This EU standard is applicable for transporting gas via onshore high pressure steel pipeline infrastructures where:
-   onshore: from the point where the pipeline first crosses what is normally accepted as battery limit between onshore and offshore and not located within commercial or industrial premises as an integral part of the industrial process on these premises except for any pipelines and facilities supplying such premises. This European Standard also applies to a pipeline system with a starting point onshore, also when parts of the pipeline system on the mainland subsequently cross fjords, lakes etc.
-   high pressure: gas with a maximum operating pressure over 16 bar and a design temperature between −40 °C and 120 °C
-   steel pipeline infrastructure: a steel pipeline infrastructure consists of pipeline components such as pipes, valves, couplings and other equipment. Pipeline components in scope are restricted to components made of unalloyed or low alloyed carbon steel and joined by welds, flanges or mechanical couplings.
-   gas: non-toxic and non-corrosive natural gas, biomethane gas, hydrogen gas and mixtures of these gasses where technical evaluation has ensured that operating conditions or constituents or properties of the gas do not affect the safe operation of the pipeline.
Gas infrastructures covered by this European Standard begin after the gas producer's metering station. The functional demarcation of the pipeline system within a plant area will be determined from case to case. Generally speaking, this will be directly after the first isolating valve of the metering installation.
This European Standard also describes the mechanical requirements for pipework in stations with a maximum operating pressure greater than 16 bar.
Welding requirements are described in EN 12732. Functional requirements for stations are given in EN 1776, EN 1918-5, EN 12186, and EN 12583. Requirements for safety management and pipeline integrity management are given in EN 17649.
This European Standard specifies common basic principles for gas infrastructures. Users of this European Standard should be aware that there may exist more detailed national standards and codes of practice in the CEN member countries.
This European Standard is intended to be applied in association with these national standards and/or codes of practice setting out the above mentioned principles.
This European Standard does not apply to existing pipelines, in use prior to the publication of this European Standard, nor to modifications to existing pipelines, except for the adaptation of the pipelines for the use of hydrogen and admixtures with hydrogen.
In the event of conflicts in terms of more restrictive requirements in the national legislation/regulation with the requirements of this European Standard, the national legislation/regulation takes precedence as illustrated in CEN/TR 13737 (all parts).
Reference is made in this European Standard to relevant European and other recognised standards for products used to construct and operate gas infrastructures.

This document specifies methods for the testing and rating of dampers and valves used in air distribution systems with pressure differences up to 2 000 Pa.
The tests incorporated in this document will address:
-   leakage past a closed damper or valve (for classification see Annex C);
-   casing leakage (for classification see Annex C);
-   flow rate/pressure requirement characteristics;
-   torque: (see Annex A);
-   thermal transmittance: (see Annex B).
The acoustic testing of dampers and valves is not included in this document. The tests specified above apply to the following:
-   measurement of leakage past a closed damper or valve;
-   measurement of casing leakage;
-   determination of flow rate and pressure requirements;
-   measurement of torque characteristics (see Annex A);
-   measurement of thermal transfer characteristics to determine insulation properties (see Annex B).
NOTE   Certain aspects of the dynamic performance of dampers and/or valves are dependent upon the air distribution system to which they are connected and are, therefore, difficult to measure in isolation. Such considerations have led to the omission of these aspects of the dynamic performance measurements from this document. Also, in common with other air distribution components, the results from tests carried out in accordance with this document may not be directly applicable if the damper or valve is situated in an area of non-uniform flow.

ISO 16032:2004 specifies methods for measuring the sound-pressure level produced by service equipment attached to or installed in buildings. It specifically covers measurements on sanitary installations, mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling service equipment, lifts, rubbish chutes, boilers, blowers, pumps and other auxiliary service equipment, and motor-driven car park doors, but can also be applied to other equipment attached to or installed in buildings.
The methods are suitable for rooms with volumes of approximately 300 cubic metres or less in e.g. dwellings, hotels, schools, offices and hospitals. The standard is not in general intended for measurements in large auditoria such as concert halls. However, the operating conditions and operating cycles in Annex B can be used in such cases.
The service equipment sound-pressure level is determined as the maximum A-weighted and optionally C-weighted sound-pressure level occurring during a specified operation cycle of the service equipment under test, or as the equivalent continuous sound-pressure level determined with a specified integration time. A-weighted and C-weighted values are calculated from octave-band measurements.

