This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of mono‑ to octa‑polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) in waters and waste waters (containing less than 2 g/l solid particulate material (SPM)) using high resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). The congeners analysed by this method are listed in Table 1. The working range of the method is 20 pg/l to 8 ng/l. The method is optimized for PCNs, but may be modified to include other co‑planar compounds such as polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDDs/PCDFs) and dioxin‑like tetra‑ to hepta‑chlorinated biphenyls (dlPCBs). This method may be used to determine PCNs in other matrices (e.g. biota, sediments, air), however additional clean‑up steps and techniques may be required for samples with high organic loadings. Low resolution mass spectrometry (LRMS) and mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MS/MS) may be used and conditions are summarized in Annex A. Both LRMS and MS/MS may be less selective than HRMS and there is a possibility of bias due to interfering compounds if these techniques are used.

The detection limits and quantification levels in this method are dependent on the level of interferences as well as instrumental limitations. The minimum levels (ML) in Table 2 are the levels at which the PCNs can typically be determined with no interferences present.

This method is “performance based". The analyst is permitted to modify the method e.g. to overcome interferences, provided that all performance criteria in this method are met. The requirements for establishing method validation / equivalency are given in Clause 9.

The present document specifies the functional accessibility requirements applicable to ICT products and services, together with a description of the test procedures and evaluation methodology for each accessibility requirement in a form that is suitable for use in public procurement within Europe.

The present document is intended to be used as the basis for an online procurement toolkit. It will primarily be useful for public procurers to identify the requirements for their purchases, and also for manufacturers to employ it within their design, build and quality control procedures.

It reflects the needs of users of ICT and documents the accessibility features that are required in publicly procured ICT.

The present document contains all of the necessary functional requirements and provides a reference document such that if procedures are followed by different actors, the results of testing are similar and the interpretation of those results is clear.

The test descriptions and evaluation methodology included in the present document are elaborated to a level of detail compliant with ISO/IEC 17007:2009 [i.13], so that conformance testing can give conclusive results.

The inherent nature of certain situations makes it impossible to make reliable and definitive statements that accessibility requirements have been met. For this reason, the requirements in the present document are not applicable:

•            to the situation in which the party claiming accessibility exerts no control on the functionality or content;

•            when the product is in a failure, repair or maintenance state where the ordinary set of input or output functions are not available;

•            during those parts of start-up, shutdown, and other state transitions that can be completed without user interaction.

NOTE:      Even in the above situations, it is best practice to apply requirements in the present document wherever it is feasible and safe to do so.

This document specifies requirements for assessing the working life and provides the relevant exposure conditions.

The method is applicable to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) intended for the use as pure biofuel or as a blending component for diesel fuels, and to blends of FAME with petroleum-based diesel containing 2 % (V/V) of FAME at minimum.

NOTE 1       A similar test method for oxidation stability at 110 °C is described in EN 15751 [1], which applies to pure FAME and Diesel/FAME blends containing 2 % (V/V) of FAME at minimum. Another alternative for distillate fuels is described in EN ISO 12205 [3].

NOTE 2       For induction periods higher than 48 h the precision is not covered by the precision statement of this method. The limit values of the relevant fuel standards are well within the scope of this test method.

The presence of cetane improver can reduce the oxidation stability determined by this test method. Limited studies with 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN) indicated, however, that the stability is reduced to an extent which is within the precision range of the test method.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of mercury in fertilizers after extraction with aqua regia and the detection of mercury by vapour generation (VG) coupled to an atomic absorption spectrometer or an inductively coupled plasma‑atomic emission spectrometer. A limit of quantification of 0,01 mg/kg is to be expected.

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of arsenic in fertilizers using inductively coupled plasma‑atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) after aqua regia dissolution. Limits of quantification are dependent on the sample matrix as well as on the instrument, but can roughly be expected to be 1,5 mg/kg for As.

This document is an introduction to EN 419111, the European Standard that contains Protection Profiles defining the security requirements for Signature Creation and Signature Verification applications.

This European Standard covers membranes, individual substructure components, substructure kits and suspended ceiling kits intended to be placed on the market. It covers suspended ceilings sold as a complete kit, substructures placed on the market as kits, individual components (products) of such substructures, and membrane components. It includes test methods and methods of assessment, as well as provisions for the evaluation of conformity and for the marking of the products to the requirements of this European Standard.

