Fire-resistance tests — Elements of building construction — Part 13: Requirements for the testing and assessment of applied fire protection to steel beams with web openings

Essais de résistance au feu — Éléments de construction — Partie 13: Exigences pour les essais et l'évaluation de la protection contre l'incendie appliquée aux poutres en acier avec ouvertures dans l'âme

This document specifies a test and assessment method for determining the contribution made by fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural steel beams, I and H sections, in the horizontal plane containing openings in the web which may affect the structural performance of the beam. It is applicable to beams subjected to three or four sided fire exposure.

For any cellular beam with a single web opening or where the web openings are considered to be of small diameter in relation to the web depth the applicability of this document is intended to be determined by a structural engineer

This document adopts the principle of establishing ratios of temperatures between and around openings in the web of a beam with the temperatures of a solid portion of that beam. This is with the intention that these data can be utilised within a structural model to derive the value and location of the associated limiting temperature of the beam at the fire limit state. The limiting temperature is then used in conjunction with data for the fire protection material determined from ISO 834-10 and ISO 834-11 to determine the necessary thickness of fire protection material for beams with web openings.

This document applies to fire protection materials that have already been tested and assessed in accordance with ISO 834-10 and ISO 834-11 and is not intended to be used in isolation. It covers fire protection systems that include both passive and reactive materials which follow the section profile as defined in this document.

This document includes the use of a multi-temperature analysis (MTA) derived from ISO 834-11 as the basis for determining the thickness of fire protection for beams with web openings.

This document contains an assessment method, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data should be made and gives guidance on the procedures that could be undertaken.

The assessment procedure can be used to establish:

a)    The thermal response of the fire protection system on cellular beams, (the thermal performance) on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing unloaded steel sections.

b)    The temperature ratio between the web post and the web reference temperature, which will vary depending on the web post width.

c)    The temperature ratio between points around the web openings and the web reference area.

d)    A structural model that can be used to derive limiting temperatures for cellular beams.

If spectral data are not available, the methodology can be adapted to use integrated data.


Forestry machines — Portable chain-saws — Test method for evaluating saw chain oil lubricity

Machines forestières — Tronçonneuses portables — Méthode d'essai pour l'évaluation de la lubrication à l'huile de la chaîne de la scie

ISO/TS 19858:2015 defines test procedures for classifying the lubrication ability of saw chain lubrication oils when using guide bar and saw chain.

These test procedures create a reproducible replication of the stress conditions experienced by the saw chain and guide bar during sawing. The test shows the capacity of the lubricant for reducing the wear between friction partners.

This enables the manufacturers of chain saws to include specifications for recommended saw chain lubrication oils in the owner's manual.

The test rig is based on a design produced by the Swedish test commission Svensk Maskinprovning (SMP). The test procedures also take into account the long-term practical experience of the Kuratorium für Waldarbeit und Forsttechnik e.V (KWF) in testing bio-degradable chain lubrication oils.


Optics and photonics — Environmental test methods — Part 4: Salt mist

Optique et photonique — Méthodes d'essais d'environnement — Partie 4: Brouillard salin

ISO 9022-4:2014 specifies the methods relating to the environmental tests of optical instruments including additional assemblies from other fields (e.g. mechanical, chemical, and electronic devices), under equivalent conditions, for their ability to resist the influence of salt mist.

Exposure to salt mist mainly results in the corrosion of metals. Effects might also occur by way of clogging or binding of moving parts.

The purpose of the testing is to assess, as early as possible, the ability of the instrument, and particularly of the surfaces and protective coatings of the instrument, to resist the effects of a salt atmosphere.

Normally, representative samples or complete small units are used for testing. Complete large instruments or assemblies are only tested as specified in this part of ISO 9022 in exceptional cases.

Information technology — Trusted platform module library — Part 1: Architecture

Technologies de l'information — Bibliothèque de module de plate-forme de confiance — Partie 1: Architecture

ISO/IEC 11889-1:2015 defines the architectural elements of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a device which enables trust in computing platforms in general.  Some TPM concepts are explained adequately in the context of the TPM itself.  Other TPM concepts are explained in the context of how a TPM helps establish trust in a computing platform. When describing how a TPM helps establish trust in a computing platform, ISO/IEC 11889-1:2015 provides some guidance for platform requirements. However, the scope of ISO/IEC 11889 is limited to TPM requirements.

