General Information
’This document specifies a possible test setup and test methodology on how bearing arrangements can be tested in which the bearing outer ring instead of the inner ring is the rotating component. The bearing arrangement can be based on cartridge bearings but also on a symmetric or asymmetric combination of single row roller bearings which do not constitute a self-contained unit. This document focusses on grease lubricated bearing arrangements. A test setup for oil lubricated bearing arrangements is different.
The document also suggests test acceptance criteria based on the thermal behaviour of the bearings which takes the special loading and application conditions into consideration. This document offers the possibility to be referred to if bearing arrangements with rotating outer ring undergo performance testing in line with EN 12082-1 for conventional bearings.
The necessary type and extent of testing are specified by the deployment procedure specified in EN 12082-2, with respect to design requirements on the axlebox and its components.
A compliance with EN 12080 and EN 12081 of bearing and grease is not a pre-requisite for the application of this document.

This document defines the assessment of endurable longitudinal compressive force (LCF) of a vehicle. The endurable longitudinal compressive force is a parameter depending on the vehicle design. It is used to estimate the risk of derailment of a vehicle as a result of being subjected to longitudinal compressive force, under operating conditions.
NOTE 1 As operating conditions can vary in several aspects (infrastructure, train configurations etc.), this document defines uniform assessments of endurable longitudinal compressive force per vehicle in specific operating conditions. The main assessment of endurable longitudinal compressive force for conventional trains is derived from UIC 530-2:2011, which is based on practical tests performed in ERRI-B12. Assessments of endurable longitudinal compressive force for high-capacity trains in this document are required by the methodology of IRS 40421. IRS 40421 assesses operational train parameters.
This document applies to the following types of vehicles:
- single wagons;
- permanently coupled units with standard ends between the vehicles;
- permanently coupled units with diagonal buffers and screw couplers between the vehicles;
- permanently coupled units with a bar coupler between the vehicles;
- articulated units with 2-axle bogies;
- wagons with 3-axle bogies;
- low-floor wagons with eight or more axles (e.g. rolling road wagon);
- vehicles with centre couplers;
- railbound construction and maintenance machines as defined in EN 14033-1:2017.
NOTE 2 This document defines the acceptance process to be followed by vehicles that are operated in a way that high longitudinal compressive force occur in the trains due to their operational environment (e.g. train composition, brake mode, track layout).
The following vehicles are not in the scope of this document:
- locomotives and passenger rolling stocks;
- vehicles that are only operated in passenger trains.
NOTE 3 Locomotives, passenger rolling stocks and vehicles operated in passenger trains only are not in the scope of this document as they either are subject to low longitudinal compressive force in operation or have sufficient endurable longitudinal compressive force due to their axle load.
Acceptance criteria and test conditions as well as conditions for simulation are defined in this document. Conditions for dispensation of the assessment of the endurable longitudinal compressive force are also defined in this document.
This document applies principally to vehicles which operate without restrictions on tracks with a gauge of 1 435 mm in Europe.
NOTE 4 The influence on railway systems using other gauges is not sufficiently understood to extend the scope of this document to gauges other than 1 435 mm.
NOTE 5 For wagons with centre couplers, a need for assessment of derailment risk due to Longitudinal Forces on other gauges (1 524 mm, 1 600 mm, 1 668 mm) has been expressed. The influence on railway systems using other gauges is not sufficiently understood. This document only introduces some notions to assess it independently from the gauge.

This document specifies requirements for the safety of children's sleep bags which are used in the children's sleeping environment (i.e. not under supervision) and designed to provide sufficient warmth so as to remove the need for additional bedding when sleeping in a cot or similar product (e.g. crib/cradle) in which a child is contained. It is applicable to products for use by children up to the age of 24 months.
NOTE Requirements of this document are not relevant when sleep bags are used for children over the age of 24 months or when they have the ability to climb out of a cot or sleep in a bed.
This document does not apply to products
- designed for use during the care of premature children, or
- designed for children of low birthweight (i.e. lower than 2,5 kg - see B.1), or
- designed for medical settings or for children with special medical needs (see B.1), or
- for outdoor use or to products designed to keep a child warm in a pushchair (e.g. foot muff) (see B.1), or
- for use in a car restraint system for children (see B.1).

