Oil and gas industries including lower carbon energy — Specific requirements for offshore structures — Part 1: Metocean design and operating considerations

Industries du pétrole et du gaz, y compris les énergies à faible teneur en carbone — Exigences spécifiques relatives aux structures en mer — Partie 1: Dispositions océano-météorologiques pour la conception et l'exploitation

ISO 19901-1:2015 gives general requirements for the determination and use of meteorological and oceanographic (metocean) conditions for the design, construction and operation of offshore structures of all types used in the petroleum and natural gas industries.

The requirements are divided into two broad types:

- those that relate to the determination of environmental conditions in general, together with the metocean parameters that are required to adequately describe them;

- those that relate to the characterization and use of metocean parameters for the design, the construction activities or the operation of offshore structures.

The environmental conditions and metocean parameters discussed are:

- extreme and abnormal values of metocean parameters that recur with given return periods that are considerably longer than the design service life of the structure,

- long-term distributions of metocean parameters, in the form of cumulative, conditional, marginal or joint statistics of metocean parameters, and

- normal environmental conditions that are expected to occur frequently during the design service life of the structure.

Metocean parameters are applicable to:

- the determination of actions for the design of new structures,

- the determination of actions for the assessment of existing structures,

- the site-specific assessment of mobile offshore units,

- the determination of limiting environmental conditions, weather windows, actions and action effects for pre-service and post-service situations (i.e. fabrication, transportation and installation or decommissioning and removal of a structure), and

- the operation of the platform, where appropriate.

NOTE Specific metocean requirements for site-specific assessment of jack-ups are contained in ISO 19905‑1, for arctic offshore structures in ISO 19906 and for topside structures in ISO 19901‑3.


Metallic materials — Instrumented indentation test for hardness and materials parameters — Part 1: Test method

Matériaux métalliques — Essai de pénétration instrumenté pour la détermination de la dureté et de paramètres des matériaux — Partie 1: Méthode d'essai

ISO 14577-1:2015 specifies the method of instrumented indentation test for determination of hardness and other materials parameters for the following three ranges: macro range: 2 N ≤ F ≤ 30 kN; micro range: 2 N > F; h > 0,2 µm; and nano range: h ≤ 0,2 µm.

For the nano range, the mechanical deformation strongly depends on the real shape of indenter tip and the calculated material parameters are significantly influenced by the contact area function of the indenter used in the testing machine. Therefore, careful calibration of both instrument and indenter shape is required in order to achieve an acceptable reproducibility of the materials parameters determined with different machines.

The macro and micro ranges are distinguished by the test forces in relation to the indentation depth.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the micro range has an upper limit given by the test force (2 N) and a lower limit given by the indentation depth of 0,2 µm.

The determination of hardness and other material parameters is given in Annex A.

At high contact pressures, damage to the indenter is possible. For this reason in the macro range, hardmetal indenters are often used. For test pieces with very high hardness and modulus of elasticity, permanent indenter deformation can occur and can be detected using suitable reference materials. It is necessary that its influence on the test result be taken into account.

This test method can also be applied to thin metallic and non-metallic coatings and non-metallic materials. In this case, it is recommended that the specifications in the relevant standards be taken into account (see also 6.3 and ISO 14577‑4).


Metallic materials — Instrumented indentation test for hardness and materials parameters — Part 2: Verification and calibration of testing machines

Matériaux métalliques — Essai de pénétration instrumenté pour la détermination de la dureté et de paramètres des matériaux — Partie 2: Vérification et étalonnage des machines d'essai

It describes a direct verification method for checking the main functions of the testing machine and an indirect verification method suitable for the determination of the repeatability of the testing machine. There is a requirement that the indirect method be used in addition to the direct method and for the periodic routine checking of the testing machine in service.

It is a requirement that the indirect method of verification of the testing machine be carried out independently for each test method.

ISO 14577-2:2015 is also applicable for transportable testing machines.

Biodiversity and the Food Sector: Guidelines on how to improve biodiversity performance of food companies and food retailers

Biodiversité et secteur agroalimentaire : lignes directrices pour l’amélioration des performances des entreprises et des détaillants alimentaires en matière de biodiversité


Biodiversity and Raw Material: Considering biodiversity protection in the first step of the supply chain. Guidelines on the extraction of abiotic raw material and its impacts on biodiversity

SCOPE

The guideline addresses all companies that purchase raw materials as a decision-making aid for sourcing raw materials where they are mined /extracted in a particularly biodiversity-friendly manner. The guideline is as well a decision making aid for companies extracting raw material.

