC, independent of any inspection periods. Precautions regarding the use of composite IBC (e.g., stirring, cleaning etc.) are defined in 7.3.4.5 of IEC TS 60079-32-1:2013. Compliance with the requirements of this document does not mitigate the need for full risk assessment.

IEC 62037-3:2025 defines the impact test on coaxial connectors to evaluate their robustness against weak connections and particles inside the connector, as independently as possible from the effects of cable passive intermodulation (PIM). For other connectors (e.g. panel mounted connectors), the cable can be replaced by an adequate transmission line (e.g. airline, stripline). In order to evaluate the effects of mechanical stresses on the connectors, a series of impacts is applied to the connectors while measuring the PIM. 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) impact test requirements for multi-channel connectors added; b) method for calculating impact energy added for connector shapes other than round; c) revised test considerations for achieving maximum PIM in reverse (reflected) PIM measurements; d) added clarification that PIM tests reports shall include the maximum PIM value measured.

IEC 62037-8:2025 defines a radiated passive intermodulation (PIM) test to determine PIM levels generated by a device or object when it is exposed to RF radiation. This test can be conducted on any material or object and is not limited to devices designed to propagate RF signals. This test can be conducted as either a near field or far field test as defined by the test specification in an outdoor test site or in an anechoic test chamber. This second edition cancels and replaces the first 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 safety warning to verify that transmitters are switched off before connecting or disconnecting any component; b) corrected formula for calculating directivity; c) corrected antenna orientation labels in Figure 6; d) added clarification that PIM tests reports shall include maximum PIM and VSWR values.

This document is framed to complement and support the scope of related IEC 61400 series by defining environmental input conditions. It is not intended to supersede the design and suitability requirements presented in those documents. Specific analytical and modelling procedures as described in IEC 61400-1, IEC 61400-2, IEC 61400-3-1 and IEC TS 61400-3-2 are excluded from the scope of this document.

This document provides the basis of the allowable wire current and its derated value in published technical standards. This document also provides the results of comparing the derated wire current values depending on the number of bundled wires, wire type and temperature environments, which can help the system designer to handle the difference when determining the limit of wire ampacity.

This document specifies requirements for five types of compact, wire-braid-reinforced hoses and hose assemblies of nominal size from 5 to 76. They are suitable for use with: — oil-based hydraulic fluids HH, HL, HM, HR and HV as defined in ISO 6743-4 at temperatures ranging from −40 °C to +100 °C; — water-based fluids HFC, HFAE, HFAS and HFB as defined in ISO 6743-4 at temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +70 °C; — water at temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +70 °C. This document does not include requirements for end fittings. It is limited to requirements for hoses and hose assemblies. The hose assembly maximum working pressure is governed by the lowest maximum working pressure of the components. NOTE It is the responsibility of the user, in consultation with the hose manufacturer, to establish the compatibility of the hose with the fluid to be used.

This document establishes a measurable quantitative information extraction (MQIE) scheme, which is based on the semantic annotation scheme specified in ISO 24617-11. It is applicable to the domains of technology that carry more applicational relevance than some theoretical issues found in the ordinary use of language. NOTE ISO 24617-12 deals with more general and theoretical issues of quantification and quantitative information. This document also treats temporal durations that are discussed in ISO 24617-1, and spatial measures such as distances that are treated in ISO 24617-7, while making them interoperable with other measure types. It also accommodates the treatment of measures or amounts that are introduced in ISO 24617-6:2016, 8.3.

It identifies and lists attributes relevant to the measurements, reporting and assessment of self-reported health outcomes attributable to noise and soundscape studies, as well as for the planning, design and management of soundscape and noise interventions.

This document defines methods for measuring and assessing the impact of museums on individuals and on society. The methods described can be used for identifying areas of influence of museums and their services, and for reporting such influence to stakeholders and the general public. This document does not intend to exclude the use of further instruments for assessing the impact of museums. This document does not deal with quality indicators for museums (see ISO 21246). Not all methods described can apply to all museums at any time. Limitations on the applicability of individual methods are specified in the descriptions of the methods in this document.

This document defines test methods for performance testing of individual filter elements and of the complete filtration system.1)
This procedure is intended for filter elements and filter systems which operate at flow rated up to 8 000 m3/h per filter element.
1)  The filters will be loaded with ultra-fine salt particles of a size mostly sub micron during variable humidity to simulate real offshore and coastal conditions hence filters with an initial conditioned efficiency lower than 50 % for the ePM1 particles (filter class T7) are likely to underperform and would not be suited as a single stage filter.

This document specifies a method for determining the resistance to mechanical penetration of nonwoven fabrics by a ball of a given diameter.
The method is primarily designed to be used on nonwovens with some degree of elasticity, for which a regular burst test does not apply.
