Évaluation biologique des dispositifs médicaux — Partie 7: Résidus de stérilisation à l'oxyde d'éthylène — Amendement 1: titre manque


This document deals with diamond tools whose cutting edges are made of CVD diamond, either as a solid single piece or as a coating. The tool specifications are differentiated into CVD diamond-coated tools (CVD diamond thin-film coatings) and tools with a CVD diamond cutting insert.

According to ISO 513, CVD diamond tools can be classified under "hard coatings of hard metal and ceramic" and "binder-free polycrystalline diamond". In order to differentiate the CVD diamond tools from tools with monocrystalline synthetic or natural diamond (MCD or monocrystalline diamond) or with sintered diamond with a binder phase (PCD or polycrystalline diamond), the structure and characteristics of MCD and PCD tools with binder phase are also briefly described.

These requirements include:

—     design requirements;

—     test requirements.

Primary and secondary function motors (see Clause 4) are covered in this document; however, actuators with internal rotation angle limits and low-speed motors are not covered.

This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the detail specification that is particular to each application.


Hardmetals — Abrasion tests for hardmetals

Métaux-durs — Essais d’abrasion des métaux-durs

This document specifies a generic test method to determine the abrasion wear characteristics of hardmetals.

The test is appropriate for use in situations where test laboratories have a need to simulate abrasive damage. The procedure includes information which enables the test to be used in a variety of different conditions:

a)   with counterface wheels of different stiffness (for example steel and rubber);

b)   wet and dry;

c)   different abrasive sizes;

d)   different chemical environments.


Hardmetals — Sampling and testing of powders using sintered test pieces

Métaux-durs — Échantillonnage et essais des poudres au moyen d'éprouvettes frittées

Métaux-durs frittés — Échantillonnage et essais


Geotextiles and geotextile-related products — Determination of index abrasion resistance characteristics under wet conditions for hydraulic applications

Géotextiles et produits apparentés — Détermination des caractéristiques de résistance à l'abrasion d'indice dans des conditions humides pour les applications hydrauliques

This document specifies a test method for determining the abrasion resistance of geotextiles and geotextile-related products under wet conditions. This document is applicable to geotextiles and geotextile-related products intended to be used as e.g. geo bags or filter beneath armourstone.

The test method simulates abrasion impacts on geotextiles and geotextile-related products such as that caused by the movement of rocks in an embankment or transport of sediment in rivers.

This document provides an index test which can be used for performance and acceptance testing. It can be used as performance test by comparison of mechanical and/or additional hydraulic properties before and after abrasion impact.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of adhesion to textile fabrics

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de l'adhérence aux textiles

ISO 36:2017 specifies a method of test for measuring the force required to separate, by stripping, two plies of fabric bonded with rubber, or a rubber layer and a fabric ply bonded together.

The method is applicable when the ply surfaces are approximately plane or when they are in the form of a cylinder having an internal diameter greater than approximately 50 mm. The method is not applicable when the ply surfaces contain sharp bends, angles or other gross irregularities which cannot be excluded when cutting out test pieces.

ISO 36:2017 does not apply to coated fabrics, which are tested in accordance with ISO 2411, or textile conveyor belts, which are tested in accordance with ISO 252.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of low-temperature brittleness

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de la fragilité à basse température

ISO 812:2017 specifies a method for determining the lowest temperature at which rubber materials do not exhibit brittle failure or the temperature at which half of the test pieces used in a test fail when impacted under specified conditions.

The temperatures thus determined do not necessarily relate to the lowest temperature at which the material can be used since the brittleness will be affected by the conditions of test and especially by the rate of impact. Data obtained by this method are, therefore, intended to be used to predict the behaviour of rubbers at low temperatures only in applications in which the conditions of deformation are similar to those specified in the test.

Three procedures are described:

-      procedure A, in which the brittleness temperature is determined;

-      procedure B, in which the brittleness temperature for 50 % failure is determined;

-      procedure C, in which the test piece is impacted at a specified temperature.

