Laboratory glass and plastics ware -- Tubes for the measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate by the Westergren method

This International Standard specifies requirements for single-use and re-usable glass and plastics tubes for measuring the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) by the Westergren method, and for a support to hold tubes during the performance of the test. These so-called “Westergren tubes” are also sometimes designated as “Westergren pipettes”. A procedure for measuring the erythrocyte sedimentation rate by the Westergren method is given in informative Annex D. This International Standard does not apply to single-use containers for human venous blood specimen collection and their accessories for which other standards apply. It also does not apply for devices where the Westergren method has been used as basis to develop other, similar methods or equipment for the erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination.


Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts - Lifts for the transport of persons and goods - Part 21: New passenger and goods passenger lifts in existing building

This European Standard specifies the safety rules related to new passenger and goods/passenger lifts permanently installed in existing buildings where in some circumstances due to limitations enforced by building constraints, some requirements of EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 cannot be met (see also 4th sentence of Introduction). This European Standard addresses a number of these constraints and gives requirements for alternative solutions. It shall be read and applied in conjunction with the European Standards EN 81-1 or EN 81-2 !deleted text, including their Clause 0. This European Standard covers:  Either the construction and installation of one or more complete new lift(s) including new well and machinery spaces in an existing building; or  The replacement of one or more existing lift(s) by new ones in existing well(s) and machinery spaces. This European Standard does not cover:  Replacement or modifications of some parts to a lift already installed;  Other applications outside of the scope of EN 81-1 or EN 81-2.


Information technology -- Vocabulary -- Part 37: Biometrics

ISO/IEC 2382-37:2017 establishes a systematic description of the concepts in the field of biometrics pertaining to recognition of human beings and reconciles variant terms in use in pre-existing biometric standards against the preferred terms, thereby clarifying the use of terms in this field. Excluded from the scope of this document are concepts (represented by terms) from information technology, pattern recognition, biology, mathematics, etc. Biometrics uses such fields of knowledge as a basis. In principle, mode specific terms are outside of scope of this document. Words that are bolded are defined in this document. Words that are not bolded are understood in their natural language sense. The authority for natural language use of terms in this document is the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Thumb Index Edition (tenth edition, revised, 2002). Words used in their natural language sense are considered out-of-scope for further definition in this document.


Identification cards -- Integrated circuit cards -- Part 11: Personal verification through biometric methods

ISO/IEC 7816-11:2004 specifies the usage of interindustry commands and data objects related to personal verification through biometric methods in integrated circuit cards. The interindustry commands used are defined in ISO/IEC 7816-4. The data objects are partially defined in this International Standard, partially imported from ISO/IEC 19785-1. ISO/IEC 7816-11 also presents examples for enrollment and verification and addresses security issues.


Identification cards -- Integrated circuit cards -- Part 15: Cryptographic information application

ISO/IEC 7816-15:2016 specifies an application in a card. This application contains information on cryptographic functionality. This part of ISO/IEC 7816 defines a common syntax and format for the cryptographic information and mechanisms to share this information whenever appropriate. The objectives of this part of ISO/IEC 7816 are to - facilitate interoperability among components running on various platforms (platform neutral), - enable applications in the outside world to take advantage of products and components from multiple manufacturers (vendor neutral), - enable the use of advances in technology without rewriting application-level software (application neutral), and - maintain consistency with existing, related standards while expanding upon them only where necessary and practical. It supports the following capabilities: - storage of multiple instances of cryptographic information in a card; - use of the cryptographic information; - retrieval of the cryptographic information, a key factor for this is the notion of "Directory Files", which provides a layer of indirection between objects on the card and the actual format of these objects; - cross-referencing of the cryptographic information with DOs defined in other parts of ISO/IEC 7816 when appropriate; - different authentication mechanisms; - multiple cryptographic algorithms (the suitability of these is outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 7816). ISO/IEC 7816-15.2016 does not cover the internal implementation within the card and/or the outside world. It is not mandatory for implementations complying with this International Standard to support all options described. In case of discrepancies between ASN.1 definitions in the body of the text and the module in Annex A, Annex A takes precedence.

Gas analysis -- Determination of the water dew point of natural gas -- Cooled surface condensation hygrometers

This International Standard describes hygrometers used for the determination of the water dew Point of natura1 gases by detecting water vapour condensation occurring on a cooled surface or by checking the stability of the condensation on this surface.


Natural gas -- Determination of potential hydrocarbon liquid content -- Gravimetric methods

This International Standard describes the principles of, and general requirements for, two gravimetric methods for the determination of the potential hydrocarbon liquid content of natural gas, or similar gas, at a given pressure and temperature. Two methods are specified in this International Standard to determine the amount of condensate in a sample gas: Method A: a manual weighing method; Method B: an indirect automatic weighing method based on the indication of the pressure difference caused by the accumulation of condensate in a vertical tube. The manual weighing method is a reference method for the indirect automatic method (Method B). The indirect automatic method (Method B) is suitable for semi-continuous control. NOTE Unless otherwise specified, gas volumes are in cubic metres at 273,15 K and 101,325 kPa.


