88/183/EEC - Fluid fertilizers (Dir. 76/116/EEC amendment)

This European Standard specifies procedures for determining the ability of non-metallic materials to promote the growth of microorganisms.
This standard is applicable to those materials destined to be used under various conditions for the transport and storage of water intended for human consumption.
The Standard allows for the testing of a single type of material, or a product in which only one material is in contact with water. It is unsuitable for use with assembled products where more than one material is exposed to water.

This European Standard specifies three methods for determining the ability of non-metallic materials to enhance the growth of micro-organisms.
This European Standard is applicable to those materials destined to be used under various conditions for the transport and storage of water intended for human consumption.
The standard allows for the testing of a single type of material, or a product in which only one material is in contact with water. It is unsuitable for use with assembled products where more than one material is exposed to water.
NOTE    The results given by each method are not directly comparable.

This European Standard specifies the requirements which internal blinds shall fulfil when fitted to a building. It deals also with the significant machinery hazards relating to construction, transport, installation, operation and maintenance of internal blinds (see list of significant hazards in Annex B).
It applies to all internal blinds, whatever their design and the nature of the materials used, such as:
-   venetian blind: free hanging, guided, non-retractable;
-   roller blind: free hanging, side guided, with tensioned fabric;
-   vertical blind: free hanging, with top and bottom track, sloping headrail;
-   pleated and honeycomb blind: free hanging, guided, laterally moving;
-   Roman Shades;
-   Austrian / Festoon blinds;
-   panel blinds;
-   plantation shutters;
-   roll-up blinds.
These products may be operated manually, with or without compensating springs, or by means of electric motors (power operated products). This standard does not apply to draperies, insect screens and blinds in sealed glazed units.
NOTE   Insect screens may be installed either internally or externally. However, because they are always exposed to external conditions in use (windows/doors opened), insects screens are covered by EN 13561 applying to external blinds and awnings.  
Noise aspects are not treated in this standard because this is not considered a safety issue. This standard is not applicable to internal blinds which are manufactured before the date of publication of this standard.