Procedure C is used in the classification of rubber materials and for specification purposes.

NOTE       A similar test for rubber-coated fabrics is described in ISO 4646.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of adhesion to metal — Two-plate method

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de l'adhérence au métal — Méthode à deux plaques

ISO 814:2017 specifies a method for determining the adhesion strength of rubber-to-metal bonds where the rubber part is assembled between two parallel metal plates, using the adhesive system under investigation.

The method is applicable primarily to test pieces, prepared in the laboratory under standard conditions, such as can be used to provide data for the development of rubber compounds and control of methods of manufacture.


Conducting and dissipative rubbers, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Measurement of resistivity

Caoutchoucs vulcanisés ou thermoplastiques conducteurs et dissipatifs — Mesurage de la résistivité

This document specifies the requirements for the laboratory testing of the volume resistivity of specially prepared test pieces of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber compounds rendered conducting or dissipative by the inclusion of carbon black or ionizable materials. The tests are suitable for materials with a resistivity of less than about 108 Ω⋅m.

Method 1 is the preferred method when test pieces with bonded electrodes are not available.

Method 2 is the preferred method when test pieces are moulded with the inclusion of bonded electrodes.

Method 3 is another method that can be used if the apparatus for method 1 or 2 is not available, but it has lower accuracy.

If a reference to this document is made without specifying the method, method 1 is used.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of density

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de la masse volumique

This document specifies two methods of test for the determination of the density of solid vulcanized and thermoplastic rubbers.

Such determinations are of importance in the control of the quality of a rubber compound and in the calculation of the mass of rubber required to produce a given volume of material.

This document does not cover the determination of the relative density of rubber, which is the ratio of the mass of a given volume of rubber to the mass of an equal volume of pure water at a given temperature.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Antistatic and conductive products — Determination of electrical resistance

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Produits antistatiques et conducteurs — Détermination de la résistance électrique

ISO 2878:2017 specifies a method of test to determine the electrical resistance of antistatic and conductive products manufactured wholly or in part from rubber whose electrical resistance measured between defined points, when new, does not exceed 3 × 108 Ω and whose conductivity is derived from the addition of carbon black and/or other appropriate substances to the bulk of the material.

NOTE       Highly conductive mixes cannot be made in this way.

ISO 2878:2017 specifies the electrode configuration for basic geometries, but it is intended that reference be made to relevant product specifications for requirements for specific products.

It does not apply to:

a)    products the relevant surfaces of which are composed of mixtures of insulating and conductive areas;

b)    products with a substantial surface area of insulating material, except for footwear (which does not normally have a conductive or antistatic upper).


Rubber, vulcanized — Determination of low-temperature characteristics — Temperature-retraction procedure (TR test)

Caoutchouc vulcanisé — Détermination des caractéristiques à basse température — Méthode température-retrait (essai TR)

This document specifies a method for the determination of the temperature-retraction characteristics of stretched vulcanized rubber.

This document does not cover thermoplastic rubbers, as many thermoplastic elastomers have a yield point in the range of 5 % to 20 % elongation.


Rubber — Determination of adhesion to rigid materials using conical shaped parts

Caoutchouc — Détermination de l'adhérence aux matériaux rigides au moyen de pièces coniques

ISO 5600:2017 specifies a method for the determination of the static vulcanized adhesion strength of rubber compounds to rigid materials. The test piece is composed of two conical ends of the rigid material, joined by a cylinder of rubber.

The adhesion is obtained by a bonding system which can include not only the rigid material and the rubber compound, but other elements such as thin alloy coatings or chemical treatments of rigid parts and either a single cement or both primer and cover cements. The bonding system for preparing the test pieces should be adequately specified by the user, but provision is made in this document for the evaluation of different types of failure related to a complex bonding system.

