Cosmetics — Microbiology — Detection of specified and non-specified microorganisms

Cosmétiques — Microbiologie — Détection des micro-organismes spécifiés et non spécifiés

ISO 18415:2007 gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of specified microorganisms in cosmetic products as well as for the detection and identification of other kinds of aerobic mesophilic non-specified microorganisms in cosmetic products.

Microorganisms considered as specified in this International Standard might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations. Most of them considered as specified microorganisms include one or more of the following species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.

The method described in ISO 18415:2007 is based on the detection of microbial growth in a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth) suitable to detect microbial contamination, followed by isolation of microorganisms on non-selective agar media. Other methods can be appropriate depending on the level of detection required.

In ISO 18415:2007 specific indications are given for identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Other microorganisms that grow under the conditions described in this International Standard, may be identified by using suitable tests according to a general scheme.


Cosmetics — Microbiology — Detection of Candida albicans

Cosmétiques — Microbiologie — Détection de Candida albicans

ISO 18416:2007 gives general guidelines for the detection and identification of the specified microorganism Candida albicans in cosmetic products. Microorganisms considered as specified in this International Standard might differ from country to country according to national practices or regulations.

The method described in ISO 18416:2007 is based on the detection of Candida albicans in a non-selective liquid medium (enrichment broth), followed by isolation on a selective agar medium. Other methods may be appropriate dependent on the level of detection required.

Because of the large variety of cosmetic products within this field of application, this method might not be suited in every detail, to some products (e.g. certain water-immiscible products). Other International Standards (e.g. ISO 18415) might be appropriate. Other methods (e.g. automated) can be substituted for the test presented here provided that their equivalence has been demonstrated or the method has been otherwise validated.

ISO/TR 13425:2003 gives guidance on the selection and an overview of all the referenced standards, guides, technical reports and DIS developed by ISO/TC 69 from a user prospective. DIS are drafts which can be amended. Both categories are documents, which are available to the public. ISO/TR 13425:2003 also gives two descriptions of the content of the standards by two sets of abstracts: non-technical abstracts and technical abstracts of all these documents. Each abstract presents a brief survey of the content of the actual standard or DIS. It also gives some indications of the use of the document in different areas.

Annex A gives the non-technical and technical abstracts. The non-technical abstracts are usually brief. In these abstracts, the number of technical terms are kept to a minimum. They should give brief outlines of the actual documents. The technical abstracts are somewhat longer. More technical terms are used. The technical abstracts also go more into depth with regard to the content and the use of the actual document than the non-technical abstracts. For many documents, the two abstracts supplement each other.

ISO 176:2005 specifies two empirical methods for the quantitative determination of the loss of mass from a plastic material under defined conditions of rime and temperature, in the presence of activated carbon.

Method A -- The test specimens are in direct contact with the carbon; this method is particularly useful for materials that have to be tested at relatively low temperatures because they flow at higher temperatures.

Method B -- The test specimens are placed in wire cages that prevent direct contact between the test specimens and the carbon.

These methods apply, in particular, to the quantitative determination of the loss on heating of plasticizers from plasticized plastic materials, in which case it is generally assumed that no significant amounts of other volatile materials are present. They are empirical test methods, suitable only for a rather rapid comparison of the losses of plasticizers or, in general, of volatile compounds, from different plastics.

ISO 176:2005 also applies to the comparison of different types of plasticizers; in this case standard compounds should be prepared, on the basis of a well characterized resin, with known ratios of resin to plasticizer.

Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 1: Framework

Technologies de l'information — Formats d'échange de données biométriques — Partie 1: Cadre général

Standardized biometric data interchange formats are crucial to the interoperability of biometric components. ISO/IEC 19794-1:2006 describes general aspects of biometric data interchange formats and specifies requirements to be taken into account in standardizing specific formats. It classifies biometric data according to their processing level and establishes a naming concept for biometric data interchange formats on this basis.


Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 2: Finger minutiae data

Technologies de l'information — Formats d'échange de données biométriques — Partie 2: Données du point caractéristique du doigt

ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 specifies a concept and data formats for representation of fingerprints using the fundamental notion of minutiae. It is generic, in that it may be applied and used in a wide range of application areas where automated fingerprint recognition is involved. ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 contains definitions of relevant terms, a description of how minutiae shall be determined, data formats for containing the data for both general use and for use with cards, and conformance information. Guidelines and values for matching and decision parameters are provided in an informative annex.

ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 specifies

the fundamental data elements used for minutiae-based representation of a fingerprint;

three data formats for interchange and storage of this data: a record-based format, and normal and compact formats for use on a smart card in a match-on-card application;

optional extended data formats for including additional data such as ridge counts and core and delta location.

ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 provides for interchange of finger minutiae data between sensing, storage and matching systems.


Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 3: Finger pattern spectral data

Technologies de l'information — Formats d'échange de données biométriques — Partie 3: Données spectrales de la forme du doigt

ISO/IEC 19794-3:2006, the finger pattern spectral data interchange format, specifies requirements for the representation of local or global spectral data derived from a fingerprint image. The format is designed to provide flexibility in the choice of spectral representation in that spectral components may be based on quantized co-sinusoidal triplets, Discrete Fourier Transformations or Gabor filters. The format also allows for a variable number of spectral components to be retained, which enables data representations in a form that is more compact than storage of the entire fingerprint image. ISO/IEC 19794-3:2006 provides example data records for each of the spectral representations.


Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 4: Finger image data

Technologies de l'information — Formats d'échange de données biométriques — Partie 4: Données d'image du doigt

ISO/IEC 19794-4:2005 specifies a data record interchange format for storing, recording, and transmitting the information from one or more finger or palm image areas within an ISO/IEC 19785-1 CBEFF data structure. This can be used for the exchange and comparison of finger image data. It defines the content, format, and units of measurement for the exchange of finger image data that may be used in the verification or identification process of a subject. The information consists of a variety of mandatory and optional items, including scanning parameters, compressed or uncompressed images and vendor-specific information. This information is intended for interchange among organizations that rely on automated devices and systems for identification or verification purposes based on the information from finger image areas. Information compiled and formatted in accordance with ISO/IEC 19794-4:2005 can be recorded on machine-readable media or may be transmitted by data communication facilities.


Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 5: Face image data

Technologies de l'information — Formats d'échange de données biométriques — Partie 5: Données d'image de la face

ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005 specifies scene, photographic, digitization and format requirements for images of faces to be used in the context of both human verification and computer automated recognition. The approach to specifying scene and photographic requirements in this format is to carefully describe constraints on how a photograph should appear rather than to dictate how the photograph should be taken. The format is designed to allow for the specification of visible information discernable by an observer pertaining to the face, such as gender, pose and eye colour. The digital image format can be either ISO standard JPEG or JPEG2000. Finally, the 'best practice' appendices provide guidance on photo capture for travel documents and face recognition performance versus digital compression.

This consolidated reprint of ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005 contains the original content of ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005 and incorporates the Amendments ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005/Amd 1:2007 and ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005/Amd 2:2009 and the Technical Corrigenda ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005/Cor 1:2008, ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005/Cor 2:2008, ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005/Cor 3:2013, ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005/Cor 4:2015, and the unpublished draft of ISO/IEC 19794-5:2005/Cor 5.


Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 6: Iris image data

Technologies de l'information — Formats d'échange de données biométriques — Partie 6: Données d'image de l'iris

ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005 specifies two alternative image interchange formats for biometric authentication systems that utilize iris recognition.

The first is based on a rectilinear image storage format that may be a raw, uncompressed array of intensity values or a compressed format such as that specified by ISO/IEC 15444.

The second format is based on a polar image specification that requires certain pre-processing and image segmentation steps, but produces a much more compact data structure that contains only iris information.

Data that comply with either one of the iris image formats specified in ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005 are intended to be embedded in a CBEFF-compliant structure in the CBEFF Biometric Data Block (BDB) as specified in ISO/IEC 19785-1.


