Mechanical vibration and shock — Signal processing — Part 1: General introduction

Vibrations et chocs mécaniques — Traitement du signal — Partie 1: Introduction générale

ISO 18431-1:2005 defines the mathematical transformations, including the physical units, that convert each category of vibration and shock data into a form that is suitable for quantitative comparison between experiments and for quantitative specifications. It is applicable to the analysis of vibration that is deterministic or random, and transient or continuous signals. The categories of signals are defined in Clause 6.

Extreme care is to be exercised to identify correctly the type of signal being analysed in order to use the correct transformation and units, especially with the frequency domain analysis.

The data may be obtained experimentally from measurements of a mechanical structure or obtained from numerical simulation of a mechanical structure. This category of data is very broad because there is a wide variety of mechanical structures, for example, microscopic instruments, musical instruments, automobiles, manufacturing machines, buildings and civil structures. The data can determine the response of machines or of humans to mechanical vibration and shock.

Software engineering — Mk II Function Point Analysis — Counting Practices Manual

Génie logiciel — Analyse des points fonctionnels Mk II — Manuel des pratiques de comptage

ISO/IEC 20968:2002 specifies the set of definitions, conventions and activities of the MkII FPA Functional Size Measurement Method.

The method can be used to measure the functional size of any software application that can be described in terms of logical transactions, each comprising an input, process and output component. The sizing rules were designed to apply to application software from the domain of business information systems, where the processing component of each transaction tends to be dominated by considerations of the storage or retrieval of data.

The method may be applicable to software from other domains, but the user should note that the sizing rules do not take into account contributions to size such as from complex algorithms as typically found in scientific and engineering software, nor do the rules specifically take into account real-time requirements

MK II FPA is independent of the project management method to be used and of the development method employed. It is a measure of the logical, business requirements, independent of how they are implemented.


Information technology — Programming languages, their environments and system software interfaces — JEFF file format

Technologies de l'information — Langages de programmation, leurs environnements et interfaces de logiciel système — Format de fichier JEFF

This International Standard can be used with benefits on all kinds of platform.

This International Standard's most immediate interest is for deploying portable applications

on small footprint devices. This International Standard provides dramatic savings of

dynamic memory and execution time without sacrificing any of the flexibility usually attached

to the use of non-pre-linked portable code.

This International Standard is especially important to provide a complete solution to execute

portable programs of which code size is bigger than the available dynamic memory.

This International Standard is also very important when fast reactivity of programs is

important. By avoiding the extra-processing related to loading into dynamic memory and

formatting classes at runtime, this International Standard provides a complete answer to the

problem of class-loading slow-down.

These benefits are particularly interesting for small devices supporting financial applications.

Such applications are often complex and relying on code of significant size, while the

pressure of the market often imposes to these devices to be of a low price and,

consequently, to be very small footprint platforms. In addition, to not impose unacceptable

delays to customers, it is important these applications do not waste time in loading classes

into dynamic memory when they are launched but, on the contrary, to be immediately

actively processing the transaction with no delay. When using smart cards, there are also

some loose real-time constraints that are better handled if it can be granted that no

temporary freezing of processing can occur due to class loading.

This International Standard can also be of great benefit for devices dealing with real-time

applications. In this case, avoiding the delays due to class loading can play an important

role to satisfy real-time constraints.


Air quality — Guidelines for estimating measurement uncertainty

Qualité de l'air — Lignes directrices pour estimer l'incertitude de mesure

ISO 20988:2007 provides comprehensive guidance and specific statistical procedures for uncertainty estimation in air quality measurements including measurements of ambient air, stationary source emissions, indoor air, workplace atmospheres and meteorology. It applies the general recommendations of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) to boundary conditions met in air quality measurement. The boundary conditions considered include measurands varying rapidly in time, as well as the presence of bias in a series of observations obtained under conditions of intended use of methods of air quality measurement.

The methods of measurement considered comprise methods corrected for systematic effects by repeated observation of reference materials, methods calibrated by paired measurement with a reference method, methods not corrected for systematic effects because they are unbiased by design, and methods not corrected for systematic effects in intended use deliberately taking into account a bias.