ISO/IEC 11889-1:2015 illustrates TPM security and privacy techniques in the context of a platform through the use of cryptography. It includes definitions of how different cryptographic techniques are implemented by a TPM. The scope of ISO/IEC 11889 does not include cryptographic analysis or guidance about the applicability of different algorithms for specific uses cases.

TPM requirements in ISO/IEC 11889-1:2015 are general, covering concepts like integrity protection, isolation and confidentially.  Defining a specific strength of function or assurance level is out of scope for ISO/IEC 11889. This approach limits the guarantees provided by ISO/IEC 11889 itself, but it does allow the TPM architectural elements defined to be adapted to meet diverse implementation and platform specific needs.


Information technology — Trusted Platform Module Library — Part 2: Structures

Technologies de l'information — Bibliothèque de module de plate-forme de confiance — Partie 2: Structures

ISO/IEC 11889-2:2015 contains the definitions of the constants, flags, structure, and union definitions used to communicate with the TPM. Values defined in ISO/IEC 11889-2:2015 are used by the TPM commands defined in ISO/IEC 11899-3 and by the functions in ISO/IEC 11889-4.


Information technology — Trusted Platform Module Library — Part 3: Commands

Technologies de l'information — Bibliothèque de module de plate-forme de confiance — Partie 3: Commandes

ISO/IEC 11889 contains the definitions of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) commands. These commands make use of the constants, flags, structures, and union definitions defined in ISO/IEC 11889-2.

The detailed description of the operation of the commands is written in the C language with extensive comments. The behavior of the C code in this ISO/IEC 11889-3:2015 is normative but does not fully describe the behavior of a TPM. The combination of this ISO/IEC 11889-3:2015 and ISO/IEC 11889-4 is sufficient to fully describe the required behavior of a TPM.

ISO/IEC 11889-3:2015 and ISO/IEC 11889-4 is written to define the behavior of a compliant TPM. In some cases it is not possible to provide a compliant implementation. In those cases, any implementation provided by the vendor that meets the general description of the function provided in this part of ISO/IEC 11889 would be compliant.


Information technology — Trusted Platform Module Library — Part 4: Supporting Routines

Technologies de l'information — Bibliothèque de module de plate-forme de confiance — Partie 4: Routines de support

ISO/IEC 11889-4:2015 contains C code that describes the algorithms and methods used by the command code in ISO/IEC 11889-3. The code in ISO/IEC 11889-4:2015 augments ISO/IEC 11889-2 and ISO/IEC 11889-3 to provide a complete description of a TPM, including the supporting framework for the code that performs the command actions.

Any code in ISO/IEC 11889-4:2015 may be replaced by code that provides similar results when interfacing to the action code in ISO/IEC 11889-3. The behavior of code in this ISO/IEC 11889-4:2015 that is not included in an annex is normative, as observed at the interfaces with ISO/IEC 11889-3 code. Code in an annex is provided for completeness, that is, to allow a full implementation of ISO/IEC 11889 from the provided code.

The code in ISO/IEC 11889-3 and this ISO/IEC 11889-4:2015 is written to define the behavior of a compliant TPM. In some cases (e.g., firmware update), it is not possible to provide a compliant implementation. In those cases, any implementation provided by the vendor that meets the general description of the function provided in ISO/IEC 11889-3 would be compliant.

The code in ISO/IEC 11889-3 and this ISO/IEC 11889-4:2015 is not written to meet any particular level of conformance nor does ISO/IEC 11889 require that a TPM meet any particular level of conformance.

ISO 8254-3:2016 specifies a method for measuring the specular gloss of paper and board at an angle of 20° to the normal to the paper surface. It is applicable chiefly to highly glossy surfaces, such as cast-coated, lacquered, highly varnished or waxed papers and high-gloss ink films.

NOTE          This part of ISO 8254 has been developed from TAPPI T653[2], ISO 2813[1] and from ISO 8254‑1.


ISO 302:2015 specifies a method for the determination of the Kappa number of pulp. The Kappa number is an indication of the lignin content or bleachability of pulp.

ISO 302:2015 is applicable to all kinds of chemical pulps and semi-chemical pulps within the Kappa number range 1 to 100. For pulps with a Kappa number exceeding 100, use the chlorine-consumption procedure (ISO 3260) to describe the degree of delignification.

To achieve the greatest precision and accuracy, the sample size has to be adjusted so that the consumption of permanganate falls between 20 % and 60 % of the amount added.

NOTE          There is no general and unambiguous relationship between the Kappa number and the lignin content of pulp. The relationship varies according to the wood species and delignification procedure. All compounds oxidized by KMnO4, not only lignin, will increase the consumption of KMnO4, and thereby increase the Kappa number.[8] If the Kappa number is to be used to derive an index of pulp lignin content, specific relationships will have to be developed for each pulp type.