Target groups:

- Companies purchasing raw materials

- Companies extracting raw material

- Political decision makers in sourcing regions

To evaluate the impact of raw material extraction on biodiversity, it is essential not only to look at one single extractive company or supplier, but to evaluate the impact on landscape level, that means the sourcing region. One mining company has limited impact on biodiversity, but many mines or extraction sites will have a destructive impact on ecosystems and related biodiversity. The guidelines will provide advice on which aspects should be considered to evaluate the biodiversity performance of a sourcing region and which supporting instruments are available.

This document sets forth performance-based criteria and recommendations for the design and use of systems for sampling of airborne radioactive materials in the effluent air from the ducts and stacks of nuclear facilities.

The requirements and recommendations of this document are aimed at sampling that is conducted for regulatory compliance and system control. If existing air-sampling systems are not designed to the performance requirements and recommendations of this document, an evaluation of the performance of the system is advised. If deficiencies are discovered, a determination of whether or not a retrofit is needed and practicable is recommended.

It can be impossible to meet the requirements of this document in all conditions with a sampling system designed for normal operations only. Under off-normal conditions, the criteria or recommendations of this document still apply. However, for accident conditions, special accident air sampling systems or measurements can be used.

This document does not address outdoor air sampling, radon measurements, or the surveillance of airborne radioactive substances in the workplace of nuclear facilities.

NOTE            Reference [1] addresses the instrumentation that is frequently used in nuclear air monitoring. Reference [5] addresses air sampling in the workplace of nuclear facilities. References [6] and [7] describe the performance characteristics of air monitors.


Radiological protection — Criteria and performance limits for the periodic evaluation of dosimetry services for external radiation

This document specifies the dosimetric and organizational criteria and the test procedures to be used for the periodic verification of the performance of dosimetry services supplying personal and/or area, i.e. workplace and/or environmental, dosemeters used for individual (personal) and/or area, i.e. workplace and/or environmental monitoring.

NOTE            The quality of a supplier of a dosimetry service depends on both the characteristics of the approved (type‑tested) dosimetry system and the training and experience of the staff, together with the calibration procedures and quality assurance programmes.

The performance evaluation according to this document can be carried out by a dosimetry service to demonstrate the fulfilment of specified performance requirements. The irradiation qualities used in this document are representative for exposure situations that are expected or mimic workplace fields from the radiological activities being monitored using the dosemeters from the services.

This document applies to personal and area dosemeters for the assessment of external photon radiation with a fluence-weighted mean energy between 8 keV and 10 MeV, beta radiation with a fluence-weighted mean energy between 60 keV and 1,2 MeV, and neutron radiation with a fluence-weighted mean energy between 25,3 meV, i.e. thermal neutrons with a Maxwellian energy distribution with kT = 25,3 meV, and 200 MeV.

It covers all types of personal and area dosemeters needing laboratory processing (e.g. thermoluminescent, optically stimulated luminescence, radiophotoluminescent, track detectors or photographic-film dosemeters) and involving continuous measurements or measurements repeated regularly at fixed time intervals (e.g. several weeks, one month).

Active direct reading as well as semi-passive or hybrid dosemeters, such as direct ion storage (DIS) or silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) dosemeters, for dose measurement, can also be treated according to this document. Then, they are treated as if they were passive, i.e. the dosimetry service reads their indicated values and reports them to the evaluation organization.

In this document, the corrected indicated (corrected indication) value is the one given by the dosimetry systems as the final result of the evaluation algorithm (for example display of the software, printout) in units of dose equivalent (Sv).

Environmental dosemeters usually indicate the quantity H*(10) but they can, in addition or alternatively, indicate the quantity H'(3), H'(0,07), air kerma, Ka, or absorbed dose, D. All these dosemeters can also be treated according to this document. If Ka or D is indicated (in Gy) the dose values in this document stated in Sv shall then be interpreted as equivalent values in Gy.

