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 applies to nuclear power plants with water cooled reactors. For other nuclear facilities check the applicability of the document in advance, before it might be applied correspondingly. This document specifies the requirements for the earthquake safety of components. The operation-specific safety-related requirements for each component, e.g. load-bearing capacity (stability), integrity and functionality (see 4.1) are not the subject of this document. With regard to analysing the mechanical behaviour of the individual components and verifying the fulfillment of their safety related functions, additionally, the respective component-specific standards need to be consulted. In this document, the term "mechanical components" refers to components such as vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, lifting gear, distribution systems and pipe lines including their support structures in as far as these components are not considered to be civil structures in accordance with ISO 4917-3. Liners, crane runways, platforms and scaffoldings are not considered as being part of these mechanical components. In this document, the term electrical components refers to the combination of electrical devices including all electrical connections and their support structures (e.g. cabinets, frames, consoles, brackets, suspensions or supports). Supplementary to this document the seismic qualification of electrical components is reported in IEC/IEEE 60980-344. NOTE This document is independent of national standards. Recommendations, given in Annex A, are mainly based on the Eurocodes-Design-Philosophy and European Standards. Alternatively other equivalent standards or regulations can be used in case the general requirements given in this document together with Annex A can be met.

This document applies to civil structures of nuclear power plants with water cooled reactors in order to achieve the safety objectives given in ISO 4917-1. For other nuclear facilities the applicability of the document needs to be checked in advance, before it might be applied correspondingly. This document specifies the requirements for civil structures for the verification of their load-bearing capacity in case of a seismic event. Additionally, requirements are specified pertaining to the verification of the serviceability of civil structures as far as necessary for maintaining their safety-related function in case of a seismic event (e.g. deformation and crack-width limitations). This document will be applied under the presumption that the geology and tectonics of the plant site have been investigated with special emphasis on the existence of active geological faults and lasting geological ground displacements, and that the site has been deemed suitable for a nuclear installation. To achieve these goals, this document deals with the requirements specific to the seismic design of civil structures above and beyond their conventional design. The basic requirements of these precautionary measures are dealt with in ISO 4917-1. This document does not apply to cranes, to detachment devices for lifting equipment nor to the supporting and mounting constructions of components. This document is independent of national standards. Recommendations, given in Annex A, are mainly based on the KTA Design-Philosophy and European standards. Alternatively other equivalent standards or regulations can be used in case the general requirements given in this document can be met. NOTE The term civil structures as used in this document comprise buildings and structural members made of reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, steel, as well as steel composite structures and masonry. Among others, these include the containment, crane runways, platforms, fastening constructions and canals.

This document specifies procedures for the calculation of the energy needs for heating and cooling,
internal temperatures and sensible and latent heat loads of a building according to the hourly
calculation methodology in ISO 52016-1. Additions or modifications of the calculations are provided
in this document if the building envelope contains one or more adaptive building envelope elements
(building envelope elements with adaptive components that are either environmentally or actively
controlled as a function of specific conditions). The adaptive building envelope element replaces the
transparent building element in the calculation according to ISO 52016-1.
The three types of adaptive building envelope elements covered in this document are:
— building envelope elements with dynamic solar shading;
— building envelope elements with chromogenic glazing;
— building envelope elements with an actively ventilated cavity.
Environmentally activated control is described for building envelope elements with chromogenic
glazing, but can also occur for other types of adaptive building envelope elements. In that case the same
approach applies as for environmentally activated chromogenic glazing.
This document is applicable to the assessment of the energy performance of buildings (EPB) (energy
performance labels and certificates), including comparison between buildings and checking conformity
with minimum energy performance criteria.
It is also applicable to assess the contribution of the adaptive building envelope element to the smart
readiness of a building.
In addition, this document provides indicators for the impact of the adaptive building envelope element
on the performance of the building compared to a reference building envelope element. It is applicable
to buildings at the design stage, to new buildings after construction and to existing buildings in the use
phase.
This document is not applicable to geometrically complex adaptive building envelope elements that can
only be modelled as multiple coupled thermal zones.
NOTE The background to the selection of adaptive building envelope elements is given in ISO/TR 52016-4.

This document defines the acoustic performance of four classes (Classes A, B, C and D) of pipe insulation. It also defines a standardized test method for measuring the acoustic performance of any type of material system construction, thereby allowing existing and new insulation constructions to be rated against the four classes. Furthermore, this document presents some typical types of construction that would be expected to meet these acoustic performance classes. This document is applicable to the acoustic insulation of cylindrical steel pipes and to their piping components. It is valid for pipes up to 1 m in diameter and a minimum wall thickness of 4,2 mm for diameters below 300 mm, and 6,3 mm for diameters from 300 mm and above. It is not applicable to the acoustic insulation of rectangular ducting and vessels or machinery. This document covers both design and installation aspects of acoustic insulation and provides guidance to assist noise control engineers in determining the required class and extent of insulation needed for a particular application. It gives typical examples of construction methods, but the examples are for information only and not meant to be prescriptive. This document emphasises the aspects of acoustic insulation that are different from those of thermal insulation, serving to guide both the installer and the noise control engineer. Details of thermal insulation are beyond the scope of this document.