This document specifies the method of instrumented indentation test for determination of hardness and other materials parameters for the following three ranges:
macro range: 2 N ≤ F ≤ 30 kN;
micro range: 2 N > F; h > 0,2 µm;
nano range: h ≤ 0,2 µm.
For the nano range, the mechanical deformation strongly depends on the real shape of indenter tip and the calculated material parameters are significantly influenced by the contact area function of the indenter used in the testing machine. Therefore, careful calibration of both instrument and indenter shape is required in order to achieve an acceptable reproducibility of the materials parameters determined with different machines.
The macro and micro ranges are distinguished by the test forces in relation to the indentation depth.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the micro range has an upper limit given by the test force (2 N) and a lower limit given by the indentation depth of 0,2 µm.
The determination of hardness and other material parameters is given in the normative Annex A.
At high contact pressures, damage to the indenter is possible. For test pieces with very high hardness and modulus of elasticity, permanent indenter deformation can occur and can be detected using suitable reference materials. Indentations that result in damage or permanent deformation of the indenter are excluded from the scope of this test method.
This test method can also be applied to thin metallic and non-metallic coatings and non-metallic materials. In this case, it is recommended that the specifications in the relevant standards be taken into account (see also 7.3 and ISO 14577-4).
The analysis methods of this standard assume that materials behave like ideal materials. Any deviation (internal stress, pile-up, sink-in, densification, phase transitions, cracks) will result in additional uncertainties. This becomes especially important if comparisons shall be done to material parameters, obtained with other methods.

This document specifies the determination of height-resolved profiles of atmospheric backscattering by means of active optical sounding. The measurements allow the following properties of the atmosphere up to several kilometres above ground to be derived:
cloud bases;
upper boundaries of optically thin clouds;
upper and lower boundaries and internal structures of particle layers:
height of structures, e.g. inversions, boundary layer height, mixing layer height (under suitable conditions);
attenuated backscatter of the particles;
particle backscatter and extinction coefficients (requires further assumptions).
The document also addresses the depolarisation lidar and the use of multi-wavelength systems. This allows further parameters to be determined:
particle size classification (Ångström exponent, colour ratio);
shape classification (linear depolarisation degree).
The following fields of application are particularly important:
air quality monitoring (vertical structure of the boundary layer);
aviation safety (cloud base and visual range) (see ISO 28902-1[8]);
particle content and transport (e.g. volcanic dust);
weather forecasting and climate modelling (e.g. atmospheric boundary layer, cloud base, cloud microphysics);
satellite remote sensing (validation).
Examples that illustrate these applications are discussed in Annex A.
The benefits of scanning systems for parameters mentioned above are also discussed in Clause A.7.
In addition, particle backscatter lidars that measure at least two carefully selected wavelengths can be used to determine atmospheric gas concentrations. This is known as the differential absorption lidar “DIAL” technique. This technique is not part of this document and has been described in VDI 4210-1[12].
This document does not specify extended lidar techniques that monitor the following parameters quantitatively: inelastic scattering effects such as, Raman scattering, Doppler broadening, Doppler shift, multiple scattering, modulation techniques, and spectral separation of molecular and particle backscattering [high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL)]. Some of these extended techniques are or will be described in other parts of the ISO 28902 series.
This document does not address special features of airborne or satellite-borne systems.

This document specifies a test method for the sampling and analysis of airborne organic isocyanate (NCO) compounds in workplace air. The method covers organic compounds containing free isocyanate functional groups, including monomeric, oligomeric, prepolymeric and polymeric isocyanates, and addresses the measurement of total isocyanate groups in air samples collected for the assessment of occupational exposure.
The method is suitable for personal air sampling in the breathing zone for the determination of time-weighted average concentrations over sampling periods ranging from approximately 10 min to 8 h, although it can be applied to shorter sampling periods with high isocyanate air levels. It can also be used for background or fixed-location air sampling; however, due to aerodynamic effects, samplers designed for personal sampling do not necessarily exhibit the same collection characteristics when used for other purposes. It covers the measurement of airborne organic isocyanates over a concentration range of approximately 0,1 μg/m3 to 140 μg/m3 for a nominal air sample volume of 15 l; under the conditions specified in this document, typical qualitative and quantitative detection limits correspond to approximately 0,07 μg/m3 a nd 0 ,3 μg/m3, respectively, for a 15 l air sample.
This document does not apply to the simultaneous determination of isocyanates and amines, nor to modified methods employing alternative sampling devices or detection techniques not described in this document.