Management of terminology resources – Microcontent entities


Statistical methods in process management — Capability and performance — Part 7: Capability of measurement processes — Amendment 1

Méthodes statistiques dans la gestion de processus — Aptitude et performance — Partie 7: Aptitude des processus de mesure — Amendement 1


Guidelines for implementation of statistical process control (SPC) — Part 1: Statistical Process Management — Elements, Tools and Techniques of SPC

Statistical process control (SPC) concerns the use of statistical techniques and statistical or stochastic control algorithms to achieve one or more of the following objectives:

a)      to increase knowledge about a process;

b)     to steer a process to behave in the desired way;

c)      to reduce variation of final-product parameters, or in other ways to improve performance of a process.

These guidelines give the elements for implementing an SPC system to achieve these objectives. The common economic objective of statistical process control is to increase good process outputs produced for a given amount of resource inputs.

NOTE 1 SPC operates most efficiently by controlling variation of a process parameter or an in-process product parameter that is correlated with a final-product parameter or by increasing the process’s robustness against this variation. A supplier’s final-product parameter may be a process parameter to the next downstream supplier’s process.

NOTE 2 Although SPC is concerned with manufactured goods, it is also applicable to processes producing services or transactions (for example, those involving data, communications, software, or movement of materials).

This part of ISO 11462 specifies SPC system guidelines for use

- when a supplier's capability to reduce variation in processes associated with design or production needs to be proven or improved; or

- when a supplier is beginning SPC implementation to achieve such capability.

This part of ISO 11462 considers the complete industrial supply chain. It describes some essential statistical methods that can be used to continuously improve capability or performance and stability of production processes.

The bottom line is that production processes are controlled economically, promptly and effectively. As a result, a predefined level of quality can be realised. The improvement of stability and performance or capability of the production processes effectively reduces waste and machine downtime or increases productivity. If defective production parts are found in a random sample, they can be sorted out and, if necessary, further measures can be initiated.

It is designed to be applicable to the technically versatile GNSS systems on the market and can be used for any kind of GNSS based coordinate determination application, not only geodetic. It is independent of the technology used in the GNSS measuring instrument, the satellite data streams, and any correction data used. The procedure is applicable to GNSS instruments under use conditions in the field in such a way, that the main parameters affecting the determination of coordinates are included in the result of the test. Several delimination criteria defined by the document allow a versatile applicability so the verification procedure can be performed regurarly in the fielw with limited economic impact.

Natural gas — Calculation of calorific values, density, relative density and Wobbe indices from composition

Gaz naturel — Calcul des pouvoirs calorifiques, de la masse volumique, de la densité relative et des indices de Wobbe à partir de la composition

ISO 6976:2016 specifies methods for the calculation of gross calorific value, net calorific value, density, relative density, gross Wobbe index and net Wobbe index of natural gases, natural gas substitutes and other combustible gaseous fuels, when the composition of the gas by mole fraction is known. The methods specified provide the means of calculating the properties of the gas mixture at commonly used reference conditions.

Mole fractions by definition sum to unity. Guidance on the achievement of this requirement by chromatographic analysis is available in ISO 6974‑1 and ISO 6974‑2.

The methods of calculation require values for various physical properties of the pure components; these values, together with associated uncertainties, are provided in tables and their sources are identified.

Methods are given for estimating the standard uncertainties of calculated properties.

The methods of calculation of the values of properties on either a molar, mass or volume basis are applicable to any natural gas, natural gas substitute or other combustible fuel that is normally gaseous, except that for properties on the volume basis the method is restricted to mixtures for which the compression factor at reference conditions is greater than 0,9.

Example calculations are given in Annex D for the recommended methods of calculation.

NOTE 1 The qualifiers "superior", "higher", "upper" and "total" are, for the purposes of this document, synonymous with "gross"; likewise, "inferior" and "lower" are synonymous with "net". The term "heating value" is synonymous with "calorific value"; "mass density" and "specific density" are synonymous with "density"; "specific gravity" is synonymous with "relative density"; "Wobbe number" is synonymous with "Wobbe index"; "compressibility factor" is synonymous with "compression factor". The dimensionless quantity molecular weight is numerically equal to the molar mass in kg·kmol−1.

NOTE 2 There are no explicit limits of composition to which the methods described in this document are applicable. However, the restriction of volume-basis calculations to mixtures with a compression factor greater than 0,9 at reference conditions sets implicit limits on composition.