Pulps — Determination of alkali resistance

Pâtes — Détermination de la résistance aux solutions d'hydroxyde de sodium

ISO 699:2015 specifies a method for the determination of the alkali-insoluble fraction of pulps using sodium hydroxide solution of fixed concentration. The sodium hydroxide concentrations most frequently used are 18, 10, and 5 % (m/m).

The method is applicable to all kinds of pulp.


Pulps — Determination of chlorine consumption (Degree of delignification)

Pâtes — Détermination de la consommation en chlore (Degré de délignification)

ISO 3260:2015 specifies a method for the determination of the degree of delignification of pulp by measuring its chlorine consumption.

This method is applicable to all kinds of pulp.


Paper, board and pulps — Determination of residue (ash) on ignition at 900 degrees C

Papiers, cartons et pâtes — Détermination du résidu (cendres) après incinération à 900 degrés C

ISO 2144:2015 describes the determination of the residue on ignition of pulps, papers, and boards. The International Standard is applicable to all types of pulp, paper, and board. The lower limit of the determination is about 0,2 %.

NOTE          The procedure (Clause 7) requires that at least 10 mg of residue is weighed. The limit stated above corresponds to a 5 g sample. If the sample size is increased, this limit can be lowered.


Paper, board and pulps — Determination of residue (ash) on ignition at 525 degrees C

Papier, carton et pâtes — Détermination du résidu (cendres) après incinération à 525 degrés C

ISO/TS 1762:2015 describes the determination of the residue (ash) on ignition of paper, board and pulp at 525 °C. It is applicable to all types of paper, board, and pulp samples. The ash may consist of

a)    mineral matter in the pulp and various residues from chemicals used in its manufacture,

b)    metallic matter from piping and machinery, and

c)    fillers, pigments, coatings, or residues from various additives.

In samples containing calcium carbonate, there is practically no decomposition of carbonate by ashing at 525 °C. Other fillers and pigments such as clay and titanium dioxide are also unaffected by ashing at 525 °C. Accordingly, the residue on ignition as determined by this International Standard provides a good estimate of the total inorganic matter in the sample, provided that the sample does not contain other minerals which decompose at or below this temperature. For example, magnesium carbonate and calcium sulfate may, at least partly, decompose at temperatures below 525 °C.


Paper and board — Determination of colour by diffuse reflectance — Part 1: Indoor daylight conditions (C/2 degrees)

Papier et carton — Détermination de la couleur par réflectance diffuse — Partie 1: Conditions d'éclairage intérieur de jour (C/2 degrés)

ISO 5631-1:2015 specifies a method for measuring the colour of paper and board by the diffuse reflectance method with the elimination of specular gloss.

ISO 5631-1:2015 is not applicable to coloured papers or boards which incorporate fluorescent dyes or pigments. It may be used to determine the colour of papers or boards which contain fluorescent whitening agents provided the UV content of the illumination on the test piece has been adjusted to conform to that in the CIE illuminant C, using a fluorescent reference standard that fulfils the requirements for international fluorescent reference standards of level 3 (IR3) as prescribed by ISO 2469 with an assigned ISO brightness value (C/2°) provided by an authorized laboratory, as described in ISO 2470‑1.

Protective clothing — Protection against chemicals — Measurement of cumulative permeation of chemicals with low vapour pressure through materials

Habillement de protection — Protection contre les produits chimiques — Mesure de la perméation cumulée à travers des matériaux des produits chimiques ayant une faible pression de vapeur

ISO 19918 describes laboratory test methods to determine the resistance of materials, closures, and seams used in personal protective equipment (PPE) to permeation by solid or liquid chemicals with low vapour pressure (less than 133,322 Pa at 25 °C) and/or insolubility in water or other liquids commonly used as collection media. These chemicals that are often part of pesticide formulations and other mixtures cannot be measured using other standards for measuring permeation. This test method is suitable for field strength and concentrated pesticide formulations as well as other mixtures in which the active ingredient is a chemical with low vapour pressure and/or low solubility in commonly used liquid and gaseous collection media.

This test method is not intended to be used in place of standards such as ISO 6529, EN 16523-1 and ASTM F739, which measure permeation of chemicals that are either volatile or soluble in water or other liquids that do not interact with the material being tested. ISO 19918 is not suitable for measurement of volatile chemicals that may evaporate before the chemical analysis is complete.