In the absence of any other European Standard, this European Standard specifies dimensions, tolerances and, where relevant, performance requirements, for commonly available ceiling substructures and membrane components.

This European Standard covers the following characteristics:

—       reaction to fire;

—       fire resistance (suspended ceiling kits only);

—       release and/or content of dangerous substances:

—      release of asbestos (content) (suspended ceiling kits and membrane components only);

—      release of formaldehyde (suspended ceiling kits and membrane components only);

—      other dangerous substances;

—       shatter properties (safe breakage)/impact resistance (for suspended ceiling kits and membrane components of brittle materials in suspended ceiling kits only);

—       flexural tensile strength;

—       load bearing capacity, tolerances and dimensions;

—       electrical safety (as adequacy of the product to avoid electrocution from installations that may be part of the assembled ceiling, using electricity, such as ventilation devices and lighting);

—       direct airborne sound insulation (suspended ceiling kits only);

—       sound absorption (suspended ceiling kits and membrane components only);

—       thermal conductivity (suspended ceiling kits and membrane components only);

—       susceptibility to the growth of harmful micro-organisms;

—       resistance to fixings (relevant for components that are mechanically fixed);

—       durability of flexural tensile strength and load bearing capacity against moisture.

This European Standard also covers the following requirements:

—       colour and light reflectance;

—       installation.

This European Standard does not cover the following:

—       ceiling substructures and membrane component covered by other harmonised European Standards, for in-situ formed ceilings, covered by other European technical specifications, for which it is the installer, not the component manufacturer, who takes responsibility for ensuring that the complete installed suspended ceiling meets any regulatory requirements to which it is subject;

—       stretched ceilings covered by EN 14716;

—       ceilings in mobile buildings, caravans and other forms of transportation;

—       characteristics needed for special applications, for which additional characteristics other than covered by this European Standard would need to be complied with;

—       suspended ceilings intended for uses in ceilings subject to water penetration requirements

—       ceilings used externally where requirements other than covered by this standard would apply (tunnels, canopies, petrol stations, arcades, open sports facilities, car parks etc.);

—       heavy duty suspended ceilings or their supporting construction (e.g. ceilings that can be walked on);

—       ceilings made from fire protective boards;

—       the performance and health and safety requirements of light fittings and other features that, optionally, are included in the suspended ceiling;

—       panels from materials covered in other harmonised European standards already prepared by CEN/TC 241 and CEN/TC 112 (see NOTE 2)

—       anchors covered by other European technical specifications.

NOTE 1       These standards have been developed by CEN/TC 241 under the Mandate M/106 “Gypsum products” and by CEN/TC 112 under the Mandate M/113 “Wood-based panels”.

This European Standard also gives certain specifications for the installed suspended ceiling system (see NOTE 1).

NOTE 2          There are two reasons for this:

—        the individual components and kits may have to meet certain requirements in order for the installed system to be able to meet the requirement when the system is installed, and

—        it is appropriate, for ease of reference, to give both component/kit requirement and installed system requirement in the same document, given the relationship between them.

This European Standard provides information for the various parties responsible for designing, manufacturing and specifying/selecting suspended ceilings used for interior applications in general building and civil engineering structures.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for footvalves for use on transportable tanks with a minimum working pressure greater than 50 kPa for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail.

It is applicable to equipment for use on tanks with gravity and/or pressure bottom loading and discharge for liquid chemicals and liquefied gases. It includes carbon dioxide while excluding cryogenic gases.

This European Standard specifies general requirements for medical devices carried in air ambulances and used therein and outside hospitals and clinics in situations where the ambient conditions can differ from normal indoor conditions.

This European Standard does not cover the requirements for approval and registration of the vehicle and the training of the staff which is the responsibility of the authority/authorities in the country where the ambulance is to be registered.

This European Standard specifies the characteristics, specifications, and the corresponding classification of interior and/or exterior fillers, whether in powder or paste form, in aqueous or solvent phase, mono- or multi-component. It completes these by other properties to be specified on a case by case basis. It applies to products designed to cover all backgrounds and substrates in traditional materials or compliant with the standards in force, whether new or existing, bare or coated, absorbent or non-absorbent, smooth or rough, in order to prepare them to receive a paint or related system, or a bonded cover, whether specific or not. More generally intended to improve the surface appearance, they can also: not be over-coated, create a textured appearance or not, and be treated/coloured or not (pigments, wax, etc).