Natural gas -- Calculation of calorific values, density, relative density and Wobbe index from composition

This International Standard specifies methods for the calculation of the superior calorific value, inferior calorific value, density, relative density and Wobbe index of dry natural gases, natural gas substitutes and other combustible gaseous fuels, when the composition of the gas by mole fraction is known. The methods provide a means of calculating the properties of the gas mixture at commonly used metric reference conditions. The methods of calculation require values for various physical properties of the pure components; these values are provided in tables and their sources are identified. Methods are given for estimating the precision of calculated properties. The methods of calculation of the values of properties on either a molar or mass basis are applicable to any dry natural gas, natural gas substitute or other combustible fuel which is normally gaseous. For the calculation of the values of properties on a volumetric basis, the methods are restricted to gases consisting preponderantly of methane (not less than 0,5 mole fraction). Examples of calculations are given in annex D for the recommended methods of calculation. NOTES 1 The symbols used in this International Standard, together with their meanings, are given in annex A. 2 The qualifiers “higher”, “upper”, “total” and “gross” are, for the purposes of this International Standard, synonymous with “superior”; likewise, “lower” and “net” are synonymous with “inferior”. The term “heating value” is synonymous with “calorific value”; “specific gravity” is synonymous with “relative density”; “Wobbe number” is synonymous with “Wobbe index”; “compressibility factor” is synonymous with “compression factor”. 3 If the composition of the gas is known by volume fractions these must be converted to mole fractions (see annex C). Note, however, that the derived mole fractions will have uncertainties greater than those of the original volume fractions. 4 For the purposes of this International Standard, the sum of the mole fractions used must be unity to the nearest 0,000 I, and all components with mole fractions greater than 0,000 05 must be accounted for. 5 For the calorific value calculated on a volumetric basis, there are limitations on the amounts of components other than methane which may be present. It is impossible to be definitive on this matter, but the following guidelines may be useful: N, should not be present in amounts exceeding 0,3 mole fraction; CO, and C,H, should each not exceed 0,15 mole fraction; no other component should exceed 0,05 mole fraction. Given these limits, the expected trueness of the calculation is within 0,l %. 6 The effects of water vapour on the calorific value, either directly measured or calculated, are discussed in annex F. 7 For the methods of calculation described to be valid, the gas must be above its hydrocarbon dew-point at the prescribed reference conditions. 8 The values of basic physical property data are subject to revision as more accurate values become available from authoritative sources.


Natural gas -- Determination of water by the Karl Fischer method -- Part 1: Introduction

This part of IS0 10101 specifies general requirements for the determination of water in natural gas using the Karl Fischer method. IS0 10101-2 and IS0 10101-3 specify two individual methods of determination, a titration procedure and a coulometric procedure, respectively.


Natural gas -- Determination of water by the Karl Fischer method -- Part 2: Titration procedure

This part of IS0 10101 specifies a titrimetric procedure for the determination of water content in natural gas. Volumes are expressed in cubic metres at a temperature of 273,15 K (0 “C) and a pressure of 101,325 kPa (1 atm). It applies to water concentrations between 5 mg/m3 and 5 000 mg/m3.


Natural gas -- Determination of water by the Karl Fischer method -- Part 3: Coulometric procedure

This part of IS0 10101 specifies a coulometric procedure for the direct determination of water content by the Karl Fischer method. The method applies to natural gas and other gases which do not react with Karl Fischer reagents. It applies to water concentrations between 5 mg/m3 and 5 000 mg/m3. Volumes are expressed a temperature of 273,15 K (0 “C) and a pressure of 101,325 kPa (1 atm).


Natural gas -- Determination of water content at high pressure

Water vapour may be present in natural gas due to, for example, natural occurrence in the well production stream, the storage of gas in underground reservoirs, transmission or distribution through mains containing moisture or other reasons. This International Standard specifies a method of determining the water content of natural gas under pressures of more than 1 MPa, the upper pressure limit being determined by the maximum pressure that the apparatus can withstand. It is applicable to sweet natural gas and sour natural gas, containing hydrogen sulfide, with a water concentration of 10 mg/m3 or more?) NOTE - Test data may be affected by alcohols, mercaptans, hydrogen sulfide and glycol contained in the sample gas, as these compounds react with the phosphorus pentoxide (P205) used to absorb the water vapour in the gas.