NOTE 3 Because the mole fraction of any water present is not normally available from chromatographic analysis, it is common practice to calculate the physical properties on a dry gas basis and to allow for the effects of water vapour in a separate procedure. However, if the mole fraction of water vapour is known then the property calculations can be carried out completely in accordance with the procedures described herein. The effects of water vapour on calorific value, whether the latter is directly measured or calculated, are discussed in ISO/TR 29922.

NOTE 4 For aliphatic hydrocarbons of carbon number 7 or above, any isomer present is included with the normal isomer of the same carbon number.

NOTE 5 If the user's requirement includes the replacement of, for example, a C6+ or C7+ grouping of analytically unresolved components by a single pseudo-component, then it is the user's own task to set the mole fraction composition, and hence properties, of this pseudo-component so as to be fit for purpose in the particular application. Any so-called "spectator water" and "non-combustible hydrogen sulfide" are treated as pseudo-components by setting the appropriate enthalpy of combustion values to zero.

Petroleum and related products — Determination of the shear stability of polymer-containing oils using a diesel injector nozzle

Pétrole et produits connexes — Détermination de la stabilité au cisaillement de fluides contenant des polymères au moyen d'un injecteur pour moteur diesel

ISO 20844:2015 specifies a method to assess the resistance to shear stresses applied to mineral oils, synthetic oils, and other fluids containing polymers, when passed through a specified diesel injector nozzle. The shear stability is measured by the change in viscosity of the fluid under test, brought about by the polymer degradation during stress. Under normal circumstances, this International Standard is applied to hydraulic fluids of categories HR and HV as defined in ISO 6743‑4[1] and specified in ISO 11158 [2], but it may also be applied to fire-resistant hydraulic fluids within categories HFA, HFB, HFC, and HFD, with modified conditions as specified in ISO 12922[3].

No formal correlation has been established between the viscosity loss, or the absence of viscosity loss, obtained using the procedures described in this International Standard and that of oils and fluids in actual service. However, it provides standardized conditions for the evaluation of polymer stability under minimized thermal and oxidative stresses. It is normally used by manufacturers of fluids and additives, and users, as a means of ranking existing and potential formulations.

NOTE          Changes to properties other than viscosity are specified in some specifications, but these are not covered by the procedures specified in this International Standard.


Information technology — Metamodel framework for interoperability (MFI) — Part 13: Metamodel for form design registration

Technologies de l'information — Cadre du métamodèle pour l'interopérabilité (MFI) — Partie 13: Métamodèle pour l'enregistrement de la conception des formulaires

The primary purpose of the ISO/IEC 19763 series is to specify a metamodel framework for interoperability. ISO/IEC TS 19763-13(E) specifies a metamodel for registering form designs.

ISO/IEC TS 19763-13(E) provides a metamodel to describe the structure and semantics of an implemented form devoid of any specific, domain semantics, e.g. in healthcare, social science, e-government and e-business, or representation format so that data may be faithfully exchanged between systems and system components, and associations expressed between sets of form designs whose data may be compared, joined or composed for analysis.


Information technology — General-purpose datatypes (GPD)

Technologies de l'information — Types de données à but général (GPD)

ISO/IEC 11404:2007 specifies the nomenclature and shared semantics for a collection of datatypes commonly occurring in programming languages and software interfaces, referred to as the General-Purpose Datatypes (GPD). It specifies both primitive datatypes, in the sense of being defined ab initio without reference to other datatypes, and non-primitive datatypes, in the sense of being wholly or partly defined in terms of other datatypes. The specification of datatypes in ISO/IEC 11404:2007 is "general-purpose" in the sense that the datatypes specified are classes of datatype of which the actual datatypes used in programming languages and other entities requiring the concept "datatype" are particular instances. These datatypes are general in nature; thus, they serve a wide variety of information processing applications.

ISO/IEC 11404:2007 expressly distinguishes three notions of datatype:

the conceptual, or abstract, notion of a datatype, which characterizes the datatype by its nominal values and properties;

the structural notion of a datatype, which characterizes the datatype as a conceptual organization of specific component datatypes with specific functionalities; and

the implementation notion of a datatype, which characterizes the datatype by defining the rules for representation of the datatype in a given environment.