Exterior fillers are not intended as top coat.

Interior coating materials with grain size over 1,0 mm are not covered by this standard.

NOTE 1       On a smooth and non-absorbent substrate, it may be necessary before filling to carry out a light sanding and/or apply a suitable bonding primer.

This standard complies with the general system for classification of water-borne coating materials and coating systems for interior walls and ceilings described in EN 13300.

This standard complies with the general system for the description of coating materials and coating systems for exterior masonry and concrete described in EN 1062-1.

The essential function of fillers is therefore a decorative function. So these fillers are considered here as preparatory and/or decorative fillers, of smooth or textured appearance.

NOTE 2       Nothing prevents preparatory surface filler from being coated with a paint system comprising protective functions.

However, they are not suitable for truing of backgrounds, since they are applied without dots and screeds, without specifications regarding the verticality, angularity or flatness under a 2,00 m straight edge, or thickness. Their application never requires, to assure they bond correctly, the prior application of a rigid reinforcement such as a lathwork or wire mesh, or a spatter-dash or grout or striating of the surface between two coats. They may nevertheless incorporate a flexible reinforcement (strip of calico of natural or synthetic fabric) for example along joints between different or same materials, in order to limit visible cracking.

Under these conditions, this European Standard does not concern products covered by the following standards:

This document gives recommendations for the selection, use, care and maintenance of hearing protectors.

This European Standard applies to hydronic fan coil units (FCU) as factory-made single assemblies which provide the functions or cooling and/or heating but do not include the source of cooling or heating.

The standard covers both free delivery and ducted units with a maximum external static pressure due to duct resistance of 120 Pa max.

This European standard provides methods for the determination of the acoustical performance of fan coil units, defining standard working condition and installation.

It is not the purpose of this standard to specify the tests used for production or field testing.

NOTE          For the purpose of remaining clauses the term “unit” is used to mean “fan coil unit” as defined in 3.1 of prEN 1397:2013.

Part 3 of EN 16489 defines the requirements for and assessment of the service provision of indoor sun exposure facilities, and will contribute to further strengthen consumer protection and safety with regard to professionally offered indoor tanning services.

Requirements for UV appliances for skin exposure are excluded in this standard, as they fall under the scope of EN 60335-2-27.

This International Standard specifies a method suitable for production control or product development purposes, for assessing the heat release rate of essentially flat products exposed in the horizontal orientation to controlled levels of radiant heating with an external igniter. The heat release rate is determined by use of a thermopile instead of the more accurate oxygen consumption techniques. The time to ignition (sustained flaming) is also measured in this test. Test specimen mass loss may optionally also be measured.

This European Standard specifies a method based on inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) for the determination of manganese content present as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT 1)) and of iron content present as ferocene, each from about 0,5 mg/l to about 7,0 mg/l in distillate fuels including those containing up to about 10 % (V/V) fatty acid methylester (FAME).

WARNING — The use of this European Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

NOTE 1       Manganese and iron contents higher than 7,0 mg/l can be measured after preliminary dilution of the sample with a suitable solvent. However, the precision has not been established for such a procedure.

NOTE 2       For the purposes of this European Standard, the term “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction (φ) of a material.

This document deals with the equipment requirements, execution of and reporting of the determination of the bulk density of soils.

NOTE 1    This document fulfils the requirements of the determination of the bulk density of soils for geotechnical investigation and testing in accordance with EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.

NOTE 2    If required, the dry density of a specimen may be calculated from the bulk density and the water content, if known.

The bulk density of a soil is useful in the determination of the in-situ overburden stresses at various depth (geostatic stresses). Furthermore, bulk and dry density can qualitatively describe the mechanical characteristics of a soil via empirical relationships which are to be found in the technical literature. Such relationships should be used only as guidelines and should be supplemented by direct measurements of the mechanical characteristics.

This document describes three methods:

a)     linear measurement method;

b)    immersion in fluid method;

c)     fluid displacement method.

The linear measurement method is suitable for the determination of the bulk density of a specimen of soil of regular shape, including specimens prepared for other tests. The specimens used are either rectangular or cylindrical prisms.

The immersion in fluid method covers the determination of the bulk density of a specimen of natural or compacted soil by measuring its mass in air and its apparent mass when suspended in fluid. The method may be used when lumps of material of suitable size can be obtained.