Natural gas -- Measurement of properties -- Volumetric properties: density, pressure, temperature and compression factor

This international Standard gives requirements and procedures for the measurement of the properties of natural gas that are used mainly for volume calculation and volume conversion: density at reference and at operating conditions, pressure, temperature and compression factor. Only those methods and instruments are considered that are suitable for field operation under the conditions of natural gas transmission and distribution, installed either in-line or on-line, and that do not involve the determination of the gas composition. This International Standard gives examples for currently used instruments that are available commercially and of interest to the natural gas industry. NOTE Attention is drawn to requirements for approval of national authorization agencies and to national legal regulations for the use of these devices for commercial or official trade purposes. The density at reference conditions (sometimes referred to as normal, standard or even base density) is required for conversion of volume data and can be used for other physical properties. Density at operating conditions is measured for mass-flow measurement and volume conversion using the observed line density and can be used for other physical properties. This International Standard covers density transducers based on vibrating elements, normally suitable for measuring ranges of 5 kg/m3 to 250 kg/m3. Pressure measurement deals with differential, gauge and absolute pressure transmitters. It considers both analogue and smart transmitters (i.e. microprocessor based instruments) and, if not specified otherwise, the corresponding paragraphs refer to differential, absolute and gauge pressure transmitters without distinction. Temperature measurements in natural gas are performed within the range of conditions under which transmission and distribution are normally carried out (253 K < T < 338 K). In this field of application, resistance thermometer detectors (RTD) are generally used. The compression factor (also known as the compressibility factor or the real gas factor and given the symbol Z) appears, in particular, in equations governing volumetric metering. Moreover, the conversion of volume at metering conditions to volume at defined reference conditions can properly proceed with an accurate knowledge of Z at both relevant pressure and relevant temperature conditions.


Natural gas -- Measurement of properties -- Calorific value and Wobbe index

This International Standard concerns the measurement of calorific value of natural gas and natural gas substitutes by non-separative methods, i.e. methods that do not involve the determination of the gas composition nor calculation from it. It describes the principles of operation of a variety of instruments in use for this purpose, and provides guidelines for the selection, evaluation, performance assessment, installation and operation of these. Calorific values can be expressed on a mass basis, a molar basis or, more commonly, a volume basis. The working range for superior calorific value of natural gas, on the volume basis, is usually between 30 MJ/m3 and 45 MJ/m3 at standard reference conditions (see ISO 13443). The corresponding range for the Wobbe index is usually between 40 MJ/m3 and 60 MJ/m3. This International Standard neither endorses nor disputes the claims of any commercial manufacturer for the performance of an instrument. Its central thesis is that fitness-for-purpose in any particular application (defined in terms of a set of specific operational requirements) can be assessed only by means of a well-designed programme of experimental tests. Guidelines are provided for the proper content of these tests.


Natural gas -- Correlation between water content and water dew point

This International Standard specifies a method to provide users with a reliable mathematical relationship between water content and water dew point in natural gas when one of the two is known. The calculation method, developed by GERG; is applicable to both the calculation of the water content and the water dew point. This International Standard gives the uncertainty for the correlation but makes no attempt to quantify the measurement uncertainties.


Natural gas -- Gas chromatographic requirements for hydrocarbon dewpoint calculation

This International Standard describes the performance requirements for analysis of treated natural gas of transmission or pipeline quality in sufficient detail so that the hydrocarbon dewpoint temperature can be calculated using an appropriate equation of state. It can be applied to gases that have maximum dewpoint temperatures (cricondentherms) between 0 °C and – 50 °C. The pressures at which these maximum dewpoint temperatures are calculated are in the range 2 MPa (20 bar) to 5 MPa (50 bar). Major components are measured using ISO 6974 (all parts) and the ranges of components that can be measured are as defined in ISO 6974-1. The procedure given in this International Standard covers the measurement of hydrocarbons in the range C5 to C12. n-Pentane, which is quantitatively measured using ISO 6974 (all parts), is used as a bridge component and all C6 and higher hydrocarbons are measured relative to n-pentane.

Specification for mortar for masonry - Part 1: Rendering and plastering mortar

This European Standard is applicable to factory made rendering/plastering mortar based on inorganic binders for external (rendering) and internal (plastering) use on walls, ceilings, columns and partitions. It contains definitions and final performance requirements. It does not cover mortars where calcium sulphate binder is the principle active binding agent. Calcium sulphate binder can be used as an additional binder together with air lime. If air lime is the principle active binding component, the rendering/plastering mortar is covered by this European Standard. If the calcium sulphate binder is the principle active binding component, the mortar is covered by EN 13279. The classification is carried out by the producer of the mortar. Special fire resistant- and acoustical mortars, mortars for structural repair and surface treatments of building elements such as materials for smoothing or trueing, paints, coatings, thin-layer organic renders/plasters and prefabricated units (e.g. plaster boards) are not dealt with in this European Standard. This European Standard covers rendering/plastering mortars defined in Clause 3 with the exception of site made rendering/plastering mortars. However, this European Standard or part of this European Standard may be used in conjunction with codes of application and national specifications covering site made mortars.