Information technology — Biometric data interchange formats — Part 7: Signature/sign time series data

Technologies de l'information — Formats d'échange de données biométriques — Partie 7: Données de série chronologique de signature/signe

ISO/IEC 19794-7:2007 specifies two data interchange formats for signature/sign behavioural data captured in the form of time series using devices such as digitizing tablets or advanced pen systems. One data interchange format is for general use and the other one is a compact format for use with smart cards or other tokens. Both data interchange formats can be used for both acquired signature/sign samples (serving as a starting point for feature extraction) and for time-series features (to be compared directly by time-series based comparison algorithms). Abstract syntax notation one (ASN.1) specifications of the data interchange formats and encoding instructions are provided in an informative annex.

Resistance welding — Destructive testing of welds — Method for the fatigue testing of multi-spot-welded specimens

Soudage par résistance — Essais destructifs des soudures — Méthode d'essai de fatigue des échantillons soudés par points multiples

ISO 18592:2009 specifies test specimens and procedures for performing constant load amplitude fatigue tests on multi-spot-welded and multi-axial specimens in the thickness range from 0,5 mm to 5 mm at room temperature and a relative humidity of max. 80 %. The applicability of ISO 18592:2009 to larger thicknesses can be limited by mechanical properties such as yield strength and formability of the specimen material. The thickness range for advanced high strength steels (AHSs) is generally below 3,0 mm. Greater thicknesses apply for aluminium alloys, for example.

Depending on the specimen used, it is possible from the results to evaluate the fatigue behaviour of: a) spot welds subjected to defined uniform load distribution; b) spot welds subjected to defined non-uniform load distribution; c) spot welds subjected to different defined combinations of shear-, peel-and normal-tension loads; and d) the tested specimen.

Multi-spot specimens with which the different load distributions can be realized are: 1) defined uniform load distribution; 2) defined non-uniform load distribution; 3) defined combinations of shear-, peel- and normal-tension loads; 4) spot welds subjected to undefined non-uniform load distribution.

The specimens and tests referred to under 4) are not dealt with further in ISO 18592:2009, because the results obtained with these specimens are specific to the components as tested and may not be generalized or used for deriving data pertaining to the load-carrying behaviour of the welds. Results obtained with such tests are suitable for comparing the mechanical properties of the tested components with those of similar components tested in the same manner. These tests are, however, not suitable for evaluating or comparing the load-carrying properties of the welds.

The test results of the fatigue tests obtained with component like specimens are suitable for deriving criteria for the selection of materials and thickness combinations for structures and components subjected to cyclic loading. This statement is especially relevant for results obtained with specimens with boundary conditions, i.e. a local stiffness similar to that of the structure in question. The results of a fatigue test are suitable for direct application to design only when the loading conditions in service and the stiffness of the design in the joint area are identical.

Resistance welding — Spot welding of aluminium and aluminium alloys — Weldability, welding and testing

Soudage par résistance — Soudage par points de l'aluminium et des alliages d'aluminium — Soudabilité, soudage et essais

ISO 18595:2007 specifies requirements for resistance spot welding in the fabrication of assemblies of aluminium sheet, extrusions (both work- and age-hardening alloys) and/or cast material comprising two or three thicknesses of metal, where the maximum single (sheet) thickness of components to be welded is within the range 0,6 mm to 6 mm.

ISO 18595:2007 is applicable to the welding of sheets or plates of dissimilar thickness where the thickness ratio is less than or equal to 3:1. It applies to the welding of three thicknesses where the total thickness is less than or equal to 9 mm.

Welding with the following types of machines is within the scope of ISO 18595:2007: pedestal welding machines; gun welders; automatic welding equipment where the components are fed by robots or automatic feeding equipment; multi-welders; robotic welders.

The welding of coated material, e. g. zinc coated or anodised material, is not within the scope of ISO 18595:2007.