The method is designed primarily for test pieces prepared in the laboratory under standard conditions in order to provide data for development and control of bonding systems and their components, such as cements or special rubber compounds, and of methods of manufacture. While intended to be applied where the rubber is bonded to rigid supporting pieces, it might not cover such cases where the support, although of high-modulus material, has a low rigidity due to small transverse dimensions, as in the case of rubber bonded to metal wires, cords or thin sheets.


Rubber, vulcanized — Determination of adhesion to wire cord

Caoutchouc vulcanisé — Détermination de l'adhérence à un câble métallique

ISO 5603:2017 specifies two methods for determining the adhesion strength of vulcanized rubber to wire cord which is embedded in the rubber.

The two methods do not necessarily give the same results.

They are applicable primarily to test pieces prepared in the laboratory under standard conditions and used for the development and control of materials and processes utilized in the manufacture of products reinforced with wire cord.

NOTE       The methods can also be used for single wire, for example bead wire.

Method 1 reduces the dependence of the measured adhesion on the modulus and strength properties of the rubber.


Rubber-covered rollers — Determination of apparent hardness — Part 1: IRHD method

Cylindres revêtus de caoutchouc — Détermination de la dureté apparente — Partie 1: Méthode DIDC

ISO 7267-1:2017 specifies a method for the determination of the apparent hardness, expressed in International Rubber Hardness Degrees (IRHD), of vulcanized- or thermoplastic-rubber roller covers. The method is similar in principle to the methods used for the determination of the hardness of rubber in ISO 48 in that it consists essentially of measuring the depth of penetration of a spherical indentor operating under a specified force. The apparatus used is similar to that described in ISO 48, having a base specifically designed for application to roller covers and similar curved surfaces.

NOTE          With some rollers, there can be significant variation in the thickness of the rubber over the surface of the roller, which could affect the measured apparent hardness.


Rubber-covered rollers — Determination of apparent hardness — Part 3: Pusey and Jones method

Cylindres revêtus de caoutchouc — Détermination de la dureté apparente — Partie 3: Méthode Pusey et Jones

ISO 7267-3:2017 specifies a method for the determination of the apparent hardness of vulcanized- or thermoplastic-rubber roller covers, expressed as the Pusey and Jones indentation value.

The Pusey and Jones plastometer apparatus is used to measure the depth of indentation of an indentor under a specified force into the surface of the rubber. The indentation value should not be confused with hardness as measured by the international rubber hardness test method ISO 48,[1] since in this method the rubber immediately adjacent to the indentor is precompressed. The Pusey and Jones indentation value is an inverse measurement of hardness, i.e. the harder the rubber the lower the Pusey and Jones indentation value.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of compression stress-strain properties

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination des propriétés de contrainte/déformation en compression

ISO 7743:2017 specifies methods for the determination of the compression stress-strain properties of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using a standard test piece, a product or a part of a product.

Four procedures are given:

-      using standard test piece A with the metal plates lubricated (method A);

-      using standard test piece A with the metal plates bonded to the test piece (method B);

-      using standard test piece B (method C);

-      using a product or a part of a product with the metal plates lubricated (method D).

The methods are not suitable for materials that exhibit high set.


Rubber, vulcanized — Determination of stress in tension upon heating

Caoutchouc vulcanisé — Détermination de la contrainte en traction lors du chauffage

ISO 12493:2017 specifies a method for measuring the stress in tension which is developed in vulcanized rubber when it is heated (thermal stress). The thermal stress is measured for various pre-strain and temperature conditions as a function of time.

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de la résistivité transversale et/ou superficielle

This document specifies a method for the determination of the volume and the surface resistivity of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubbers. The method can be applied to materials with a resistivity from 101 Ω⋅m to 1017 Ω⋅m.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of stress relaxation in compression — Part 1: Testing at constant temperature

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de la relaxation de contrainte en compression — Partie 1: Essais à température constante

This document specifies two procedures for determining the decrease in counterforce exerted by a test piece of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber which has been compressed to a constant deformation and maintained thus at a predetermined test temperature.

The counterforce can be determined either by means of a continuous-measurement system or by a discontinuous-measurement one.