Experimental data for uncertainty estimation can be provided either by a single experimental design in a direct approach or by a combination of different experimental designs in an indirect approach.

Information technology — Enhanced communications transport protocol: Specification of QoS management for simplex multicast transport — Part 2:

Technologies de l'information — Protocole de transport de communications amélioré: Spécification de la gestion de la qualité de service pour le transport simplex en multidiffusion — Partie 2:

ISO/IEC 14476-2:2003 is an integral part of ITU-T Recommendation X.ectp | ISO/IEC 14476 having the main title of Enhanced communications transport protocol, which is a family of protocol specifications designed to support multicast transport services.

ISO/IEC 14476-1 provides a specification of various protocol operations for simplex multicast transport. Those protocol operations include connection management such as connection creation/termination and connection pause/resume, membership management such as late join, user leave and membership tracking, and error control for multicast data transport such as error detection and recovery.

ISO/IEC 14476-2:2003 provides a specification of QoS management for accomplishing desirable quality of service in simplex multicast transport connection.

ISO/IEC 14476-2:2003 describes the following QoS management operations:

a) QoS negotiation

 For QoS negotiation, this specification assumes that a desired QoS level for multicast application service can be expressed in terms of a set of QoS parameters. QoS negotiation is performed via exchange of control packets between sender and receivers. Sender proposes the target values of QoS parameters obtained from the application's requirements, and then each receiver can propose modified values based on its system and/or network capacity. Sender arbitrates the modified values proposed by receivers. Target values for QoS parameters can be used as input parameters for reservation of network resources.

b) QoS monitoring

 QoS control in ECTP is based on feedback of control packets from receivers. The feedback messages from receivers enable the sender to keep track of the number of active receivers and also to monitor the connection status for multicast data transport. QoS monitoring is designed to allow the sender to diagnose the connection status in terms of QoS parameter values, and thus to take the necessary actions for maintaining the connection status at a desired QoS level. The monitored connection status will be reported to the application at the sender side. The information conveyed could provide statistics useful for billing purposes, for example.

c) QoS maintenance

 Based on feedback information from receivers, the sender takes one or more actions so as to maintain the connection status at a desired QoS level. These QoS maintenance actions include adjustment of the data transmission rate, connection pause and resume, troublemaker ejection and connection termination operations. These QoS monitoring and maintenance functions, based on monitored parameter status, provide rate-based congestion control.

ISO/IEC 14476-2:2003 is an integral part of ITU-T draft Recommendation X.ectp | ISO/IEC 14476, which has 6 parts. All the protocol components, including packet formats and protocol procedures specified in ITU-T draft Recommendation X.606 | ISO/IEC 14476-1, are also valid in ISO/IEC 14476-2:2003.

Gas cylinders of composite construction — Specification and test methods — Part 2: Fully wrapped fibre reinforced composite gas cylinders with load-sharing metal liners

Bouteilles à gaz composites — Spécifications et méthodes d'essai — Partie 2: Bouteilles à gaz composites entièrement bobinées renforcées par des liners métalliques transmettant la charge

ISO 11119-2 specifies requirements for composite gas cylinders up to and including 450 litres water capacity, for the storage and conveyance of compressed or liquefied gases with test pressures up to and including 650 bar. The cylinders are constructed in the form of a seamless metallic liner over-wrapped with carbon fibre or aramid fibre or glass fibre (or a mixture thereof) in a resin matrix, or steel wire, to provide circumferential reinforcement.

This part of ISO 11119 refers to fully wrapped composite cylinders with a load-sharing liner (i.e. a liner that shares the load of the overall cylinder design) and a design life from 10 a to non-limited life. For cylinders with design life in excess of 15 a, and in order for these cylinders to remain in service beyond 15 a, re-qualification of these cylinders is recommended.

This part of ISO 11119 does not address the design, fitting and performance of removable protective sleeves. Where these are fitted they should be considered separately.