The degree of contamination depends on numerous factors, such as type of exposure, application technique, and chemical formulation. As the level of exposure can vary considerably, this method is designed to rate relative performance of PPE materials for different durations.

This method is designed to measure cumulative permeation. Breakthrough time cannot be measured by this method. This test method does not measure resistance to penetration or degradation.

The test method standard may be used for the evaluation of PPE materials that are new or those for which the product standard requires treatment, such as laundering or simulated abrasion. Details of the treatment shall be reported.

ISO 19923:2017 specifies space plasma environments that lead to the generation of the worst-case surface potential differences for spacecraft. It also specifies how to estimate worst-case potential differences by using the simulation codes provided.

ISO 19923:2017 includes plasma energy and density in GEO, PEO, and MEO. ISO 19923:2017 does not include descriptions of plasma energy and density in LEO because large surface charging in LEO is likely to be due to high-voltage power generation by instrumentation of the spacecraft.

ISO 19923:2017 deals with external surface charging of spacecraft only.


ISO 19924:2017 provides guidance for test providers and interested parties to implement acoustic tests of aerospace systems, subsystems, modules and units for applicable spacecraft programs. ISO 19924:2017 specifies a framework to meet test and process requirements and acts as a supplement to ISO 15864.

The acoustic test system, the technical requirements and the procedures for acoustic tests in reverberant chambers are described. Furthermore, the criteria for the manual test interruption and evaluation are also described.

The technical requirements in ISO 19924:2017 can be tailored to fulfil the objectives of tests.

Meteorology — Weather radar — Part 1: System performance and operation

Météorologie — Radars météorologiques — Partie 1: Performance et fonctionnement des systèmes

ISO 19926-1:2019 specifies system performance of ground-based weather radar systems measuring the atmosphere using frequencies between 2 GHz and 10 GHz. These systems are suitable for the area-wide detection of precipitation and other meteorological targets at different altitudes. This document also describes ways to verify the different aspects of system performance, including infrastructure.

ISO 19926-1:2019 is applicable to linear polarization parabolic radar systems, dual-polarization and single-polarization radars. It does not apply to fan-beam radars [narrow in azimuth (AZ) and broad in elevation (EL)], including marine and aeronautical surveillance radars, which are used for, but are not primarily designed for, weather applications. Phased-array radars with electronically formed and steered beams, including multi-beam, with non-circular off-bore sight patterns, are new and insufficient performance information is available.

ISO 19926-1:2019 does not describe weather radar technology and its applications. Weather radar systems can be used for applications such as quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE), the classification of hydrometeors (e.g. hail), the estimation of wind speeds and the detection and surveillance of severe meteorological phenomena (e.g. microburst, tornado). Some of these applications have particular requirements for the positioning of the radar system or need specific measurement strategies. However, the procedures for calibration and maintenance described in this document apply here as well.

ISO 19926-1:2019 addresses manufacturers and radar operators.


Fibre-reinforced plastic composites — Determination of interlaminar strength and modulus by double beam shear test

Composites plastiques renforcés de fibres — Détermination de la résistance interlaminaire et du module par un double essai de cisaillement de faisceau

This document specifies a procedure for determining the interlaminar strength, and modulus, by double beam shear (DBS) tests of fibre-reinforced plastic composites.

The method is suitable for use with glass or carbon fibre-reinforced plastic composites with thermoset matrices, providing an acceptable interlaminar failure is obtained.

This document only applies to laminate with a symmetrical and balanced lay‐up as it avoids bending/twisting or bending/extension coupling deformations (see 6.2). The preferred lay-up is unidirectional, with fibres aligned along the specimen (axial) length.

The suitability of the test for specific lay-ups, matrices and fibres (e.g. natural) are assessed by trial tests to ensure the correct delamination failures are obtained.

Explosive atmospheres — Part 20-2: Material characteristics — Combustible dusts test methods

Atmosphères explosives — Partie 20-2: Caractéristiques des produits — Méthodes d’essai des poussières combustibles

ISO/IEC 80079-20-2:2016 is published as a dual logo standard and describes the test methods for the identification of combustible dust and combustible dust layers in order to permit classification
of areas where such materials exist for the purpose of the proper selection and installation of electrical and mechanical equipment for use in the presence of combustible dust. The standard
atmospheric conditions for determination of characteristics of combustible dusts are:
- temperature -20 °C to 60 °C,
- pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar) and
- air with normal oxygen content, typically 21 % v/v. The test methods defined do not apply to:
- recognized explosives, propellants (e.g. gunpowder, dynamite), or substances or mixtures of substances which may, under some circumstances, behave in a similar manner or
- dusts of explosives and propellants that do not require atmospheric oxygen for combustion, or to pyrophoric substances. This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61241-2-1 published in 1994, the first edition of IEC 61241-2-2 published in 1993 and the first edition of IEC 61241-2-3 published in 1994, combining the requirements into a single document, and is considered to constitute a technical revision. Significant changes with respect to IEC 61241-2-1:1994, IEC 61241-2-2:1993 and IEC 61241-2-3:1994 can be found in the foreword of the document.