Two test methods are specified, method A and method B. In method A the compression and all measurements of counterforce are made at test temperature and in method B the compression and all measurements of counterforce are made at standard laboratory temperature.

Method A and method B do not give the same results, as in method B the shrinkage of the material from the test temperature to standard laboratory temperature is included in the result.

Two forms of test piece are specified in this document: cylindrical test pieces and rings. Comparison of results is valid only when made on test pieces of similar size and shape.

The use of ring test pieces is particularly suitable for the determination of stress relaxation in liquid environments.

This document deals only with testing at constant ambient or elevated temperature. Testing at temperatures below standard laboratory temperature is not specified. The methods have been used for low‑temperature testing, but their reliability under these conditions is not proven.


Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of flex cracking and crack growth (De Mattia)

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de la résistance au développement d'une craquelure (De Mattia)

ISO 132:2017 specifies a method of test intended for use in comparing the resistance of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubbers to the formation and growth of cracks, when subjected to repeated flexing on the De Mattia type machine. For determination of crack growth, an artificial cut is made in the test piece to initiate cut growth.


Rubber, vulcanized — Determination of temperature rise and resistance to fatigue in flexometer testing — Part 4: Constant-stress flexometer

Caoutchouc vulcanisé — Détermination de l'élévation de température et de la résistance à la fatigue dans les essais aux flexomètres — Partie 4: Flexomètre à contrainte constante

This document specifies a constant-stress flexometer test for the determination of the temperature rise and resistance to fatigue of vulcanized rubbers.

Many rubber products, such as tyres and belts, are tested by subjecting them to an oscillating load with a constant peak stress amplitude. In order to obtain good correlation between accelerated tests and in-service exposure of these products, this document gives instructions for carrying out measurements under such conditions.

This method is not applicable for rubber having a hardness greater than 85 IRHD.


Rubber, vulcanized — Determination of tension fatigue

Caoutchouc vulcanisé — Détermination de la fatigue en traction

ISO 6943:2017 specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of vulcanized rubbers to fatigue under repeated tensile deformations, the test piece size and frequency of cycling being such that there is little or no temperature rise. Under these conditions, failure results from the growth of a crack that ultimately severs the test piece.

The method is restricted to repeated deformations in which the test piece is relaxed to zero strain for part of each cycle. Analogous fatigue processes can occur under repeated deformations which do not pass through zero strain and also, in certain rubbers, under static deformation, but this document does not apply to these conditions.

The method is believed to be suitable for rubbers that have reasonably stable stress-strain properties, at least after a period of cycling, and that do not show undue stress softening or set, or highly viscous behaviour. Materials that do not meet these criteria might present considerable difficulties from the points of view of both experiment and interpretation. For example, for a rubber that develops a large amount of set during the fatigue test, the test strain will be ill-defined and the fatigue life is likely to differ markedly under constant maximum load and constant maximum extension conditions; how the results for such a rubber should be interpreted or compared with those for other rubbers, has not been established by basic work. As a general guide, a rubber for which the set determined in accordance with 9.5 and 10.2 exceeds 10 % is likely to fall into this category. For this reason, the method is not considered suitable for most thermoplastic elastomers.

Similar considerations apply with regard to other changes in elasticity behaviour during testing.

This fatigue test is distinct from the flexometer tests described in the various parts of ISO 4666, where fatigue breakdown occurs under the simultaneous action of stress and temperature.

Advantages over the De Mattia flex cracking and cut growth test (see ISO 132) include the following:

-      the test yields quantitative results which do not depend on operator interpretation and which can be recorded automatically;

-      the initial deformation is clearly defined and can readily be varied to suit different applications.

Great caution is necessary in attempting to relate standard test results to service performance since the comparative fatigue resistance of different vulcanizates can vary according to the test conditions used and to the basis by which the results are compared. Guidance on the selection of test conditions and on the interpretation of results is given in Annex A.

