This document gives guidance on the labelling and information folder of potentially permanent magnet containing products in the context of information exchange between supply chain actors to improve recyclability of permanent magnets.
This document can be used by any natural or legal person that will place into the EU market products containing permanent magnets. The document is horizontal by nature and can potentially be applied to any type of permanent magnet containing product. Explicitly in scope are the product- and component groups mentioned in the introduction, as soon the total mass of permanent magnets is above the reporting level threshold specified 4.1 of this document.
The document specifies:
1.   the graphical format, application, and location of the labels, so they are easily located, legible, and scannable in the end-of-life state of the products in a way that is suitable for products of different sizes and complexity;
2.   the specifications of the data carrier, both in its physical format as placed on the product, and the accessibility, security, and verifiability of information;
3.   the access rights of relevant stakeholders to information;
4.   the information to be supplied regarding the location and composition of the permanent magnets;
5.   the information to be supplied regarding adjacent materials like coatings and fixation features, including adhesives;
6.   how to create step-by-step instructions for accessing and safely removing the permanent magnets, specifying the tools and technologies required, providing the recyclers a practically useful, unequivocal guide on how the disassembly of the magnets can be done most efficiently, and
7.   the format of the data to be supplied as per the previous points 4. – 6.
Labelling is employed for products which encompass at least one component mentioned above or a singular magnet, including segmented magnets, which holds a total mass of magnetic material as described in Table 1. Other magnet-holding components within a product that fall below that threshold are exempt from declaration and labelling. The purpose of these thresholds is to establish a sensible balance between the efforts required by both the responsible entities for labelling, as well as the efforts by the dismantlers and recyclers, and the output of recycled material. By excluding potential scrap sources where the yield would not warrant the effort, the work can be simplified for both sides.

It is encouraged to use the present document in the development of new specifications. It is foreseen that regular maintenance of the present document is required. As such, release management requirements will be defined. Before accepting any new common parameter, the present document will provide a set of requirements the parameter has to comply to in order to become a common parameter.

The present document provides an overview of the Recommendation ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 [i.3] based certificate profiles and the statements for EU Qualified Certificates specified in other parts of ETSI EN 319 412 ([i.4] to [i.7]). It specifies common data structures that are referenced from other parts of ETSI EN 319 412 ([i.4] to [i.7]). The profiles specified in this multi-part deliverable aim to support both Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.9] and the use of certificates in a wider international context. Within the European context, it aims to support both EU Qualified Certificates and other forms of certificate.

This document specifies a procedure for determining whether a perceptible sensory difference or similarity exists between samples of two products. The method is a forced-choice procedure. The method is applicable whether a difference exists in a single sensory attribute or in several attributes. The method is statistically less efficient than the triangle test (described in ISO 4120) but is easier to perform by the assessors. The method is applicable even when the nature of the difference is unknown (i.e. it determines neither the size nor the direction of difference between samples, nor is there any indication of the attribute(s) responsible for the difference). The method is applicable only if the products are fairly homogeneous. The method is effective for: determining that either: a perceptible difference results (duo-trio testing for difference); or a meaningful perceptible difference does not result (duo-trio testing for similarity) when, for example, a change is made in ingredients, processing, packaging, handling or storage; selecting, training and monitoring assessors. Two forms of the method are described: the constant-reference technique, used when one product is familiar to the assessors (e.g. a sample from regular production); the balanced-reference technique, used when one product is not more familiar than the other.

This document is applicable to safety-related electronic systems (including subsystems and equipment) for railway signalling applications. This document applies to generic systems (i.e. generic products or systems defining a class of applications), as well as to systems for specific applications. The scope of this document and its relationship with other CENELEC standards are shown in Figure 1. This document is applicable only to the functional safety of systems. It does not deal with other aspects of safety such as occupational health and safety of personnel or potential threats created by the technology regardless of their intended functions (e.g. presence of sharp edges, presence of electric voltage, presence of combustible material). Cybersecurity aspects of functional safety are addressed only to the extent consistent with the application of the relevant standards, where needed. This document applies to all the phases of the life cycle of a safety-related electronic system, focusing in particular on phases from 4 (specification of system requirements) to 10 (system acceptance) as defined in EN 50126 1:2017. Requirements for systems which are not related to safety are outside the scope of this document. This document is not necessarily applicable to systems, subsystems or equipment which had already been accepted prior to the date of withdrawal (dow) of the standards conflicting with this document. However, so far as reasonably practicable, it is applicable to modifications and extensions to such systems, subsystems and equipment. NOTE In the case of partial modifications, it can happen that the system can no longer be declared compliant with a single version of the standard, meaning that the modified part will be compliant with the current version and the unmodified parts will be compliant with the previous version. This document is primarily applicable to systems, subsystems or equipment which have been specifically designed and manufactured for railway signalling applications. It is also applicable, to the extent of 6.2, to general-purpose or industrial equipment (e.g. power supplies, display screens, or other commercial off the shelf items) which is procured for use as part of a safety-related electronic system. This document is aimed at railway duty holders, railway suppliers, and assessors as well as at safety authorities, although it does not define an approval process to be applied by the safety authorities.