Cutting tool data representation and exchange — Part 70: Graphical data layout — Layer setting for tool layout

Représentation et échange des données relatives aux outils coupants — Partie 70: Format des données graphiques — Réglage des calques pour la représentation de l'outil

ISO/TS 13399-70:2016 is intended to be used for the design of tool layouts for the simulation and the documentation of cutting tool components and cutting tool assemblies. It can be used in connection and correlation with other parts of ISO/TS 13399.

The main purpose of this layer structure is the graphical layout of cutting tool components and cutting tool assemblies to be used within tool pre-setting, NC programming and the simulation of processes, as well as for the design of the machining equipment layout.

The common concept of the BMG (building model generation) layer structure has been extended with more layer definitions for universal use. ISO/TS 13399-70:2016 is applicable for a new layout; old, existing data files are not updated to this level. The use of ISO/TS 13399-70:2016 in terms of change management of existing cutting tool layout is at the manufacturer's discretion.

The extent of the dimensioning is limited to the number of dimensions that are also populated within manufacturer's or distributer's catalogues. The manufacturer determines the level of details and is understood as tool specific.

As the 3D-simulation systems proceed with stock removal, it is differentiated between cutting and non-cutting tool components. Also, the data concept includes the rules of zero points and mounting points for non-rotating tools (lathe tools).


Guidance on aspects of a risk-based approach to assuring sterility of terminally sterilized, single-use health care product that is unable to withstand processing to achieve maximally a sterility assurance level of 10-6

Document d'orientation sur les aspects d'une approche, fondée sur l'appréciation du risque, permettant d'assurer la stérilité des produits de santé à usage unique, soumis à une stérilisation terminale y compris ceux ne pouvant pas supporter un traitement atteignant un niveau d'assurance de la stérilité maximal de 10-6

ISO/TS 19930:2017 provides guidance on identifying the aspects to be considered as part of a risk-based approach to selecting a sterility assurance level (SAL) for terminally sterilized, single-use health care product that is unable to withstand processing to achieve maximally a SAL of 10−6.

In addition, this document provides

a)    background information on the assurance of sterility and sterility assurance level, and

b)    guidance on strategies that can allow the achievement of a maximal SAL of 10−6.

ISO/TS 19930:2017 describes the elements of a quality management system which are applied to enable the appropriate selection of a SAL for terminally sterilized, single-use health care product that is unable to withstand processing to achieve maximally a SAL of 10−6.

NOTE       It is not a requirement of the International Standards for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process to have a full quality management system. Attention is drawn to the standard for quality management systems (see ISO 13485) that controls all stages of the lifecycle of health care product.

ISO/TS 19930:2017 is applicable to sterilization processes in which microorganisms are inactivated by physical and/or chemical means.

ISO/TS 19930:2017 does not apply

-      to selecting a maximal SAL greater than 10−6 for health care product that is able to withstand processing to achieve maximally a SAL of 10−6;

-      in cases where a maximal SAL of 10−6 is required and an alternative SAL is not allowed;

-      in cases where a maximal SAL of greater than 10−6 (e.g. 10−3) has been accepted by regulatory authorities within their jurisdiction for health care product for defined use;

-      to the sterilization of used or reprocessed health care product;

-      to sterilization of health care product by filtration.

ISO/TS 19930:2017 does not describe detailed procedures for assessing microbial inactivation.

ISO/TS 19930:2017 does not specify requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a process for inactivating the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies such as scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Specific recommendations have been produced in particular countries for the processing of materials potentially contaminated with these agents.

NOTE       See also ISO 22442‑1, ISO 22442‑2 and ISO 22442‑3.

ISO/TS 19930:2017 does not supersede or modify published International Standards for particular sterilization processes. ISO/TS 19930:2017 neither recommends a SAL for a given health care product nor identifies a maximal SAL for a health care product to be labelled "sterile".

NOTE       These are matters for regulatory authorities and can vary from country to country.