This document specifies an atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the zinc content of rubbers.

The method is applicable to raw rubber and rubber products having zinc contents at a minimum of 0,05 % (mass fraction). Zinc contents below this limit can be determined, provided that suitable adjustments are made to the mass of the test portion and/or to the concentrations of the solutions used. The use of the standard additions method might lower the bottom limit of detection.

This International Standard specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization:

a)    needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and

b)    aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

All the requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides.

NOTE 1   In this International Standard, the terms "product" or "service" only apply to products and services intended for, or required by, a customer.

NOTE 2   Statutory and regulatory requirements can be expressed as legal requirements.

This document gives guidelines for local governments on understanding and implementing a quality management system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, in order to meet the needs and expectations of their customers/citizens and all other relevant interested parties by consistently providing them with products and services.

It promotes implementing a quality management system in a responsible and accountable manner, through the application of ISO 9001 on a comprehensive basis. These guidelines do not add, change or modify the requirements of ISO 9001.

Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys — Measurement of specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodic oxidation coatings at angles of 20 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees or 85 degrees

Anodisation de l'aluminium et de ses alliages — Mesurage des caractéristiques de réflectivité et de brillant spéculaires des couches anodiques à angle fixe de 20 degrés, 45 degrés, 60 degrés ou 85 degrés

ISO 7668:2018 specifies methods for the measurement of specular reflectance and specular gloss of flat samples of anodized aluminium using geometries of 20° (Method A), 45° (Method B), 60° (Method C) and 85° (Method D); and of specular reflectance by an additional 45° method (Method E) employing a narrow acceptance angle.

The methods described are intended mainly for use with clear anodized surfaces. They can be used with colour-anodized aluminium, but only with similar colours.


Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys — Determination of mass per unit area (surface density) of anodic oxidation coatings — Gravimetric method

Anodisation de l'aluminium et de ses alliages — Détermination de la masse surfacique (masse par unité de superficie) des couches d’oxydation anodique — Méthode gravimétrique

This document specifies a gravimetric method for determining the mass per unit area (surface density) of anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys.

The method is applicable to all oxidation coatings formed by anodizing aluminium and its alloys, either cast or wrought, and is suitable for most aluminium alloys, except those in which the mass fraction of copper is greater than 6 %.

NOTE 1  A high content of copper in the alloy can lead to increased dissolution of the substrate aluminium.

NOTE 2  If the thickness is known with sufficient precision (for example, using the method specified in ISO 2128), the determination of the mass per unit area (surface density) of the coatings will enable its apparent density to be calculated. Conversely, if the conditions of application of the coating and its density are known, the determination of its mass per unit area (surface density) can permit the calculation of the average mass and an approximate evaluation of the thickness (see Clause 9).


Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys  — Measurement of abrasion resistance of anodic oxidation coatings

Anodisation de l'aluminium et de ses alliages — Détermination de la résistance à l'abrasion des couches d'oxyde anodiques

Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys  — Rating system for the evaluation of pitting corrosion — Grid method

Anodisation de l'aluminium et de ses alliages — Système de cotation de la corrosion par piqûres — Méthode par quadrillage

This document specifies a grid rating system that provides a means of defining levels of performance of anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys that have been subjected to corrosion tests.

This rating system is applicable to pitting corrosion resulting from

—          accelerated tests,

—          exposure to corrosive environments, and

—          practical service tests.

This document takes into account only pitting corrosion of the basis metal resulting from penetration of the protective anodic oxidation coating.

NOTE 1    ISO 8993[1] describes a similar rating system based on defined chart scales.

NOTE 2    The grid rating system is frequently used for rating the results of short-term corrosion tests for relatively thin anodic oxidation coating, such as those used in the automotive industry.

