This part of BS 4592 specifies requirements for the design, manufacture, supply and installation of industrial type flooring, stair treads and handrailing for manufacturers and suppliers that are common to parts 1 to 6 of BS 4592 (all parts).

In addition to the definitive requirements, this standard also requires the items detailed in Clause 4 to be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the definitive requirements and the documented items have to be satisfied.

NOTE 1   Annex A gives methods of calculation and testing of the strength and deflection of flooring and walkways.

NOTE 2 Annex B gives recommendations for installation of floor panels.

NOTE 3 Annex C gives details of slip resistance testing.

This standard does not cover agricultural uses (see BS 5502). Parts 1 to 6 of BS 4592 give specific requirements additional to those in this part (see Foreword).

For permanent protective barriers in and about buildings whether permanently fixed or secured by counter balance weights reference should be made to BS 6180:2011.

For temporary protective barriers in and about buildings reference should be made to BS EN 13374.

This International Standard provides guidelines for specific activities in the handling of digital evidence, which are identification, collection, acquisition and preservation of potential digital evidence that may be of evidential value. This International Standard provides guidance to individuals with respect to common situations encountered throughout the digital evidence handling process and assists organizations in their disciplinary procedures and in facilitating the exchange of potential digital evidence between jurisdictions.

This International Standards gives guidance for the following devices and circumstances:

-    Digital storage media used in standard computers like hard drives, floppy disks, optical and magneto optical disks, data devices with similar functions,

-       Mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs), memory cards,

-      Mobile navigation systems,

-      Digital still and video cameras (including CCTV),

-      Standard computer with network connections,

-      Networks based on TCP/IP and other digital protocols, and

-      Devices with similar functions as above.

This Recommendation | International Standard provides a framework for managing entity authentication assurance in a given context.  In particular, it:

-          specifies four levels of entity authentication assurance;

-          specifies criteria and guidelines for achieving each of the four levels of entity authentication assurance;

-          provides guidance for mapping other authentication assurance schemes to the four LoAs;

-          provides guidance for exchanging the results of authentication that are based on the four LoAs; and

-          provides guidance concerning controls that should be used to mitigate authentication threats.

This International Standard provides guidance on the integrated implementation of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 for those organizations which are intending to either:

a)      implement ISO/IEC 27001 when ISO/IEC 20000-1 is already implemented, or vice versa;

b)     implement both ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 together;

c)      integrate existing ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 management systems.

This standard focuses exclusively on the integrated implementation of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1.

NOTE     In practice, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 can also be integrated with other management systems, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

This part of ISO/IEC 29192 specifies three lightweight mechanisms using asymmetric techniques:

-       a unilateral authentication mechanism based on discrete logarithms on elliptic curves;

-       an authenticated lightweight key exchange (ALIKE) mechanism for unilateral authentication and establishment of a session key;

-       an identity-based signature mechanism.

This International Standard specifies the security requirements for a cryptographic module utilised within a security system protecting sensitive information in computer and telecommunication systems.  This International Standard defines four security levels for cryptographic modules to provide for a wide spectrum of data sensitivity (e.g. low value administrative data, million dollar funds transfers, life protecting data, personal identity information, and sensitive information used by government) and a diversity of application environments (e.g. a guarded facility, an office, removable media, and a completely unprotected location).  This International Standard specifies four security levels for each of 11 requirement areas with each security level increasing security over the preceding level.

This International Standard specifies security requirements specified intended to maintain the security provided by a cryptographic module and compliance to this International Standard is not sufficient to ensure that a particular module is secure or that the security provided by the module is sufficient and acceptable to the owner of the information that is being protected.

This International Standard provides practical guidance to suppliers on decisions that should be made about the safety of consumer products and the type of documentation required to verify that the assessment and management of risks was carried out and to assist organizations in meeting applicable regulatory requirements. More specifically, it describes how to:

·      identify, assess, reduce or  eliminate hazards; 

·      manage risks by reducing them to a tolerable level; and 

·      provide consumers with hazard warnings or instructions essential to the safe use or disposal of consumer products. 

 

This Standard was drafted for consumer products but may be useful for decisions concerning safety in other product sectors.