ISO/IEC 11404:2007 defines the abstract notions of many commonly used primitive and non-primitive datatypes which possess the structural notion of atomicity. ISO/IEC 11404:2007 does not define all atomic datatypes; it defines only those which are common in programming languages and software interfaces. ISO/IEC 11404:2007 defines structural notions for the specification of other non-primitive datatypes, and provides a means by which datatypes not defined herein can be defined structurally in terms of the GPDs defined herein.

ISO/IEC 11404:2007 defines a partial terminology for implementation notions of datatypes and provides for the use of this terminology in the definition of datatypes. The primary purpose of this terminology is to identify common implementation notions associated with datatypes and to distinguish them from conceptual notions.

ISO/IEC 11404:2007 specifies the required elements of mappings between the GPDs and the datatypes of some other language. ISO/IEC 11404:2007 does not specify the precise form of a mapping, but rather the required information content of a mapping.

Information technology — Business operational view — Part 8: Identification of privacy protection requirements as external constraints on business transactions

Technologies de l'information — Vue opérationnelle d'affaires — Partie 8: Identification des exigences de protection de la vie privée en tant que contraintes externes sur les transactions d'affaires

ISO/IEC 15944-8:2012 has been developed to support modelling generic international requirements for identifying and providing privacy protection of personal information throughout any kind of information and communications technology (ICT) based business transaction where the individual has the role of a buyer. It provides users and designers with a methodology and tools addressing requirements imposed by jurisdictional domains.

ISO/IEC 15944-8:2012 takes the "business operational view" (BOV) aspects developed in ISO/IEC 14662, together with, in particular, ISO/IEC 15944-1 and ISO/IEC 15944-5 as well as many other international references.

ISO/IEC 15944 models the requirements of jurisdictional domains as external constraints upon the creation, use, interchange, and information life-cycle management of data. ISO/IEC 15944-8:2012 addresses the wider context of the public policy requirements of jurisdictional domains controlling the use of personal information (PI). These include regulations for consumer protection, privacy protection, individual accessibility, etc.

ISO/IEC 15944-8:2012 identifies and expands upon eleven generic, primitive, international principles that have been associated with privacy protection by international, regional, and UN member states' requirements. It models them with respect to the "collaboration space" of a business transaction and commitment exchange involving an individual acting in the role of a "buyer". It provides principles and rules governing the establishment, management and use of identifiers of that individual, including the use of legally recognized names (LRNs), recognized individual identity (rii), and methods of non-identification such as the use of anonymization and pseudonymization of personal information.

ISO/IEC 15944-8:2012 also sets out principles governing information life-cycle management (ILCM) as well as the rules and associated coded domains for obtaining informed consent for collection, specifying state changes, records retention, record deletion and related matters in support of privacy protection requirements.


Paper and board — Determination of internal bond strength

Papier et carton — Détermination de la force de cohésion interne

ISO 16260:2016 describes a method to measure the energy required to rapidly delaminate a test piece of paper or board. Rupture of the test piece in the "Z" or thickness direction is initiated by a pendulum having a defined mass, moving at a defined velocity.

The procedure is suitable for both single- and multi-ply papers and boards, including coated sheets and those that are laminated with synthetic polymer films. It is particularly suitable for papers and boards that may be subjected to Z-direction[2],[5] rapid impacts, impulses, or shock loads during printing or conversion.

The test procedure entails the adherence of double-sided adhesive tape to both sides of the test piece under pressure. For this reason, the method may be unsuitable for materials that might be structurally damaged by compression or are porous enough to permit migration of the tape adhesive into or through the test piece.


Tissue paper and tissue products — Part 5: Determination of wet tensile strength

Papier tissue et produits tissue — Partie 5: Détermination de la résistance à la rupture par traction à l'état humide

This document specifies a test method for the determination of the wet tensile strength of tissue paper and tissue products after soaking with water, using a tensile-strength-testing apparatus operating with a constant rate of elongation.

Currently, two types of tensile-strength-testing apparatus are commercially available, one where the test piece is positioned vertically and, for the other, horizontally. This document applies for both. For vertical tensile-strength-testing apparatus, a device that is held in the lower grip of the tensile-strength-testing apparatus, called a Finch Cup, is used to achieve the wetting. For horizontal tensile-strength-testing apparatus, the soaking device is placed between the two clamps.

This document is not applicable to cases where impurities and contraries are determined.