Adhesives — Wood-to-wood adhesive bonds — Determination of shear strength by tensile loading

Adhésifs — Joints collés de bois à bois — Détermination de la résistance au cisaillement par effort de traction

ISO 6237:2017 specifies a method for determining the shear strength of wood-to-wood adhesive bonds, with a standard specimen loaded in tension and under specified conditions of preparation, conditioning and testing. This method is intended for testing only those adhesives used in bonding wood to wood in either parallel-laminated or cross-laminated construction.

This method is not intended for use in testing manufactured products.


This document specifies dimensional requirements relating to test specimens prepared from plastics materials intended for processing by moulding, as well as to test specimens prepared by machining from sheets or shaped articles. It compiles the designations and dimensions of test specimens used for the acquisition of comparable data and also of other frequently used specimens.

The following types of test specimen are specified:

a)    Type A1 and type A2 specimens (1 = injection moulded, 2 = machined from a sheet or shaped article)

These are tensile test specimens from which, with simple machining, specimens for a variety of other tests can be taken (see Annex A).

The type A1 specimen is a multipurpose test specimen. The principal advantage of a multipurpose test specimen is that it allows all the test methods mentioned in Annex A to be carried out by all test laboratories on the basis of comparable mouldings. Consequently, the properties measured are coherent as all are measured using similar specimens prepared in the same way. In other words, it can be expected that test results for a given set of specimens will not vary appreciably due to unintentionally different moulding conditions. On the other hand, if desired, the influence of moulding conditions and/or different states of the specimens can be assessed without difficulty for all of the properties measured.

Also described are reduced-scale test specimens designated type Axy, where x is the number indicating the method of specimen preparation (1 = injection moulded, 2 = machined from a sheet or shaped article) and y is a number indicating the scale factor (1:y). These can be used e.g. when full-sized test specimens are not convenient or when sample material exists in small quantities only.

b)    Type B specimens

These are bar specimens which can be directly moulded or can be machined from the central section of type A1 specimens or from sheets or shaped articles.

c)    Type C specimens

These are small tensile test specimens which can be directly moulded or machined, e.g. from plates (Type D or type F specimens), from the central section of type A1 specimens or from sheets or shaped articles.

d)    Type D1 and type D2 specimens

These are square plates of thickness 1 mm and 2 mm, respectively.

e)    Type F specimens

These are rectangular plates intended for use in the analysis of mechanical anisotropy.

If a particular type of test specimen is not mentioned in this document, this does not mean that there is any intention to exclude the use of the specimen. Additional specimen types can be added in future if they are commonly used.


Plastics — Determination of creep behaviour — Part 1: Tensile creep

Plastiques — Détermination du comportement au fluage — Partie 1: Fluage en traction

ISO 899-1 specifies a method for determining the tensile creep of plastics in the form of standard test specimens under specified conditions such as those of pretreatment, temperature and humidity.

The method is suitable for use with rigid and semi-rigid non-reinforced, filled and fibre-reinforced plastics materials in the form of dumb-bell-shaped test specimens moulded directly or machined from sheets or moulded articles.

The method is intended to provide data for engineering-design and research and development purposes. Data for engineering-design purposes requires the use of extensometers to measure the gauge length of the specimen. Data for research or quality-control purposes may use the change in distance between the grips (nominal extension).

Tensile creep can vary significantly with differences in specimen preparation and dimensions and in the test environment. The thermal history of the test specimen can also have profound effects on its creep behaviour (see Annex A). Consequently, when precise comparative results are required, these factors are intended to be carefully controlled.

If tensile-creep properties are used for engineering-design purposes, the plastics materials are intended to be tested over a broad range of stresses, times and environmental conditions.


Plastics — Determination of Izod impact strength

Plastiques — Détermination de la résistance au choc Izod

1.1  This document specifies a method for determining the Izod impact strength of plastics under defined conditions. A number of different types of specimen and test configurations are defined. Different test parameters are specified according to the type of material, the type of test specimen and the type of notch.

1.2  The method is used to investigate the behaviour of specified types of specimen under the impact conditions defined and for estimating the brittleness or toughness of specimens within the limitations inherent in the test conditions.

