This document presents a simple format for the exchange of digital spectral data that has been designated as an EMSA/MAS standard. This format is readable by both humans and computers and is suitable for transmission through various electronic networks, the phone system (with modems) or on physical computer storage devices (such as removable media). The format is not tied to any one computer,…

This document specifies the determination of nickel-59 and nickel-63 (59Ni and 63Ni) 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 59Ni activity concentrations of 50 mBq·l−1 and 63Ni activity concentrations of 20 mBq·l−1 with a counting time of 200 min and a…

This document specifies the determination of nickel-59 and nickel-63 (59Ni and 63Ni) activity concentration in samples of all types of water using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Using currently available ICP-MS, this test method can measure 59Ni activity concentrations of 300 mBq⋅l−1 and 63Ni activity concentrations of 200 Bq⋅l−1. These values can be achieved with a sample…

This document is focused on the management of the round robin study (RRS) and can provide guidance for the scope development, planning, and execution of the RRS study. It can provide guidance to identify the feedstock, machine operations, process controls, and post-processing operations prior to running the study. RR organizers can identify controlled and free parameters in the study. This…

This document specifies performance requirements for battery powered pumps used for personal sampling of chemical and biological agents in workplace air. It also specifies test methods in order to determine the performance characteristics of such pumps under prescribed laboratory conditions. This document is applicable to battery powered pumps having a nominal volumetric flow rate above 10 ml ⋅ …

It is used for assessing the long-term performance of rail fastening systems. This document is applicable to surface mounted rail on sleepers, bearers and slab track and embedded rail. This test procedure…

This document specifies general test requirements, the test rig and equipment, the test materials and the test procedure and report for determining water endurance performance of air filter elements used in air intake filter systems for rotary machinery such as stationary gas turbines, compressors and other stationary internal combustion engines. The test evaluates water endurance performance of…

This document provides detailed descriptions of statistical methods for proficiency testing providers to use to design proficiency testing schemes and to analyse the data obtained from those schemes. This document provides recommendations on the interpretation of proficiency testing data by participants in such proficiency testing schemes and by accreditation bodies. The procedures in this…

This document specifies methods for the determination of the modulus in shear and the strength of bonds of rubber to metal or other rigid plates, using rubber bonded between four parallel plates. Method A describes the determination of the modulus in shear. Method B describes the determination of the strength of the bonds. The methods are applicable primarily to test pieces prepared in the…

This document defines procedures for determining the standard thermal outputs and other characteristics of radiators and convectors installed in a permanent manner in construction works, fed with water or steam at temperatures below 120 °C, supplied by a remote energy source. This document specifies the laboratory arrangements and testing methods to be adopted, the admissible tolerances, the…
