It also specifies the uncertainty reporting of measurements of household and similar electrical appliances.
It describes methods…
Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium — M...
This document specifies a method, by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide evolved, for the determination of the degree of aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials, including those containing formulation additives. The test material is exposed in a synthetic medium under standardized laboratory conditions to an inoculum from activated sludge under aerobic conditions.
The conditions used in…
Plastics — Test methods for determination of degradation rate and disintegration degree of plastic m...
This document specifies test methods for the measurement of the physical degradation of samples made with plastics materials when exposed to marine environmental matrices under aerobic conditions at laboratory scale.
This document is not suitable for the assessment of degradation caused by heat (thermo-degradation) or light exposure (photo-degradation).

Railway infrastructure — Rail fastening systems — Part 5: Test method for electrical resistance
This document specifies a laboratory test procedure for determining the electrical resistance, in wet conditions, between the running rails provided by a fastening system fitted to a steel or concrete sleeper, bearer or element of ballastless track.
It is also applicable to embedded rail.
This test procedure applies to a complete fastening assembly. It is relevant to signalling currents, not to…
Water quality — Iron-55 — Test method using liquid scintillation counting
This document specifies a test method for the determination of iron-55 (55Fe) activity concentration in samples of all types of water using liquid scintillation counting (LSC). Using currently available liquid scintillation counters, this test method can measure the 55Fe activity concentrations in the range from the limit of detection up to 120 mBq l-1. These values can be achieved with a…
Food products — Guidance on how to express vitamins and their vitamers content
This document provides guidelines on:
— how to express vitamin quantity,
— the expression of different molecular forms in appropriate units,
— and in some cases, vitamin activity, according to vitamers present or used in food products, in addition to the quantitative content determination obtained from ISO and CEN analytical standards.
It provides information to be used as a basis for discussion…