The fluid displacement method covers the determination of the bulk density of a specimen of soil by measuring its mass in air and the mass of fluid displaced by immersion. The method may be used when lumps of material of suitable size can be obtained.

NOTE Ideally, test specimens should be at least 50 cm³ in volume, and preferably significantly larger, otherwise the uncertainty of the reported result may not be in accordance with the reporting requirements of this document. 

This document deals with the equipment requirements, execution of and reporting of the determination of water content in soils.

NOTE This document fulfils the requirements of the determination of water content of soils for geotechnical investigation and testing in accordance with EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.

This document specifies the laboratory determination of the water (also known as moisture) content of a soil test specimen by oven-drying within the scope of geotechnical investigations. The water content is required as a guide to the classification of natural soils and as a control criterion in re-compacted soils, and is measured on samples used for most field and laboratory tests. The oven-drying method is the definitive procedure used in usual laboratory practice.

The practical procedure for determining the water content of a soil is to determine the mass loss on drying the test specimen to a constant mass in a drying oven controlled at a given temperature. The mass loss is assumed to be due to free water and is referenced to the remaining dry mass of solid particles.

This part of EN 16582-3 specifies the specific safety and quality requirements and test methods for domestic aboveground swimming pools in addition to the general requirements of EN 16582‑1 and shall be read in conjunction with it. The requirements of this specific standard take priority over those in EN 16582-1.

These requirements and test methods are applicable to aboveground pool structure, including their means of access.

This document applies to pools with a minimum water depth more than 400 mm.

This standard does not apply to:

—       pools of public use covered by EN 15288-1;

—       paddling pools according to EN 71-8;

—       domestic spas.

This part of EN 16582-2 specifies the specific safety and quality requirements and test methods for domestic partially or fully in ground swimming pools in addition to the general requirements of EN 16582‑1 and shall be read in conjunction with it. The requirements of this specific standard take priority over those in EN 16582-1 .

These requirements and test methods are only applicable to partially or fully in ground pool structure, including their means of access.

This document applies to pools with a minimum water depth of 400 mm.

This standard does not apply to:

—       domestic spas ;

—       paddling pools according to EN 71-8.

This International Standard enables estimation of the environmental bioavailability of trace elements to plants either basically as concentration in shoots and roots or in a more integrative way as the net uptake flux in plants. The biotest procedure includes two successive steps: (i) a pre-growth of plants in hydroponics and (ii) a growth of plants in contact with soil samples. The concentration in shoots and roots as well as the net uptake flux of trace elements in plants are determined at the end of the second step of the biotest procedure.

This International Standard is applicable to the assessment of environmental bioavailability of trace elements to plants, more particularly agricultural plants, in soils or soil materials under oxic conditions, considering that:

—       Three plant species (cabbage, Brassica oleracea; tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea; tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum; 7.1) are suggested in the standardised biotest procedure, but additional target-plant species can also be used (7.1, Annex A),

—       The standardised biotest procedure is validated for a range of trace elements including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn), but additional trace elements can be also accounted for (Annex A).

This International Standard can be applied to soils and soil materials, including soils amended before or after field sampling with composts, sludges, wastewaters and other (waste) materials.

NOTE 1       This International Standard is not designed to assess the environmental bioavailability of trace elements that are prone to volatilisation or resulting from uptake occurring in plant leaves following e. g. atmospheric fallout.

NOTE 2       This International Standard is not designed to assess the environmental bioavailability to plants of organic contaminants. A similar experimental procedure could be used but the physical separation between plant roots and soil using a polyamide mesh needs to be adapted to avoid organic contaminant sorption on the mesh.

1.1 This European standard specifies the general requirements for the construction, performance and safety of ball valves and closed bottom taper plug valves. It also details the test methods and marking requirements.

It applies to metallic valves for domestic and commercial not directly buried installations inside or outside of buildings, using gases of the first, second and third family (specified in EN 437) and working up to

0,2 · 10⁵ Pa, 0,5 · 10⁵ Pa, 1 x 10⁵Pa. 5 · 10⁵ Pa and 20 x 10⁵Pa.

NOTE          "Not directly buried" within the context of this standard means that valves below ground are not in direct contact with earth or other materials e.g. that they are in a protected encasement.

1.2 Valve nominal sizes (DN) covered by this European standard are as follows: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50.