1.3  The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials:

—     rigid thermoplastic moulding and extrusion materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to unfilled types; rigid thermoplastics sheets;

—     rigid thermosetting moulding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds; rigid thermosetting sheets, including laminates;

—     fibre-reinforced thermosetting and thermoplastic composites incorporating unidirectional or non-unidirectional reinforcements such as mat, woven fabrics, woven rovings, chopped strands, combination and hybrid reinforcements, rovings and milled fibres and sheet made from pre-impregnated materials (prepregs);

—     thermotropic liquid-crystal polymers.

1.4  The method is not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials and sandwich structures containing cellular material. Notched specimens are also not normally used for long-fibre-reinforced composites or thermotropic liquid-crystal polymers.

1.5  The method is suited to the use of specimens which can be either moulded to the chosen dimensions, machined from the central portion of a standard multipurpose test specimen (see ISO 20753) or machined from finished or semi-finished products such as mouldings, laminates and extruded or cast sheet.

1.6  The method specifies preferred dimensions for the test specimen. Tests which are carried out on specimens of different dimensions or with different notches, or specimens which are prepared under different conditions, may produce results which are not comparable. Other factors, such as the energy capacity of the apparatus, its impact velocity and the conditioning of the specimens can also influence the results. Consequently, when comparative data are required, these factors are to be carefully controlled and recorded.

1.7  The method is not intended to be used as a source of data for design calculations. Information on the typical behaviour of a material can be obtained, however, by testing at different temperatures, by varying the notch radius and/or the thickness and by testing specimens prepared under different conditions.

Milk and milk products — Determination of the sugar contents — High performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection method (HPAEC-PAD)

Lait et produits laitiers — Détermination de la teneur en sucre — Chromatographie d’échange d’anions haute performance couplée à la détection par ampérométrie pulsée (HPAEC-PAD)

This document specifies the quantitative liquid chromatographic determination of specific sugars (galactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose and maltose) in various milk and milk products, applying arabinose as an internal standard.

The method is applicable to the following dairy matrices: milk, sweetened condensed milk, milk powder, cheese, whey powder, infant formula, milk dessert and yoghurt.

The method does not apply to dairy products containing soy or to the determination of the lactose content in low-lactose milk products at levels below 1 mg/g.

A high performance anion exchange chromatography method in combination with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) method is applied[5][3][4]. With this method, thirteen different monosaccharides, disaccharides and trisaccharides can be separated: fucose, arabinose, galactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, lactulose, maltose, melibiose, trehalose, isomaltulose and maltotriose.

The method is applicable to labelling for the six most important sugars that can be present by nature or by addition in milk and milk products. The method does not apply to sugar contents less than 0,1 %.


Paints and varnishes — Determination of volatile organic compounds(VOC) and/or semi volatile organic compounds (SVOC) content — Part 2: Gas-chromatographic method

Peintures et vernis — Détermination de la teneur en composés organiques volatils (COV) et/ou composés organiques semi-volatils (COSV) — Partie 2: Méthode par chromatographie en phase gazeuse

This document is applicable for the determination of VOC and SVOC with an expected VOC and/or SVOC content greater than 0,01 % by mass up to 100 % by mass.

The method given in ISO 11890-1 is used when the VOC is greater than 15 % by mass. This document (method ISO 11890-2) applies when the system contains VOC and SVOC as the VOC result of ISO 11890-1 can be influenced by the SVOC. For VOC content smaller than 0,1 %, the head space method described in ISO 17895 is used as an alternative. ISO 11890-1 and ISO 17895 cannot be used for the determination of the SVOC content.

NOTE 1  Some ingredients of coating materials and their raw materials can decompose during analysis and cause artificial VOC and/or SVOC signals. When determining VOC and/or SVOC for coating materials and their raw materials, these signals are artefacts of the method and are not taken into account (examples are given in Annex B).

This method assumes that the volatile matter is either water or organic. However, other volatile inorganic compounds can be present and might need to be quantified by another suitable method and allowed for in the calculations. The method defined in this document is not applicable for determination of water content.