This document describes a method for measuring the insulation performance of building elements, e.g. exterior walls, floors, ceilings (hereinafter referred to collectively as "walls"). This is done by using the probe insertion method, which gives the temperature distribution in the wall with a temperature sensor in a small diameter borehole in the wall. The measurement method is divided into a quantitative method, which measures the thermal resistance with a heat flow measurement, and a qualitative method without heat flow measurement. This document describes a screening test that is used for preliminary and practical diagnosis. The method is applicable to plane building components with a light heat capacity, such as those in frame structure dwellings. The measured results give the insulation performance at the local measurement points rather than that of the whole panel including thermal bridges such as studs.

This document specifies procedures for the calculation of the energy needs for heating and cooling, internal temperatures and sensible and latent heat loads of a building according to the hourly calculation methodology in ISO 52016-1. Additions or modifications of the calculations are provided in this document if the building envelope contains one or more adaptive building envelope elements (building envelope elements with adaptive components that are either environmentally or actively controlled as a function of specific conditions). The adaptive building envelope element replaces the transparent building element in the calculation according to ISO 52016-1.
The three types of adaptive building envelope elements covered in this document are:
—     building envelope elements with dynamic solar shading;
—     building envelope elements with chromogenic glazing;
—     building envelope elements with an actively ventilated cavity.
Environmentally activated control is described for building envelope elements with chromogenic glazing, but can also occur for other types of adaptive building envelope elements. In that case the same approach applies as for environmentally activated chromogenic glazing.
This document is applicable to the assessment of the energy performance of buildings (EPB) (energy performance labels and certificates), including comparison between buildings and checking conformity with minimum energy performance criteria.
It is also applicable to assess the contribution of the adaptive building envelope element to the smart readiness of a building.
In addition, this document provides indicators for the impact of the adaptive building envelope element on the performance of the building compared to a reference building envelope element. It is applicable to buildings at the design stage, to new buildings after construction and to existing buildings in the use phase.
This document is not applicable to geometrically complex adaptive building envelope elements that can only be modelled as multiple coupled thermal zones.
NOTE            The background to the selection of adaptive building envelope elements is given in ISO/TR 52016-4.

IEC 62561-3:2023 © IEC 2023 – 7 –
LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS (LPSC) –
Part 3: Requirements for isolating spark gaps (ISGs)
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for isolating spark gaps (ISGs) for
lightning protection systems.
ISGs can be used to indirectly bond a lightning protection system to other nearby metalwork
where a direct bond is not permissible for functional reasons.
Typical applications include the connection to
• earth-termination systems of power installations,
• earth-termination systems of telecommunication systems,
• auxiliary earth electrodes of voltage-operated, earth fault circuit breakers,
• rail earth electrodes of power and DC railways,
• measuring earth electrodes for laboratories,
• installations with cathodic protection and stray current systems,
• service entry masts for low-voltage overhead cables,
• bypassing insulated flanges and insulated couplings of pipelines.
Applications where follow currents occur are not included.
Extra requirements for the components can be necessary for LSCs intended for use in
hazardous atmospheres.
NOTE 1 In CENELEC member countries, testing requirements of components for explosive atmospheres are
specified in CLC/TS 50703-2.
NOTE 2 Testing of components for an explosive atmosphere (as defined in the IEC 60079-10 series) is not covered
by this document.

This European Standard assigns sound insulation values to all transparent, translucent and opaque glass products, described in the European Standards for basic, special basic or processed glass products, when intended to be used in glazed assemblies in buildings, and which exhibit properties of acoustic protection, either as a prime intention or as a supplementary characteristic.
This document outlines the procedure, by which glass products may be rated, according to their acoustic performance which enables assessment of compliance with the acoustic requirements of buildings.
Rigorous technical analysis of measurement data remains an option, but this standard is intended to enable the derivation of simpler indices of performance, which can be adopted with confidence by non-specialists.
By adopting the principles of this standard the formulation of acoustic requirements in Building Codes and for product specification to satisfy particular needs for glazing is simplified.
It is recognised that the acoustic test procedures contained within EN ISO 140-1 and EN ISO 140-3 relate only to glass panes and their combinations. Although the same principles should be followed as closely as possible, it is inevitable that some compromises are necessary, because of the bulkier construction of other glazing types, e.g. glass blocks, paver units, channel-shaped glass, structural glazing and structural sealant glazing. Guidelines on how to adapt the test procedures for these glazing types are offered in Clause 4.
All the considerations of this standard relate to panes of glass/glazing alone. Incorporation of them into windows may cause changes in acoustic performance as a result of other influences, e.g. frame design, frame material, glazing material/method, mounting method, air tightness, etc. Measurements of the sound insulation of complete windows (glass and frame) may be undertaken to resolve such issues.
