This standard gives guidance on establishing a decision-making framework for sharing data and information services in smart cities. It covers: a) types of data in smart cities; b) establishing a data sharing culture; c) data value chain – roles and responsibilities; d) purposes for data use; e) assessing data states; f) defining access rights for data; and g) data formats/format of transportation. This standard aims to support the sharing of data and information services within cities. For some cities there will also be a need to establish specific data sharing agreements, particularly where data is being shared by multiple organizations at once. This standard supports a transparent approach to making decisions and creating specific data sharing agreements in order to fully realise the benefits and value of data and information services in a city. Missing data or misinterpretation of data can lead to the wrong actions being taken by city decision-makers. A decision-making framework for sharing data can help ensure that they have the best overall data on which to base decisions. This standard does not cover: a) national security issues; b) good practice for use of data by the citizen; c) existing interoperability agreements between cities; d) defining application programming interfaces (API) networks; or e) any data sharing rules and regulations specific to a particular jurisdiction. It is assumed that a security-minded approach to data sharing is used by cities. NOTE 1 Further details on the areas not covered in this standard, including information on relevant standards publications, are given in Annex A. This standard is for use by decision-makers in smart cities from the public, private and third sectors. It is also of interest to any city organization wishing to share data.

This document specifies a mechanism for exchanging data and messages in the following cases: a) exchange between a traffic management centre and ITS roadside equipment for traffic management; b) exchange between ITS roadside equipment used for traffic management. This document is not applicable to: — communication between traffic management centres and in-vehicle units; — communication between ITS roadside equipment and in-vehicle units; — in-vehicle communication; — in-cabinet communication; — motion video transmission from a camera or recorded media. This document is suitable for use when both of the following conditions apply: 1) The data to be exchanged can be defined as one or more elements that can be retrieved or stored – SNMP can support a wide variety of devices and has adopted the concept of a management information base (MIB), which identifies the configuration, control and monitoring parameters for ITS roadside equipment. This standardized approach is commonly used for network management applications for devices such as routers, switches, bridges and firewalls. It is also used in many regions to control devices such as dynamic message signs. 2) Guaranteed, deterministic, real-time exchange of data is not critical – SNMP operations typically require less than 100 ms, but the underlying network can cause multi-second delays in delivering messages or even lost messages; thus, SNMP is not intended for applications that require reliable sub-second communications. This document can be used for: — intermittent exchange of any defined data (normal SNMP operations allow messages to be structured by combining any group of elements into a retrieval or storage request); — repeated, frequent exchanges of the same message structure (with potentially different values), even on relatively low-bandwidth links; NOTE 1 The dynamic object feature, defined in ISO/TS 26048-1, can be used to eliminate a considerable amount of overhead that is normally associated with SNMP communications to make it more suitable for low-bandwidth links. — allowing ITS roadside equipment to issue exception reports when special conditions arise. NOTE 2 Exception reporting uses SNMP notifications in combination with the notification management features defined in ISO/TS 26048-1.

Field devices are a key component in intelligent transport systems (ITS). Field devices include traffic signals, message signs, weather stations, traffic sensors, roadside equipment for connected ITS (C-ITS) environments, etc. Field devices often need to exchange information with central devices (managers). Field devices can be quite complex necessitating the standardization of many data concepts for exchange. As such, the ISO 22741 series is divided into several individual parts. This document identifies basic user needs for the management of virtually any field device and traces these needs to interoperable designs. This includes the ability to identify the device, its capabilities and its status. ISO 22741-1 provides additional details about how the ISO 22741 series relates to the overall ITS architecture.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the mass concentration of particulate arsenic and arsenic compounds in workplace air sampled on a filter (e. g. 37 mm cellulose nitrate filter), digested with acid or an acid mixture and analysed quantitively by using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET-AAS). The method is not suitable for determination of arsenic in the form of metal arsenides, which decompose in the presence of water or acid, or for arsenic trioxide vapour. Many different types of sampling apparatus are used to collect respirable or inhalable dust, according to the occupational hygiene convention. This document is designed to accommodate the variety of samplers and collection substrates available to analysts. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 21832 which promotes best practices for these analyses. The method is applicable to the determination of masses of approximately 0,2 µg to 2 μg of arsenic per sample, for analysis of test solutions prepared using sample solution aliquots in the recommended range (see 10.1.3 and 10.1.4.1). The concentration range for arsenic in air, for which this procedure is applicable, is determined in part by the sampling procedure selected by the user. The method is applicable to personal and stationary air sampling. A number of transition metals can interfere with the determination of arsenic by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (see 11.3).

This document specifies the applicable requirements related to the design and the operation of confinement and ventilation systems for fusion facilities for tritium fuels and tritium fuel handling facilities specific for fusion applications for peaceful purposes using high tritium inventories, as well as for their specialized buildings such as hot cells, examination laboratories, emergency management centres, radioactive waste treatment and storage facilities. In most countries, a tritium quantity is declared as high for tritium inventories higher than a range of 10 g to 100 g. In the tritium fusion facilities in the scope of this document, the tritium inventory is deemed to be higher than this range for the whole site. This document applies especially to confinement and ventilation systems that ensure the safety function of nuclear facilities involved in nuclear fusion with the goal to protect the workers, the public and the environment from the dissemination of radioactive contamination originating from the operation of these installations, and in particular from airborne tritium contamination with adequate confinement systems. The types of confinement systems for other facilities are covered by ISO 26802 for fission nuclear reactors, by ISO 17873 for facilities other than fission nuclear reactors and by ISO 16647 for nuclear worksite and for nuclear installations under decommissioning. The facilities covered by these three standards, notably ISO 17873, include tritium as a radioactive material among the ones to be confined, but tritium is not their driver of the risks for workers and for members of the public. Nevertheless, the tritium quantities and risks from fusion facilities create specificities for a specific standard (e.g. in fusion facilities, tritium is the driver of routine and accident consequences). Therefore, the scope of this document does not cover the other facilities involved in tritium releases (ISO 17873, ISO 16647 and ISO 26802), even though these other facilities create tritium releases (e.g. non-reactor fission facilities, tritium laboratories, tritium removal facilities from fission plants, tritium defence facilities).

This document specifies minimum safety requirements and test methods for protective clothing including hoods, aprons, sleeves, and gaiters that are designed to protect the wearer's body including head (hoods) and feet (gaiters) and that are to be worn during welding and allied processes with comparable risks. For the protection of the wearer’s head and feet, this document is only applicable to hoods and gaiters. This document does not cover requirements for feet, hand, face, and/or eye protectors. This type of protective clothing is intended to protect the wearer against the following hazards: — spatter (small splashes of molten metal) in 2 risk levels, short contact time with flame, radiant heat from an electric arc used for welding and allied processes, — harmful artificial optical radiation (UV-A, UV-B and especially UV-C) in 3 risk levels generated during welding and allied processes and — minimizes the possibility of electrical shock by short-term, accidental contact with live electrical conductors at voltages up to approximately 100 V d. c. in normal conditions of welding. Sweat, soiling, or other contaminants can affect the level of protection provided against short-term accidental contact with live electric conductors at these voltages. The main manual welding processes are exemplified and are classified into process groups according to the maximum effectively emitted total irradiance, which has been determined and evaluated by measurement for these types of welding processes. For adequate overall protection against the risks to which welders are likely to be exposed, personal protective equipment (PPE) covered by other standards should additionally be worn to protect the head, face, hands, and feet. This document is not applicable for laser welding processes (coherent, monochromatic radiation sources). Guidance for the selection of protective clothing for different welding activities is detailed in Annex B.
