The purpose of this document is to provide customers and their suppliers with a document specifying the notions of product reliability "construction" and "management".
It offers programme directors and project managers information likely to help them:
-   determine the tasks to be performed and the application procedures, according to the specific nature of the programme and its goals;
-   define and implement the provisions necessary for performing these tasks;
-   within programme execution, situate the various tasks involved in constructing and managing the reliability of a product.
This document applies to all programmes (in particular aeronautical, space and armament programmes).
These reliability construction procedures concern not only all the products and its constituents covered by these programmes, but also the means and manufacturing processes to be implemented for their realization.
The provisions of this document can be negotiated at all levels between the parties directly concerned by a given programme. This implies, on the part of the customer, that each lower level is provided with the information necessary to perform tasks and meet the specified targets.

This document specifies a test method for determining the leak tightness and the ease of operation and stop resistance of a valve made of thermoplastic material following an impact applied to the operating device.

This document provides recommendations, requirements and checklists which can be used to support the specification and field testing of cryptographic modules in their field within an organization’s security system. The cryptographic modules have an overall security rating commensurate with the four security levels defined in ISO/IEC 19790:2025, to provide for: — a wide spectrum of data sensitivity (e.g. low-value administrative data, million-dollar funds transfers, life-protecting data, personal identity information, and sensitive information used by government), and — a diversity of application environments (e.g. a guarded facility, an office, removable media, and a completely unprotected location). This document is limited to the security related to the cryptographic module. It does not include assessing the security of the field or application environment. It does not define techniques for the identification, assessment and acceptance of the organization’s operational risk. This document applies to the field testers who perform the field testing for the cryptographic modules in their field and the authorizing officials of cryptographic modules.

The purpose of this document is to provide customers and their suppliers with a document specifying the notions of “construction” and “management” of product dependability and safety (RAMS).
It offers programme directors and project managers information likely to help them:
—   determine the tasks to be performed and the application procedures, according to the specific nature of the programme and its goals;
—   define and implement the provisions necessary for performing these tasks;
—   within programme execution, situate the various tasks involved in constructing and managing the RAMS of a product.
This document applies to all programmes that involve customer/supplier relation.
RAMS management concerns not only all the products covered by these programmes, but also the components of these products and the production and support resources and processes to be implemented.
The provisions of this document can be negotiated at all levels between the parties directly concerned by a given programme. This implies, on the part of the ordering parties, that each lower level is provided with the information needed to perform the tasks and meet the specified targets. This also implies, on the part of suppliers, an escalation of information pertaining to the RAMS results of the products for which they are responsible.
This document is mainly concerned with the technical aspects, aspects of a legislative (in particular safety at work and regulatory conformity) and confidential nature are not dealt with in this document.

This document establishes the currently recognized approaches and special considerations needed when evaluating the in vitro and in vivo performance of absorbable metals and implants fabricated, in whole or in part, from them. This document describes how the evaluation of these metals can differ from those utilized for permanent non-absorbable implantable implants (or subcomponents), in that absorbable metal implants (or subcomponents) are – by design – intended to be absorbed in their entirety by the host. This document provides guidance regarding the materials considerations, in vitro degradation/fatigue characterization, and biological evaluation of medical implants made of absorbable metals. The provided content is intended to deliver added clarity to the evaluation of these materials and implants to increase awareness of critical factors and reduce potential for generation of erroneous or misleading test results. While this document and the herein described referenced standards contain many suggested alterations or modifications to currently practiced procedures or specifications, the provided content is intended to complement, and not replace, current conventions regarding the assessment of implantable implants. This document covers the evaluation of absorbable metal specific attributes in general and is not intended to cover application or implant specific considerations. Thus, it is important to consult relevant implant and/or application specific standards. This document does not apply to non-absorbable or non-metallic components (e.g. polymeric coatings, pharmaceuticals, non-absorbable metals) used in conjunction with absorbable metal implants.

This document defines the common terms, abbreviations and references used throughout the EN 9300 series of standard parts.

This document specifies a method for determining the scratch properties of plastics under defined conditions. The method defined in this document is used to investigate the behaviour of specified types of specimens under the scratch conditions defined and for classifying the type of scratch of specimens within the limitations inherent in the test conditions. It can also be used to determine comparative data for different types of material by means of a so-called scratch map in which the types of scratch behaviour for each set of test conditions of test load and test speed are determined using the basic method of constant-load testing, and also by means of the so-called critical normal load determined using an alternative method of linearly increasing load testing. The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials. — thermoplastic moulding, extrusion and casting materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to unfilled types; — thermosetting moulding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds; — thermosetting sheets, rigid thermoplastic moulding and extrusion materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to unfilled types. The method specifies the preferred dimensions for the test specimen and the preferred scratch-tip geometry.

c)        Method B: Microwave assisted digestion with hydrochloric, nitric and hydrofluoric acid mixture (0,5 ml HCl; 6 ml HNO3; 1 ml HF) followed by boric acid complexation;
d)       Method BT: Microwave assisted digestion with hydrochloric, nitric and tetrafluoroboric acid mixture (0,5 ml HCl; 6 ml HNO3; 2 ml HBF4);
e)       Method C: Microwave assisted digestion with nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide and hydrofluoric acid mixture (2,5 ml H2O2; 5 ml HNO3; 0,4 ml HF) and optional boric acid complexation;
f)         Method CT: Microwave assisted digestion with nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide and tetrafluoroboric acid mixture (2,5 ml H2O2; 5 ml HNO3; 0,8 ml HBF4);
g)       Method D: Digestion of the ashed SRF sample with fluxing agent lithium metaborate in an oven at 1 050 °C.
This document is applicable for the following major and minor/trace elements:
—     Major elements: aluminium (Al), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), silicon (Si) and titanium (Ti).
—     Minor/trace elements: arsenic (As), barium (Ba), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se), tin (Sn), thallium (Tl), vanadium (V) and zinc (Zn).
Method A is applicable for general use for SRF and ashed SRFs, but the amount of the test portion can be very low in case of high concentration of organic matter. Method AT can be used if an alternative to HF is necessary.
Method B with a higher volume of nitric acid is applicable for SRFs with high organic matter (e.g. suitable for high plastic content) that can be difficult to digest with less nitric acid or as a substitute for method A if appropriate equipment is not available. Method BT can be used if an alternative to HF is necessary.
Method C with combination of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and addition of hydrofluoric acid is applicable for wood based SRFs (e.g. demolition wood) or when there is a need for comparability to solid biofuel standards. Method CT can be used if an alternative to HF is necessary.
Method D is specifically applicable for determination of major elements in ashed SRF samples.
XRF can be used for the analysis of major elements (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, S, Si, Ti) after ashing (815 °C) of the samples and several major and minor/trace elements in SRF can be analysed by XRF after suitable calibration provided that the concentration levels are above instrumental detection limits of the XRF instrumentation and after proper preliminary testing and validation.
Digestion methods with HF and subsequent boric acid complexation or application of method D are applicable for determination of Si and Ti (better digestion efficiency).
Alternative digestion methods can be applied, if their performance is proved to be comparable with those of the methods described in this document.

This document specifies a method for determination of the mechanical durability of pellets. The mechanical durability is a measure of the resistance of compressed fuels towards shocks and/or abrasion as a consequence of handling and transportation.