ISO/IEC 8824-1:2002 provides a notation called Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) for defining the syntax of information data. It defines a number of simple data types and specifies a notation for referencing these types and for specifying values of these types.

The ASN.1 notations can be applied whenever it is necessary to define the abstract syntax of information without constraining in any way how the information is encoded for transmission.


Information technology — Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1): Information object specification — Part 2:

Technologies de l'information — Notation de syntaxe abstraite numéro un (ASN.1): Spécification  des objets informationnels — Partie 2:

ISO/IEC 8824-2:2002 provides the ASN.1 notation which allows information object classes as well as individual information objects and sets thereof to be defined and given reference names. An information object class defines the form of a conceptual table (an information object set) with one column for each field in the information object class, and with each complete row defining an information object.


Information technology — Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1): Constraint specification — Part 3:

Technologies de l'information — Notation de syntaxe abstraite numéro un (ASN.1): Spécification des contraintes — Partie 3:

Technologies de l'information — Règles de codage ASN.1: Spécification des règles de codage de base (BER), des règles de codage canoniques (CER) et des règles de codage distinctives (DER) — Partie 1:

ISO/IEC 8825-1:2002 defines a set of Basic Encoding Rules (BER) that may be applied to values of types defined using the ASN.1 notation. Application of these encoding rules produces a transfer syntax for such values. It is implicit in the specification of these encoding rules that they are also used for decoding. ISO/IEC 8825-1:2002 defines also a set of Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) and a set of Canonical Encoding Rules (CER) both of which provide constraints on the Basic Encoding Rules (BER). The key difference between them is that DER uses the definite length form of encoding while CER uses the indefinite length form. DER is more suitable for the small encoded values, while CER is more suitable for the large ones. It is implicit in the specification of these encoding rules that they are also used for decoding.


Information technology — ASN.1 encoding rules: Specification of Packed Encoding Rules (PER) — Part 2:

Technologies de l'information — Règles de codage ASN.1: Spécification des règles de codage compact (PER) — Partie 2:

Software engineering — Software product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) — Planning and management

Ingénierie du logiciel — Exigences de qualité et évaluation du produit logiciel (SQuaRE) — Planification et gestion

ISO/IEC 25001:2007 provides details about the planning and management requirements associated with software product quality requirements and evaluation.

While it is mainly concerned with product quality requirements and evaluation, wherever it is relevant the corresponding process requirements and evaluation activities are also discussed.

ISO/IEC 25001:2007 aims to clarify the requirements which should be identified by the organization in order to ensure the success of specifying quality requirements and executing the evaluation.

ISO/IEC 25001:2007 is intended to be used in conjunction with the other parts of the SQuaRE series (ISO/IEC 25000-ISO/IEC 25051) of International Standards, and with ISO/IEC 14598 and ISO/IEC 9126-1 until superseded by the ISO/IEC 25000 series of International Standards.

ISO/IEC 25001:2007 complies with the technical processes identified in ISO/IEC 15288 related to quality requirements definition and analysis.


Systems and software engineering — Systems and software Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) — System and software quality models

Ingénierie des systèmes et du logiciel — Exigences de qualité et évaluation des systèmes et du logiciel (SQuaRE) — Modèles de qualité du système et du logiciel

ISO/IEC 25010:2011 defines:

A quality in use model composed of five characteristics (some of which are further subdivided into subcharacteristics) that relate to the outcome of interaction when a product is used in a particular context of use. This system model is applicable to the complete human-computer system, including both computer systems in use and software products in use.

A product quality model composed of eight characteristics (which are further subdivided into subcharacteristics) that relate to static properties of software and dynamic properties of the computer system. The model is applicable to both computer systems and software products.

The characteristics defined by both models are relevant to all software products and computer systems. The characteristics and subcharacteristics provide consistent terminology for specifying, measuring and evaluating system and software product quality. They also provide a set of quality characteristics against which stated quality requirements can be compared for completeness.

Although the scope of the product quality model is intended to be software and computer systems, many of the characteristics are also relevant to wider systems and services.

ISO/IEC 25012 contains a model for data quality that is complementary to this model.

