This document describes methods for simulating the mechanical loads that can be imparted to passive fire protection (PFP) materials and systems by explosions resulting from releases of flammable gas, pressurized liquefied gas, flashing liquid fuels, or dust that can precede a fire. These methods can be used to determine the resistance of passive fire protection materials to such events. This document considers PFP materials applied to substrates that are subject to the combined effects of pressure and drag that occur in the flow path of an explosion. This document excludes specimens in which the substrate is subject to plastic deformation or brittle failure.

This document specifies a method for the determination of selected polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE) (see Figure 1 and Table 1) in sediment, suspended particulate matter and biota using gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) or with high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) in the electron impact (EI), negative ion chemical ionization (NCI) or atmospheric pressure ionization (APCI) mode.
The method is applicable to sediment and suspended particulate matter samples with limits of quantification of 0,2 µg/kg dry mass (dm) for brominated diphenylether (BDE) BDE-28 to BDE-183, of 2 µg/kg dry mass (dm) for BDE‑209.

This document is directly applicable to pulsed X-radiation with pulse duration of 0,1 ms up to 10 s. This range covers the whole range used in medical diagnostics at the time of publication. Some specifications can also be applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the air kerma of one pulse. Such a pulse can be produced, e.g. by X-ray flash units or high-intensity femtosecond-lasers. Other specifications are not applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate. This cannot be measurable for technical reasons as no suitable instrument is available, e.g. for pulses produced by a femtosecond-laser.
This document specifies the characteristics of reference pulsed radiation for calibrating and testing radiation protection dosemeters and dose rate meters with respect to their response to pulsed radiation. At this point, it is only concerned with the characteristics of single pulses. Single pulses are the most difficult for dosemeters to measure. Determining the dose for repeated pulses is easier, but still more difficult than for continuous radiation, i.e. the performance of the dosemeters when measuring repeated pulses lies between these extremes. The radiation characteristics includes the following:
time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate of the pulse;
time-dependent behaviour of the X-ray tube high voltage during the pulse;
uniformity of the air kerma rate within a cross-sectional area of the radiation beam;
air kerma of one radiation pulse;
air kerma rate of the radiation pulse;
repetition frequency.
This document does not define new radiation qualities but uses those radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards. Instead, this document gives the link between the parameters for pulsed radiation and the parameters for continuous radiation specifying the radiation qualities. It does not specify specific values or series of values for the pulsed radiation field but specifies only those limits for the relevant pulsed radiation parameters that are required for calibrating dosemeters and dose rate meters and for determining their response depending on the said parameters.
The pulse parameters with respect to the phantom-related quantities were determined using conversion coefficients according to ISO 4037 (all parts). This is possible as the radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards are used.
A given reference pulsed X-ray facility is characterized by the parameter ranges over which the full specifications and requirements according to this document are met. Therefore, not all reference pulsed X-ray facilities can produce pulses covering the same parameter ranges.

This document shows measures and potentials in the medium and long term to contribute to decarbonisation, resource efficiency and sustainability in the concrete sector compared to those measures that can already be taken in daily business today. Reduction of GHG emissions and resource efficiency are to be addressed at the same time and can affect each other; e.g. decreasing amount of fly ash in some countries due to the decommissioning of coal-fired power plants. As the embodied carbon in construction accounts for approx. 25-30 % of the GHG emissions of the life cycle of a typical building today, it has to be embedded into a LCA approach for the whole service life.
On CEN-Level as a consequence the general question is: “What can be done in the standards to go further in supporting decarbonisation, resource efficiency and sustainability in the concrete sector in the best possible way.
Values in the annexes are subject to change over time e.g. based on changes in the respective standards.

This document specifies a test method using radioactive methyl iodide (CH3131I) as a tracer to determine the in-situ decontamination factor of an iodine trap. An in-situ test allows to reach the global efficiency of the trap characterized by the sorbent efficiency but also by the implementation of the trap within the ventilation duct) while the intrinsic efficiency of a charcoal is characterized in a laboratory by ISO 18417[9] (or other national standards such as ASTM D3803[10]). This document provides general and common requirements for this method to assess the efficiency of an iodine trap, but also, the tools requirements, accuracy and the provisions needed to ensure safety of the workers, public and the environment during the test. This reproducible method can support nuclear facility operators as a reference method to compare the decontamination factor evaluated by this method to reference values (e.g. safety criteria, national legislation, etc.). Because of the use of a radioactive tracer, some precautions should be applied. Firstly, this method is usually used for ventilation systems with monitoring of gaseous iodine releases in environment in accordance with the national regulations. Secondly, this method is not used to determine the decontamination factor of iodine traps used in ventilation systems with air release in rooms with potential presence of workers (e.g. control room). For those rooms, a non-radioactive method is preferred. This document can apply to installations with low inventory of radioiodine equipped with iodine traps (e.g. small laboratories). In this case, some provisions can be adapted but always in accordance with the national regulations. Finally, this document mainly deals with iodine traps using impregnated activated carbon. However, this method can be used with some adaptations to other solid sorbent as inorganic sorbent (e.g. zeolite – aluminium and silica base usually doped with silver nitrate – or impregnated catalytic supports[11][12]).

While the ISO standards on IDMP can be applied to off-label usage of medicinal products, such applications are currently outside of the scope of this document.
Reference to ISO 11238, ISO 11239, ISO 11240, ISO 11615, HL7 V3 messaging standards (HL7 Reference Information Model (RIM)[8], HL7 Common Product Model (CPM)[9] and HL7 V3 Structured Product Labelling (SPL)[10], and HL7 FHIR[11] can be applied for pharmaceutical product information in the context of this document.

This document describes a method to expose test organisms (amphipods), directly on the field by a caging methodology, with the aim to measure bioaccumulation of chemical substances on a monitoring station, i.e. either the concentrations of metals or organic compounds, or both, accumulated in the organisms. This document also describes the specifications for test organism selection and conditioning, in situ exposure, and finally sorting and conditioning of the surviving organisms after exposure. This document does not apply to organism preparation methods (freeze-drying, extraction, mineralization) and quantification of the chemical substances.

This document specifies requirements for the chemical and physical properties as well as quality control procedures for ground limestone for use as an addition in concrete.
This document is also applicable to ground limestone to be used in mortars and grouts.
This document does not specify provisions for the use of ground limestone in the production of concrete.

This document specifies the methods used for the chemical analyses and the determination of physical properties of calcium carbonate, high-calcium lime, half-burnt dolomite, magnesium oxide, calcium magnesium carbonate and dolomitic lime used to treat water for human consumption.
This document specifies the reference methods and, in certain cases, an alternative method which can be considered to be equivalent.

This document specifies performance requirements for alternative core laminates intended for interior use, the core layer compositions of which are not covered by EN 438-3 [1], EN 438-4 [2], EN 438-5 [3], EN 438-6 [4] and EN 438-8 [5]. The core layer types (coloured core layer and metal reinforced core layer) are specified in this part of the EN 438 series.
