ISO - International Organization for Standardization
The International Organization for Standardization is an independent, non-governmental organization, the members of which are the standards organizations of the 164 member countries. It is the world's largest developer of voluntary international standards and it facilitates world trade by providing common standards among nations. More than twenty thousand standards have been set, covering everything from manufactured products and technology to food safety, agriculture, and healthcare.
Use of the standards aids in the creation of products and services that are safe, reliable, and of good quality. The standards help businesses increase productivity while minimizing errors and waste. By enabling products from different markets to be directly compared, they facilitate companies in entering new markets and assist in the development of global trade on a fair basis. The standards also serve to safeguard consumers and the end-users of products and services, ensuring that certified products conform to the minimum standards set internationally.

This document describes procedures for determining the specific volume of plastics as a function of temperature and pressure in both the molten and solid states. This document specifies the use of a piston-equipped apparatus in which the test sample, held in a measurement cell, is pressurized by means of the piston. Measurements under conditions of constant pressure or constant temperature can be made. NOTE For the acquisition of data needed for processing design, the isobaric cooling method is found to be more useful, see ISO 17282. The result of this measurement cannot be used directly for injection-moulding simulation. This document is used to obtain: — pvT diagrams that represent the relationship which exists between pressure, specific volume and temperature for a given material; — volumetric compressibility and volumetric thermal-expansion coefficients; — information on first-order and glass transitions as a function of temperature and pressure.

This document describes an analytical method to determine the emissions from non-metallic materials used for moulded parts in motor vehicles, such as textiles, carpets, adhesives, sealing compounds, forms, leather, plastic parts, films and sheets, paints or material combinations. The materials are characterized in terms of the type and quantity of organic substances that can be outgassed from them. For this purpose, two semiquantitative sum values are determined, which allow an estimation of the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC value) and the proportion of condensable substances [low volatile “fogging” compound (FOG) value]. Furthermore, individual substances of the emission are determined. During the analysis, the samples are thermally extracted, the emissions are separated by gas chromatography and detected by mass spectrometry. The test method presented in this document provides values that are valid only for conditions described in this document. The results which can be achieved using this method are not appropriate for making further estimations of any kind of the health effects of emitted substances nor should they be used might that can be found in the interior of a complete vehicle in stationary condition, while driving or in conditions similar to driving.

This Recommendation | International Standard supplements Rec. ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8 and Rec. ITU-T X.510 | ISO/IEC 9594-11 by providing an extended description of cryptographic algorithms and guidance in establishment and maintenance of a public-key infrastructure (PKI). It is outside the scope of this Recommendation | International Standard to define new cryptographic algorithms, but it is within scope to discuss already-defined cryptographic algorithms that provide optimal protection, including future protection against attacks using powerful quantum computers. This Recommendation | International Standard specifies how public-key infrastructure (PKI) may be adapted to support machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, e.g., smart grid and Internet of things (IoT), to allow interworking. This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the procedures for establishment and maintenance of a PKI supporting new areas, such as intelligent electricity network (smart grid) and industrial Internet of things.

This document specifies the method for selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to analyse thin crystalline specimens. This document applies to test areas of micrometres and sub-micrometres in size. The minimum diameter of the selected area in a specimen which can be analysed by this method is restricted by the spherical aberration coefficient of the objective lens of the microscope and approaches hundreds of nanometres for a modern TEM. When the size of an analysed specimen area is smaller than the spherical aberration coefficient restriction, this document can also be used for the analysis procedure. However, because of the effect of spherical aberration and deviation of the specimen height position, some of the diffraction information in the pattern can be generated from outside of the area defined by the selected area aperture. In such cases, the use of microdiffraction (nano-beam diffraction) or convergent beam diffraction, where available, can be preferred. This document is applicable to the acquisition of SAED patterns from crystalline specimens, indexing the patterns and calibration of the camera constant.
