Ergonomie — Méthodologies d'exploration tridimensionnelles pour les bases de données anthropométriques compatibles au plan international — Partie 2: Protocole d'évaluation de la forme extérieure et de la répétabilité des positions relatives de repères

This document establishes protocols for testing of 3-D surface-scanning systems in the acquisition of human body shape data and measurements. It does not apply to instruments that measure the motion of individual landmarks.

While mainly concerned with whole-body scanners, this document is also applicable to body-segment scanners (head scanners, hand scanners, foot scanners). It applies to body scanners that measure the human body in a single view. When a hand-held scanner is evaluated, the human operator can contribute to the overall error. When systems are evaluated in which the participant is rotated, movement artefacts can be introduced; these can also contribute to the overall error. This document applies to the landmark positions determined by an anthropometrist. It does not apply to landmark positions automatically calculated by software from the point cloud.

The quality of surface shape of the human body and landmark positions is influenced by the performance of scanner systems and humans, including measurers and participants. This document addresses the performance of scanner systems by using artefacts rather than human participants as test objects.

Traditional instruments are required to be accurate to the millimetre. Their accuracy can be verified by comparing the instrument with a scale calibrated according to an international standard of length. To verify or specify the accuracy of body scanners, a calibrated test object with known form and size is used.

The intended audience is those who use 3-D body scanners to create 3-D anthropometric databases, the users of these data, and body scanner designers and manufacturers. This document intends to provide the basis for agreement on the performance of body scanners between scanner users and scanner providers as well as between 3-D anthropometric database providers and data users.

Carbon-fibre-reinforced composites — Determination of the resin, fibre and void contents

Composites renforcés de fibres de carbone — Détermination des teneurs en résine, en fibre et en vide

This document specifies methods for calculating the resin, fibre and void contents of a carbon-fibre-reinforced composite from the densities of the resin, the fibre and the composite and the mass of fibre in the composite (using method A), for calculating the fibre content from the thickness of the composite (using method B), and for calculating the fibre content by volume and areal void content through microscopic analysis (using method C).

Method A specifies three different resin removal procedures for the determination of the mass of fibre in the composite (viz a combustion procedure, a procedure by digestion in nitric acid and a procedure by digestion in a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide). The selection of the procedure to be used is made by considering the combustibility of the resin used in the composite, its ability to decompose and the type of resin concerned. Method A is only of limited applicability when filled resins are present that can prevent complete dissolution and/or combustibility of the resin.

Method B (thickness measurement method) is only applicable to composites moulded from prepregs of known fibre mass per unit area.

Method C (microscopic method) is only applicable to carbon-fibre-reinforced composites with unidirectional, orthogonal and multidirectional laminates. It can also be used as reference for determination of the areal void content and fibre volume content of aramid- or glass-fibre-reinforced plastics, but is not applicable to fabric reinforced composites.

Sludge recovery, recycling, treatment and disposal -Guidance document on chemical characterization and analysis

This technical report inventories the available reference methods for physical and chemical characterization of sludge.
Identification of reference methods dedicated to the sludge analysis was conducted by questioning standards databases, and at first base of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), as it represents a compendium of methods developed by CEN/TC 308 "sludge characterization" in response to the directive 86-276/CE. CEN/TC 400 “Sludge, treated biowaste and soil” and CEN/TC 292 “Characterization of waste” (characterisation methods) merged in 2016 in CEN / TC 444 “analytical laboratory methods for environmental solid matrices”, which is now co-responsible with CEN/TC308 for the maintenance of existing corpus and the development of new methods, if needed.
At the international level, the absence up to 2013 of ISO Standardization Committee dedicated to sludge makes identification of ISO standardized methods applicable to this matrix more difficult, as sludge has sometimes covered by other committees as related to their matrix, water and water suspended solids (ISO / TC 147 “water quality”) or soil (ISO / TC 190 “soil quality”).
EPA methods are mentioned in the bibliographic


Sludge recovery, recycling, treatment and disposal — Determination of calorific value of sludge

Valorisation, recyclage, traitement et élimination des boues — Détermination du pouvoir calorifique des boues

This Document specifies a method for the determination of the gross calorific value of sludge at constant volume and at the reference temperature 25 °C in a bomb calorimeter calibrated by combustion of certified benzoic acid.

The result obtained is the gross calorific value of the sample at constant volume with both the water of the combustion products and the moisture of the sludge as liquid water. In practice, sludge are burned at constant (atmospheric) pressure and the water is not condensed but is removed as vapour with the flue gases. Under these conditions, the operative heat of combustion to be used is the net calorific value of the fuel at constant pressure. In this European Standard the net calorific value at constant volume is described as it requires less additional determinations.