Data may be transferred asynchronously or synchronously at rates that depend primarily on device implementation and cable length. SCSI is an I/O interface that may be operated over a wide range of media and transfer rates.
The set of SCSI standards provides for many different types of SCSI devices (disks, tapes, printers, scanners and many more), and specifies the interfaces, functions, and operations necessary to ensure interoperability between conforming SCSI implementations. This standard is a functional description of a device model that is applicable to all SCSI devices, and defines the SCSI commands that are mandatory and optional for all SCSI devices. Conforming implementations may employ any design technique that does not violate interoperability.


Information technology — Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) — Part 150: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

Technologies de l'information — Interface de petit système d'ordinateur (SCSI) — Partie 150: SCSI attachée en série (SAS)

The SCSI protocol is designed to provide an efficient peer-to-peer I/O bus with the maximum number of hosts and peripherals determined by the bus width (8 or 16). Data may be transferred asynchronously or synchronously at rates that depend primarily on device implementation and cable length.  SCSI is an I/O interface that may be operated over a wide range of media and transfer rates.

This international standard specifies the functional requirements for the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) physical interconnect, which is compatible with the Serial ATA physical interconnect. It also specifies three transport protocols, one to transport SCSI commands, another to transport Serial ATA commands to multiple SATA devices, and a third to support interface management. This standard is intended to be used in conjunctionwith SCSI and ATA command set standards.


Plastics piping systems — Glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) pipes and fittings — Methods for regression analysis and their use

Systèmes de canalisation en matières plastiques — Tubes et raccords plastiques thermodurcissables renforcés de verre (PRV) — Méthodes pour une analyse de régression et leurs utilisations

Textiles — Determination of resistance to water penetration — Impact penetration test

Textiles — Détermination de la résistance à la pénétration de l'eau — Essai de pénétration par impact

ISO 18695:2007 is applicable to any textile fabric, which may or may not have been given a water-resistant or water-repellent finish. It measures the resistance of fabrics to the penetration of water by low impact, and thus can be used to predict the probable rain penetration resistance of apparel fabrics. The test is best suited for fabrics of medium to loose construction where the Bundesmann rain-shower test (ISO 9865), or Rain Test (ISO 22958) is too severe. Fabrics that do not lie flat under tension are not applicable.


Textiles — Determination of resistance to water absorption — Tumble-jar absorption test

Textiles — Détermination de la résistance à l'absorption d'eau — Essai d'absorption à l'aide d'un pot culbuteur

ISO 18696:2006 is applicable to any textile fabric, which may or may not have been given a water-resistant or water-repellent finish. It measures the resistance of fabrics to wetting by water by the tumble-jar absorption test. It is particularly suitable for measuring the water-repellent efficacy of finishes applied to fabrics, because it subjects the treated fabrics to dynamic conditions similar to those often encountered during actual use.

The test is not intended for use in predicting rain-penetration resistance of fabrics, since it measures absorption of water into, but not through, the fabric. It is intended to determine a fabric's ability to resist water absorption and can be used to predict the probable weight gain of a garment in actual use. The test is best suited for fabrics used in garments for severe wet environmental conditions over an extended time.

Information technology — Radio frequency identification for item management — Elementary tag licence plate functionality for ISO/IEC 18000 air interface definitions

Technologies de l'information — Identification de radiofréquence pour la gestion d'objets — Fonctionnalité du numéro matricule utilisant des tags élémentaires pour les définitions de l'interface d'air pour l'ISO/CEI 18000

ISO/IEC 18000 defines the operation of radio frequency identification (RFID) air interfaces for item identification and management.

ISO/IEC 18000 has been designed to encompass a full range of data capture and carrier functionality. Both read and write operations are enabled, and the interfaces can efficiently support both simple and complex data transactions.

This approach facilitates user implementation by providing consistency between differing types of RFID data transactions. Equally it provides architecture to guide future RFID development whilst maintaining the backward compatibility necessary to sustain market confidence.