NOTE 2  If organic acids or bases and their corresponding salts are present in the coating material or its raw materials, the amount that is quantified by this method might not be accurate due to a change in the acid or base equilibrium.

Rubber and plastics hoses and tubing — Measurement of flexibility and stiffness — Part 1: Bending tests at ambient temperature

Tuyaux et tubes en caoutchouc et en plastique — Mesurage de la flexibilité et de la rigidité — Partie 1: Essais de courbure à température ambiante

ISO 10619-1:2017 specifies three methods for measuring the flexibility of rubber and plastics hoses and tubing (methods A1, B and C1), where the deformation of the hose or tubing is measured, and two methods for measuring the stiffness (methods A2 and C2) by measuring the force required to bend rubber or plastics hoses or tubing to a specific radius at ambient temperature.

Methods A1 and A2 are suitable for rubber and plastics hoses and tubing with inside diameter of up to and including 80 mm.

Method A1 allows the measurement of the flexibility of the hose or tubing by measuring the reduction in outside diameter when the hose is compressed between two plates.

Method A2 provides a means of measuring the force required to reach a specific bend radius when the hose or tubing is compressed, as between two plates. The test can be carried out at a specified internal pressure.

Method B is suitable for rubber and plastics hoses and tubing with inside diameter of up to and including 100 mm, and provides a means of assessing the behaviour of the hose and tubing when bent around a mandrel. The final mandrel diameter used can be taken as the minimum bend radius of the hose or tubing. As this value is determined by the reduction of the outside diameter, it can be used as a measure of the flexibility of the hose or tubing. The hose or tubing being tested can be unpressurized, pressurized or under vacuum and, if required, with the curvature or against the curvature of the hose or tubing, if such curvature is present.

Methods C1 and C2 are suitable for rubber and plastics hoses and tubing with inside diameter of 100 mm and greater.

Method C1 provides a means of determining the flexibility of the hose and tubing at the minimum bend radius.

Method C2 provides a method of measuring the stiffness of the hose and tubing at the minimum bend radius.

1.1  Fields of application
This document provides management and engineering guidance within the Intermediate profile for the Business Management, Project Management, System Definition and Realisation and Acquisition Management processes.

This document is applicable to Very Small Entities (VSEs). VSEs are enterprises, organisations, departments or projects having up to 25 people. The lifecycle processes described in the ISO/IEC 29110 series are not intended to preclude or discourage their use by organisations bigger than VSEs.

This document has been developed using the management and engineering guide from the systems engineering Basic profile. Elements were added or modified (e.g. process, task, work product, role) to support VSEs involved in the development of more than one project in parallel with more than one work team.

This guide is oriented towards the management of more than one project in parallel with more than one work team.

This document applies for the development of non-critical systems.

Using this document, a VSE can obtain benefits in the following aspects:

—     An agreed set of project requirements (technical part of contract) and expected work products are agreed by the Acquirer.

—     A disciplined management process, that provides project visibility and corrective actions of project problems and deviations, is performed.

—     A systematic System Definition and Realisation process, that satisfies Acquirer needs and helps ensure quality work products, is followed.

Once the system, developed by a VSE, has been accepted by their customers, the VSE that wants to provide after delivery services can refer to ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-3.

In the context of systems engineering, that is the System Definition and Realisation (SR) process, the group that is part of the VSE responsible for developing software elements that are part of the system are encouraged to use the management and engineering guide of the software engineering Intermediate profile (ISO/IEC TR 29110-5-1-3).

1.2  Target audience
This document is targeted at VSEs that do not develop critical systems and have little or no experience with systems engineering (SE) process planning and implementation using ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288.

This document is also targeted to VSEs which are familiar with management and engineering guide of the systems engineering Basic profile (ISO/IEC TR 29110 5-6-2) for their system development projects and are involved in the development of more than one project in parallel with more than one work team.