Specification for mortar for masonry - Part 2: Masonry mortar

This European Standard specifies requirements for factory made masonry mortars (bedding, jointing and pointing) for use in masonry walls, columns and partitions (e.g. facing and rendered masonry, load bearing or non-load bearing masonry structures for building and civil engineering). This European Standard defines for fresh mortars the performance related to workable life, chloride content, air content, density and correction time (for thin-layer mortars only). For hardened mortars it defines e.g. performances related to compressive strength, bond strength, density measured according to the corresponding test methods contained in separate European Standards. This European Standard provides for the evaluation of conformity of the product to this European Standard. The marking requirement for products covered by this European Standard is included. This European Standard covers masonry mortars defined in Clause 3 with the exception of site made mortars. However, this European Standard or part of this European Standard may be used in conjunction with codes of applications and national specifications covering site made mortars


Adhesives for tiles - Requirements, evaluation of conformity, classification and designation

This European Standard specifies the methods for determining characteristics for adhesives used in internal and external installation of ceramic tiles. This European Standard does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles. The following test methods are described: - determination of open time (8.1); - determination of slip (8.2); - determination of tensile adhesion strength for cementitious adhesives (8.3); - determination of shear adhesion strength of dispersion adhesives (8.4); -determination of shear adhesion strength of reaction resin adhesives (8.5); - determination of transverse deformation of cementitious adhesives (8.6). NOTE Ceramic tile adhesives can be used also for other kinds of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), if they do not adversely affect the stones. WARNING - This European Standard can involve hazardous materials and operations. Persons using this standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This European Standard does not purport to address all the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any European and national regulatory conditions.


Sterilization of health care products -- General requirements for characterization of a sterilizing agent and the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices

1.1 Inclusions 1.1.1 This International Standard specifies general requirements for the characterization of a sterilizing agent and for the development, validation and routine monitoring and control of a sterilization process for medical devices. NOTE Although the scope of this International Standard is limited to medical devices, the requirements specified herein can also be applied to sterilization processes for other health care products. 1.1.2 This International Standard applies to sterilization processes in which microorganisms are inactivated by physical and/or chemical means. 1.1.3 This International Standard is intended to be applied by process developers, manufacturers of sterilization equipment, manufacturers of medical devices to be sterilized, and organizations responsible for sterilizing medical devices. 1.1.4 This International Standard specifies the elements of a Quality Management System which are necessary to assure the appropriate characterization of the sterilizing agent, development, validation and routine monitoring and control of a sterilization process. NOTE It is not a requirement of this International Standard to have a full quality management system. The necessary elements are normatively referenced at appropriate places in the text (see, in particular, Clause 4). Attention is drawn to the standards for quality management systems (see ISO 13485) that control all stages of production or reprocessing of medical devices. National and/or regional regulations for the provision of medical devices might require the implementation of a full quality management system and the assessment of that system by a third party. 1.2 Exclusions 1.2.1 This International Standard does not apply to sterilization processes that rely solely on physical removal of microorganisms (for example, filtration). 1.2.2 This International Standard does not describe detailed procedures for assessing microbial inactivation. 1.2.3 This International Standard does not specify requirements for characterization of an agent or for development, validation and routine control of a process for inactivating the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Specific recommendations have been produced in particular countries for the processing of materials potentially contaminated with these agents. NOTE See also ISO 22442-1, ISO 22442-2 and ISO 22442-3. 1.2.4 This International Standard does not supersede or modify published International Standards for particular sterilization processes.


In vitro diagnostic test systems -- Requirements for blood-glucose monitoring systems for self-testing in managing diabetes mellitus

This International Standard specifies requirements for in vitro glucose monitoring systems that measure glucose concentrations in capillary blood samples, for specific design verification procedures and for the validation of performance by the intended users. These systems are intended for self-measurement by lay persons for management of diabetes mellitus. This International Standard is applicable to manufacturers of such systems and those other organizations (e.g. regulatory authorities and conformity assessment bodies) having the responsibility for assessing the performance of these systems. This International Standard does not: — provide a comprehensive evaluation of all possible factors that could affect the performance of these systems, — pertain to glucose concentration measurement for the purpose of diagnosing diabetes mellitus, — address the medical aspects of diabetes mellitus management, — apply to measurement procedures with measured values on an ordinal scale (e.g. visual, semiquantitative measurement procedures), or to continuous glucose monitoring systems, — apply to glucose meters intended for use in medical applications other than self-testing for the management of diabetes mellitus