This method is applicable to all kinds of sludge

Plastics — Determination of tensile-impact strength

Plastiques — Détermination de la résistance au choc-traction

1.1     This document specifies two methods (method A and method B) for the determination of the tensile-impact strength of plastics under defined conditions. The tests can be described as tensile tests at relatively high strain rates. These methods can be used for rigid materials (as defined in ISO 472), but are especially useful for materials too flexible or too thin to be tested with impact tests conforming to the ISO 179 series or ISO 180.

1.2     These methods are used for investigating the behaviour of specified specimens under specified impact velocities, and for estimating the brittleness or the toughness of specimens within the limitations inherent in the test conditions.

1.3     These methods are applicable both to specimens prepared from moulding materials and to specimens taken from finished or semi-finished products (for example mouldings, laminates, or extruded or cast sheets).

1.4     Results obtained by testing moulded specimens of different dimensions are not necessarily the same. Equally, it is possible that specimens cut from moulded products will not give the same results as specimens of the same dimensions moulded directly from the material. Test results obtained from specimens prepared from moulding compounds cannot be applied directly to mouldings of any given shape, because values may depend on the design of the moulding and the moulding conditions. Results obtained by method A and method B can or can not be comparable.

1.5     These methods are not suitable for use as a source of data for design calculations on components. Information on the typical behaviour of a material can be obtained, however, by testing different types of test specimen prepared under different conditions, and by testing at different temperatures. The two different methods are suitable for production control as well as for quality control.

Ships and marine technology — Secured ship network based on IPv6 Ethernet network

This secured ship network based on IPv6 Ethernet network contains the minimum requirements for the implementation of the secured interconnection of marine electronic equipment on board the ship.
This standard will support connectivity and data transfer to and from all existing international standards and industrial standards about ship network interfaces such as IEC 61162-450 and Modbus TCP based on IPv4 Ethernet network. Utilizing IPv6 allows this standard to provide robust, secure and huge amount of data communication on ship, between ship to ship, ship to shore and shore to ship. It supports bi-directional data communication between multi-talker and/or multi-listeners at a speed of 100MB to 10GB/sec.

This NP (Secured Ship Network based on IPv6 Ethernet network) covers interfacing and connection of all ship systems including bridge equipment, engine, cargo and other ship systems. Equipment designed to this standard will have the ability to share data, including command and status between ship and shore, ship to ship and shore to ship and the network of IPv4 only and IPv6 only.

This NP provides faster transmission of data with inherently improved protection against cyberattacks with message authentication, confidentiality and integrity with data encryption.
Cyber Security built-n from the beginning not a 3rd party add-on.

Smart Shipping in concert with E-Navigation and Autonomous ship is being developed globally. Further, advancements to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are being made to enhance navigation safety, improve protection of the sea environment, expand economic opportunities and optimize the commerce of the shipping industry.  Successful implementation of Smart Shipping, e-Navigation and Autonomous ship includes: information exchange between ship and shore; ship automation using advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Ocean of Things (OoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M); situational awareness and remote ship infrastructure monitoring and control by streaming and image data from the Radar and CCTV; big data analysis for optimal ship operation and cyber security for protection of data. Big data analytics can provide fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance of engines, systems and equipment. Whole these technologies are able to be implemented under assumption of secure network operation and fast data exchange. An IPv6 network infrastructure supports the future needs of big data transfer between ship and shore.

IPv6 was developed from the onset to provide enhancements to IPv4 resulting in a more robust, secure, and extensible protocol, including native Quality of Service (QoS) functionality.  IPv6 marine electronic equipment is being developed in the recreational and light commercial maritime industry.  To integrate big data, secure communication, and safe navigation between ship to ship, ship to shore, and shore to ship, vessels of all sizes including SOLAS class ships will need IPv6.

The various use cases of IPv6 in maritime industries was illustrated by the activity of study group established under ISO TC8 WG10 and identified to be matured enough in equipment on board, VTS(Vessel Traffic Service), satellite communication, network infrastructure and in electronic chip set to be utilised for developing embedded system of equipment in maritime industries.

Determination and use of straight-line calibration functions

Détermination et utilisation des fonctions d'étalonnage linéaire

ISO/TS 28037:2010 is concerned with linear, that is, straight-line, calibration functions that describe the relationship between two variables X and Y, namely, functions of the form Y = A + BX. Although many of the principles apply to more general types of calibration function, the approaches described exploit the simple form of the straight-line calibration function wherever possible.