This document describes a laboratory test method to determine the susceptibility of thermal insulation
products used for construction against mould growth under specified climatic conditions.
The method is applicable to both factory-made products and in situ formed products. Factory-made
products include panels, mats and rolls.
NOTE In situ formed products are usually those that are delivered loose and installed by blowing-in, pouring,
or spraying-on, eventually using water and/or binder, whether or not they are also treated using additives.
The test is carried out with one of the conditions described in Table 1.
This test method determines the susceptibility of a thermal insulation material to mould growth, but it
does not determine the suitability for use in a given design (wall, roof, etc.).
This method does not predict the resistance of an insulation product to water damage.

This document specifies procedures to measure in laboratory the impact sound level reduction of isolated heavy landings connected to a heavy wall, isolated heavy flights of stairs connected to a heavy landing, lower or upper floor, and lightweight stairs connected to a heavy wall, lower or upper floor.
This document also considers the characterization of isolating elements for heavy landings or heavy flights of stairs in terms of an insertion loss expressed as an impact sound level difference. The corresponding procedure is given in a normative annex (Annex A), separated from the other procedures for the sake of clarity.
The tests are performed in defined test configurations and the test results are firstly restricted to the test configurations as described in the test report. The data can be used for comparing the performance of products and as input for EN ISO 12354-2:2017, Annex F, to calculate the sound pressure levels produced by the same stairs and isolating elements when installed in buildings.
The test procedures defined in this document comprise the frequency range from 50 Hz to 5000 Hz.

(1) This document provides guidance for the development or improvement of rules deemed to help with the choosing of appropriate glazing for protection against injuries and falling, hereafter called "the Specifications". The Specifications to be written or revised can be a national regulation, a national standard, recommendations from a professional association, requirements for a particular project, etc.
(2) This document deals with the choice of the mode of breakage (see 5.2) with regard to the safety of people against:
-   the risk of injury in the event of a collision with a glazed element, e.g. a partition,
-   the risk of falling through or over a glazed element, e.g. a balustrade, and
-   the risk of accidental falling of glass fragments on people not having caused the breakage, e.g. an overhead glazing.
(3) These risks can be evaluated in the function of a normal use of the building or construction work. This includes use by the elderly, children and people with disabilities, but excludes deliberate risk taking. It presupposes a rational and responsible behaviour of the users or, in case of children, of those responsible for supervising them.
(4) The information contained in this document can be used to define minimum glass configuration. It does not exempt from the verification according to CEN/TS 19100-1 and CEN/TS 19100-2 and where appropriate CEN/TS 19100-3.
(5) Safety against burglary, vandalism, bullet attack, explosion, exposition to fire and seismic actions are not covered in this document. Preventing these risks needs further appropriate requirements.
(6) This document does not apply to the following glass products:
-   glass blocks and paver units;
-   channel-shaped glass.
(7) It also does not apply to the following applications:
-   escalators and moving walkway;
-   lifts;
-   accesses to machinery;
-   animal enclosures and aquariums;
-   greenhouses and agricultural installations;
-   temporary scaffolds.

This document presents the framework and general principles for maintenance and repair of all kinds of existing concrete structures — un-reinforced and reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and steel-concrete composite structures, or their structural members. In this document, deterioration is clearly distinguished from damage occurring in a short period and not developing over subsequent time, such as cracking and scaling due to earthquakes or impact loading, etc. Deterioration is mainly dealt with as a target for the maintenance activities. This document also provides the basic concept of repair carried out to restore structural performance of existing structures. This document does not cover those aspects of maintenance and repair that are related to serviceability and aesthetics without direct impact on durability and service life, e.g. cleaning of drains, removal of vegetation, refreshment of paint, etc. This document also does not cover repair of defects during execution of new structures.

This document specifies methods for the testing and rating of dampers and valves used in air distribution systems with pressure differences up to 2 000 Pa.
The tests incorporated in this document will address:
-   leakage past a closed damper or valve (for classification, see Annex C);
-   casing leakage (for classification, see Annex C);
-   flow rate/pressure requirement characteristics;
-   torque: (see Annex A);
-   thermal transmittance: (see Annex B).
The tests specified above are applicable to the following:
-   measurement of leakage past a closed damper or valve;
-   measurement of casing leakage;
-   determination of flow rate and pressure requirements;
-   measurement of torque characteristics (see Annex A);
-   measurement of thermal transfer characteristics to determine insulation properties (see Annex B).
This document does not apply to the acoustic testing of dampers and valves.
NOTE   Certain aspects of the dynamic performance of dampers and/or valves are dependent upon the air distribution system to which they are connected and are, therefore, difficult to measure in isolation. Such considerations have led to the omission of these aspects of the dynamic performance measurements from this document. Also, in common with other air distribution components, the results from tests carried out in accordance with this document might not be directly applicable if the damper or valve is situated in an area of non-uniform flow.