The scope of the models excludes purely functional properties, but it does include functional suitability.

The scope of application of the quality models includes supporting specification and evaluation of software and software-intensive computer systems from different perspectives by those associated with their acquisition, requirements, development, use, evaluation, support, maintenance, quality assurance and control, and audit. The models can, for example, be used by developers, acquirers, quality assurance and control staff and independent evaluators, particularly those responsible for specifying and evaluating software product quality. Activities during product development that can benefit from the use of the quality models include:

identifying software and system requirements;

validating the comprehensiveness of a requirements definition;

identifying software and system design objectives;

identifying software and system testing objectives;

identifying quality control criteria as part of quality assurance;

identifying acceptance criteria for a software product and/or software-intensive computer system;

establishing measures of quality characteristics in support of these activities.


Information technology — Systems and software Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) — Service quality models

Technologies de l'information — Exigences de qualité et évaluation des systèmes et du logiciel (SQuaRE) — Modèle de qualité du service

ISO/IEC TS 25011:2017 is applicable to IT services that support the needs of an individual user or a business. IT services can be delivered personally or remotely by people, or by an IT application that could be in a local or remote location (see Annex A).

These include two types of IT services:

a)    services completely automated provided by an IT system;

b)    services provided by a human using an IT system.

ISO/IEC TS 25011:2017 describes the use of two quality models for IT services.

a)    ISO/IEC TS 25011:2017 defines an IT service quality model composed of eight characteristics (which are further subdivided into sub-characteristics) that relate to properties of the IT service made up from a combination of elements including people, processes, technology, facilities and information.

b)    ISO/IEC TS 25011:2017 describes how the quality in use model in ISO/IEC 25010 which is composed of five characteristics (some of them are further subdivided into sub-characteristics) can be applied to the outcome when an IT service is used in a particular context of use. This model is applicable to the complete service provision system composed of people, processes, technology, facilities and information.

The characteristics and sub-characteristics provide consistent terminologies and check lists for specifying, measuring and evaluating IT service quality.

The use of the IT service quality models can help:

-      IT service providers to identify service quality requirements, and evaluate and improve the quality of the service provided;

-      customers to specify their requirements for the quality of service, define the acceptance criteria for service, and evaluate the quality of an IT service; and

-      a third party to evaluate the quality of an IT service.


Software engineering — Software product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) — Data quality model

Ingénierie du logiciel — Exigences de qualité et évaluation du produit  logiciel (SQuaRE) — Modèle de la qualité des données

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 defines a general data quality model for data retained in a structured format within a computer system.

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 can be used to establish data quality requirements, define data quality measures, or plan and perform data quality evaluations. It could be used, for example,

to define and evaluate data quality requirements in data production, acquisition and integration processes,

to identify data quality assurance criteria, also useful for re-engineering, assessment and improvement of data,

to evaluate the compliance of data with legislation and/or requirements.

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 categorizes quality attributes into fifteen characteristics considered by two points of view: inherent and system dependent. Data quality characteristics will be of varying importance and priority to different stakeholders.

ISO/IEC 25012:2008 is intended to be used in conjunction with the other parts of the SQuaRE series of International Standards, and with ISO/IEC 9126-1 until superseded by ISO/IEC 25010.


Software engineering — Software product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) — Measurement reference model and guide

Ingénierie du logiciel — Exigences de qualité du produit logiciel et évaluation (SQuaRE) — Modèle de référence de mesure et guide

ISO/IEC 25020:2007 provides a measurement reference model and guide for measuring the quality characteristics defined in ISO/IEC 2501n, Quality Model Division. ISO/IEC 25020:2007 sets requirements for the selection and construction of quality measures. It also contains informative annexes addressing the following topics: criteria for selecting software quality measures and quality measure elements, demonstrating predictive validity and assessing measurement reliability, and an example format for documenting software quality measures.