Values of the parameters A and B are determined on the basis of measured data points (xi, yi), i = 1, ... , m. Various cases are considered relating to the nature of the uncertainties associated with these data. No assumption is made that the errors relating to the yi are homoscedastic (having equal variance), and similarly for the xi when the errors are not negligible.

Estimates of the parameters A and B are determined using least squares methods. The emphasis is on choosing the least squares method most appropriate for the type of measurement data, in particular methods that reflect the associated uncertainties. The most general type of covariance matrix associated with the measurement data is treated, but important special cases that lead to simpler calculations are described in detail.

For all cases considered, methods for validating the use of the straight-line calibration functions and for evaluating the uncertainties and covariance associated with the parameter estimates are given.

ISO/TS 28037:2010 also describes the use of the calibration function parameter estimates and their associated uncertainties and covariance to predict a value of X and its associated standard uncertainty given a measured value of Y and its associated standard uncertainty.

Fasteners — Prevailing torque hexagon nuts — High nuts (with non-metallic insert)

Fixations — Écrous hexagonaux autofreinés — Écrous hauts (à anneau non métallique)

This document specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque hexagon high nuts (with non‑metallic insert), in steel and stainless steel, with metric coarse pitch thread M5 to M39, and with product grades A and B.

NOTE            These nuts are designed with an overall height equal to mmin (as specified in ISO 898-2 and ISO 4033 for style 2) plus the prevailing torque feature. The height of the prevailing torque feature (hmax – mmin) for the non-metallic insert is identical for regular, high and thin nuts for a given diameter.

If in certain cases other specifications are requested, property classes and stainless steel grades can be selected from ISO 898-2 or ISO 3506-2.


Fasteners — Prevailing torque hexagon nuts — High nuts (all metal) with slot(s)

Fixations — Écrous hexagonaux autofreinés — Écrous hauts (tout métal) à fente(s)

This document specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque (all metal) hexagon high nuts with slot(s), in steel and stainless steel, with metric coarse pitch thread M5 to M39, and with product grades A and B.

NOTE            These nuts are designed with mmin as specified ISO 4032 and with an overall height h greater than in ISO 7042, in order to accommodate the prevailing torque feature with slot(s); this height h contributes to the nut resistance due to the number of engaged threads. hmin values have been calculated as a function of hmax together with a ratio hmax/D that progresses regularly with increasing diameter; therefore, the tolerance (hmax – hmin) does not follow the ISO code system for tolerances (IT system).

If in certain cases other specifications are requested, property classes and stainless steel grades can be selected from ISO 898-2 or ISO 3506-2.

Horizontal methods for molecular biomarker analysis — Methods of analysis for the detection of genetically modified organisms and derived products — Part 7: Real-time PCR based methods for the detection of CaMV and Agrobacterium Ti-plasmid derived DNA sequences

Méthodes horizontales d'analyse moléculaire de biomarqueurs — Méthodes d'analyse pour la détection des organismes génétiquement modifiés et des produits dérivés — Partie 7: Méthodes par PCR en temps réel pour la détection des séquences ADN dérivées du plasmide Ti de la bactérie Agrobacterium et du CaMV (virus de la mosaïque du chou-fleur)

This document specifies a procedure for the detection of a DNA sequence of the open reading frame five (ORF V) from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and a procedure for the detection of the DNA sequence of the nopaline synthase (nos) gene from tumour-inducing (Ti) plasmids of phytopathogenic Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly named Agrobacterium tumefaciens). The procedures can be used in the context of screening for genetically modified crop/plants and their derived products to further clarify a positive PCR result for a specific promoter or terminator of CaMV (P-35S, T-35S), or both, and the nos gene (P-nos, T-nos), respectively.

The methods specified in this document will detect and identify naturally occurring CaMV or Rhizobium radiobacter (Ti plasmid) DNA, or both, if present in the sample in the absence of a genetically modified plant event containing the specified target sequences.

Both methods are based on the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and are applicable for the analysis of DNA extracted from foodstuffs and other products such as feedstuffs and seeds/grains. The application of the methods requires the extraction of an adequate amount of amplifiable DNA from the relevant matrix.

With appropriate calibration material, the CaMV ORF V or nos copy number, or both, can be estimated and compared, respectively, with the estimated copy number for the promoter (P-35S, P-nos) or the terminator (T-35S, T-nos) sequences, or both. Thereby, conclusions are possible about the presence of an unknown genetically modified organism (GMO) in addition to any detected CaMV DNA or Rhizobium radiobacter Ti plasmid DNA, or both, in a test sample.