This document defines and describes the methodology to calculate Modelling Quality Indicators (MQI) and determine fulfilment of the Modelling Quality Objectives (MQO). MQO are provided to help ensure that modelling-based assessments of air quality in the context of the ambient air quality directive [1] are objective and comparable, and of sufficient quality to obtain reliable information about concentrations of air pollutants in ambient air. The method uses measurement uncertainty and a level of stringency as a benchmark for the acceptable level of difference between modelled and measured values.
This document concerns the performance of an entire modelling system therefore the term “modelling quality objectives” is used rather than “model quality objectives”. This document concerns the use of modelling results for assessment as specified in [2]. Such modelling systems aim to capture both the spatial and temporal variability of the environmental indicator under assessment in the modelling domain. This document establishes a method to determine if the results of a modelling system fulfil the MQO and therefore reach an adequate data quality level within the modelling domain defined for assessment.
The procedures described in this document are limited in scope as they concern only statistical performance indicators. A full evaluation of a modelling system considers additional elements of quality assurance, but such procedures are outside the scope of this document.
This document only addresses modelling applications where measurements of pollutant concentrations are available that meet the data requirements for the validation defined in this document. This document specifies MQO that are applicable to all concentration ranges that may occur in ambient air. In the context of this document, MQI and MQO are specified for:
- daily and annual averaged concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less or equal to 2,5 µm (PM2.5);
- daily and annual averaged concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less or equal to 10 µm (PM10);
- hourly, daily and annual averaged concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2);
- maximum daily 8-hour mean and seasonal averaged concentrations of ozone (O3);
- hourly, daily and annual averaged concentrations of sulphur dioxide (SO2);
- maximum daily 8-hour mean and daily averaged concentrations for carbon monoxide (CO);
- annual averaged concentrations for benzene (C6H6);
- annual averaged concentrations for lead (Pb);
- annual averaged concentrations for arsenic (As);
- annual averaged concentrations for cadmium (Cd);
- annual averaged concentrations for nickel (Ni);
- annual averaged concentrations for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP).
This document addresses competent authorities, research institutions, consultants, or other bodies responsible for the performance of air quality modelling when applied for assessment purposes.
NOTE Fulfilment of MQO is either normative or informative, depending on the quality of information used to determine the uncertainty parameters and stringency factors set out in this document.

This document specifies a method for the determination of organic isocyanates in workplace air using derivatization with di-n-butylamine (DBA) and chromatographic analysis.
This document is applicable to the determination of a wide range of organic isocyanates present in both the gas phase and the particle phase in workplace atmospheres, including monofunctional isocyanates such as isocyanic acid (ICA), methyl isocyanate (MIC), ethyl isocyanate (EIC), propyl isocyanate (PIC), butyl isocyanate (BIC) and phenyl isocyanate (PhI); monomeric diisocyanates, including 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), 2,4- and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate (TDI), 4,4′-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), 1,5-naphthyl diisocyanate (NDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and 4,4′-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (H12MDI); and multifunctional isocyanates, including oligomeric, prepolymeric and polymeric forms such as biuret-, isocyanurate- and allophanate-adducts.
The method covers air sampling using impingers, filters or combinations thereof, and analysis by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection.
The useful analytical range is approximately 2,5 ng to 500 ng of isocyanate per sample. For a nominal air sample volume of 15 l, this corresponds to approximately 0,2 µg/m3 to 33 µg/m3. These values can vary depending on the isocyanate analysed.
This document does not apply to the determination of amines or aminoisocyanates. For the determination of amines and aminoisocyanates, the method specified in ISO 17734-2[11].