Recent developments in the design and management of distributed databases holding item level information have focused attention on 'identification data element' operation of RFID systems. In this application, the RFID tag carries only sufficient data to permit reference to attribute information held elsewhere. Typically this data does not change during the validity of the 'licence' and is of relatively low bit count.

ISO/IEC TR 24710:2005 has been prepared to assist users intending to implement ISO/IEC 18000 RFID air interface standards, with particular focus on so-called elementary tags, i.e. tags possessing limited memory - typically but not exclusively 256 bits or less - and lacking write capability (but not excluding WORM devices).

The annexes to ISO/IEC TR 24710:2005 describe the implementation of ISO/IEC 18000-2, -3, -4, -6 and -7 in such an application.

Users are strongly advised to refer to ISO/IEC 15961 and ISO/IEC 15962 for a full exposition of the management issues relating to data strings used for identification data element purposes.

Bodies external to ISO also specify identification data element length and structure for particular applications.

ISO/IEC TR 24710:2005 defines for each of ISO/IEC 18000-2, -3, -4, -6 and -7, and, where relevant, for each Mode within each part, a transaction that achieves an elementary tag 'identification data element' for item identification and management.

The transaction uses the existing air interface protocols defined in the corresponding parts of ISO/IEC 18000 or a subset thereof.

Information technology — Programming languages — Guide for the use of the Ada Ravenscar Profile in high integrity systems

Technologies de l'information — Langages de programmation — Guide pour l'usage de "Ada Ravenscar Profile" dans les systèmes de haute intégrité

ISO/IEC TR 24718:2005 gives a complete description of the motivations behind the Ada Ravenscar Profile, to show how conformant programs can be analysed and to give examples of usage. The profile is a subset of the Ada tasking model, restricted to meet the real-time community requirements for determinism, schedulability analysis and memory-boundedness, as well as being suitable for mapping to a small and efficient run-time system that supports task synchronization and communication, and which could be certifiable to the highest integrity levels. The profile has been designed such that the restricted form of tasking that it defines can be used even for software that needs to be verified to the very highest integrity levels.

Information technology — Automatic identification and data capture techniques — EAN.UCC Composite bar code symbology specification

Technologies de l'information — Techniques automatiques d'identification et de capture des données — Spécifications de la symbologie des codes à barres du Composant EAN.UCC

Composite symbologies are a class of bar code symbology, the principal distinguishing feature of which is that they comprise two or more components, each of which is a distinct symbol, but which contain a set of related data. Typically one component is a linear symbol containing primary data, which may be read on its own in some areas of the application, and the other component(s) is a two-dimensional symbol containing supplementary data which qualifies the primary message, and requiring all components to be read to extract the complete message. The EAN.UCC Composite symbology, which is one such symbology. The use of the symbology is intended to comply with the GS1 General Specifications.

An EAN.UCC Composite symbol consists of a linear component (encoding the item's primary identification) associated with an adjacent two-dimensional component (encoding supplementary data, such as a batch number or expiration date). The EAN.UCC Composite symbol always includes a linear component so that the primary identification is readable by all scanning technologies, and so that two-dimensional imagers can use the linear component as a finder pattern for the adjacent two-dimensional component. The EAN.UCC Composite symbol always includes a multi-row two-dimensional component, for compatibility with linear and two-dimensional imagers, and with linear and rastering laser scanners.

EAN.UCC Composite symbols are intended for encoding identification numbers and data supplementary to the identification in accordance with GS1 General Specifications. The administration of the numbering system by EAN and UCC ensures that identification codes assigned to particular items are unique world-wide and that they and the associated supplementary data are defined in a consistent way.

ISO/IEC 24723:2006 specifies the requirements for the EAN.UCC Composite symbology. It specifies the EAN.UCC Composite symbology characteristics; data character encodation, symbol formats, dimensions and print quality requirements, error correction rules, and reference decoding algorithms. For those linear and two-dimensional components of EAN.UCC Composite symbols with published symbology specifications, those published specifications apply, except as specifically noted in ISO/IEC 24723:2006.