The Quality Measurement Division, of which ISO/IEC 25020 is a member, also offers examples of quality measures that can be used across the product development life cycle. These measures are defined in the other documents in the division and correspond to the quality characteristics in a software product quality model such as that described in ISO/IEC 25010. ISO/IEC 25020:2007 and the quality measures are designed to be used, in particular, with other standards in the SQuaRE series that address quality requirements (ISO/IEC 25030) and product quality evaluation (ISO/IEC 25040).


Software engineering — Software product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) — Quality measure elements

Ingénierie du logiciel — Exigences de qualité et évaluation du produit logiciel (SQuaRE) — Éléments de mesure de la qualité

ISO/IEC TR 25021:2007 defines the set of quality measure elements to be used throughout the software product life cycle for the purpose of Software Product Quality Requirement and Evaluation (SQuaRE). While some quality measure elements can be used as standalone quality measures, their main purpose is to be the building blocks for other SQuaRE measurements as described in ISO/IEC TR 9126-2, ISO/IEC TR 9126-3 and ISO/IEC TR 9126-4. ISO/IEC TR 25021:2007 constitutes the link between ISO/IEC 9126 and the subsequent SQuaRE series of standards.

ISO/IEC TR 25021:2007 contains informative annexes documenting the cross-reference relationship between the quality measure elements and quality measures, characteristics and subcharacteristics defined in ISO/IEC 9126.

The Quality Measurement Division, of which ISO/IEC TR 25021:2007 is a member, also offers examples of quality measures that can be used across the product development life-cycle. These measures are defined in the other documents in the division and correspond to the quality characteristics in a software product quality model such as that described in the future International Standard ISO/IEC 25010 (replacing ISO/IEC 9126-1). ISO/IEC TR 25021:2007 is designed to be used, in particular, with other standards in the SQuaRE series that address quality requirements (ISO/IEC 25030) and product quality evaluation (the future International Standard ISO/IEC 25040).


Systems and software engineering — Systems and software quality requirements and evaluation (SQuaRE) — Measurement of quality in use

Ingénierie des systèmes et du logiciel — Exigences de qualité et évaluation des systèmes et du logiciel (SQuaRE) — Mesurage de la qualité lors de l'utilisation

ISO/IEC 25022:2016 defines quality in use measures for the characteristics defined in ISO/IEC 25010, and is intended to be used together with ISO/IEC 25010. It can be used in conjunction with the ISO/IEC 2503n and the ISO/IEC 2504n standards or to more generally meet user needs with regard to product or system quality.

ISO/IEC 25022:2016 contains the following:

-      a basic set of measures for each quality in use characteristic;

-      an explanation of how quality in use is measured.

It provides a suggested set of quality in use measures to be used with the quality in use model in ISO/IEC 25010. They are not intended to be an exhaustive set.

It includes as informative annexes examples of how to measure context coverage (Annex A), options for normalising quality in use measures (Annex B), use of ISO/IEC 25022 for measuring usability in ISO 9241‑11 (Annex C), a quality in use evaluation process (Annex D), the relationship between different quality models (Annex E), and quality measurement concepts (Annex F).

The measures are applicable to the use of any human-computer system, including both computer systems in use and software products that form part of the system.

It does not assign ranges of values of the measures to rated levels or to grades of compliance because these values are defined for each system or product depending, on the context of use and users' needs.

Some attributes could have a desirable range of values, which does not depend on specific user needs but depends on generic factors, for example, human cognitive factors.

The proposed quality in use measures are primarily intended to be used for quality assurance and management of systems and software products based on their effects when actually used. The main users of the measurement results are people managing development, acquisition, evaluation, or maintenance of software and systems.

The main users of ISO/IEC 25022:2016 are people carrying out specification and evaluation activities as part of the following:

-      development: including requirements analysis, design, and testing through acceptance during the life cycle process;

-      quality management: systematic examination of the product or computer system, for example, when evaluating quality in use as part of quality assurance and quality control;

-      supply: a contract with the acquirer for the supply of a system, software product, or software service under the terms of a contract, for example, when validating quality at qualification test;

-      acquisition: including product selection and acceptance testing, when acquiring or procuring a system, software product, or software service from a supplier;

-      maintenance: improvement of the product based on quality in use measures.