This document specifies a test method for the determination of the content of n-butyl phenyl ether (BPE, CAS: 1126-79-0, also known as butoxy-benzene) in gas oils, kerosene, diesel fuel and biodiesel blends. The method uses a two-column gas chromatograph with an FID-type of detector. The application range is 0,27 mg/l to 19,75 mg/l of BPE, with the minimum and maximum reporting levels being 0,09 mg/l and 21,89 mg/l respectively.
NOTE This corresponds to 1 % to 185 % of the average marking level of the ACCUTRACE™ Plus required by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/197 [1] of 17 January 2022 establishing a common fiscal marker for gas oils and kerosene.
The method is found to be applicable to determinations beyond this range or for specific other chemical markers that fall within the distillation temperature range of middle-distillates, but for that no precision has been determined.

This document provides two broad types of requirements for the determination and use of meteorological and oceanographic (metocean) conditions for the design, construction and operation of offshore structures:
those related to the determination of environmental conditions in general, together with the metocean parameters that are required to adequately describe them;
those related to the characterization and use of metocean parameters for the design, the construction activities or the operation of offshore structures.
This document covers the following environmental conditions and metocean parameters:
extreme and abnormal values of metocean parameters that recur with given return periods that are considerably longer than the design service life of the structure;
long-term distributions of metocean parameters in the form of cumulative, conditional, marginal or joint statistics of metocean parameters;
normal environmental conditions that are expected to occur frequently during the design service life of the structure.
Metocean parameters specified in this document are applicable to:
the determination of actions for the design of new structures;
the determination of actions for the assessment of existing structures;
the site-specific assessment of mobile offshore units;
the determination of limiting environmental conditions, weather windows, actions and action effects for pre-service and post-service situations (i.e. fabrication, transportation and installation or decommissioning and removal of a structure);
the operation of the platform, where appropriate.
It is beyond the scope of this document to provide detailed instructions that can be followed to produce reliable estimates of extreme or abnormal conditions in all areas and in all cases.

This document applies to the testing of surfaces that may become contaminated by radioactive materials.
The ease of decontamination is a property of a surface and an important criterion for selecting surface
materials used in the nuclear industry, interim storage or disposal facilities from which contamination can
be removed easily and rapidly without damaging the surface. The test described in this document is a rapid
laboratory-based method to compare the ease of decontamination of different surface materials.
The results from the test can be one parameter to take into account when selecting surface coatings such
as varnish or impervious layers such as ceramics and other surfaces. The radionuclides used in this test
are those commonly found in the nuclear industry (137Cs, 134Cs and 60Co) in aqueous form. The test can also be adopted for use with other radionuclides and other chemical forms, depending on the customer requirements, if the solutions are chemically stable and do not corrode the test specimen.
The test does not measure the ease of decontamination of the surface materials in practical use, as this
depends on the radionuclide(s) present, their chemical form, the duration of exposure to the contaminant
and the environmental conditions amongst other factors.
The test method is not intended to describe general decontamination procedures or to assess the efficiency of decontamination procedures (see ISO 7503-1 to ISO 7503-3).
The test method is not suitable for use of radiochemicals if the radionuclide emits low energy gamma rays or beta particles that are readily attenuated in the surface.

This document describes an analytical method for the determination of uranium in samples from pure product materials such as U metal, UO2, UO3, U3O8, uranyl nitrate hexahydrate and uranium hexafluoride from the nuclear fuel cycle. This procedure is sufficiently accurate and precise to be used for nuclear materials accountability. This method can be used directly for the analysis of most uranium and uranium oxide nuclear reactor fuels, either irradiated or un-irradiated, and of uranium nitrate product solutions. Fission products equivalent to up to 10 % burn-up of heavy atoms do not interfere, and other elements which could cause interference are not normally present in sufficient quantity to affect the result significantly. The method recommends that an aliquot of sample is weighed and that a mass titration is used, in order to obtain improved precision and accuracy. This does not preclude the use of alternative techniques which could give equivalent performance. The use of automatic device(s) in the performance of some critical steps of the method has some advantages, mainly in the case of routine analysis.
