Scope Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is positioned to serve as a significant enabler in the recycling of various types of products; notably home appliances and electronics. At the same time various recycling streams are challenged by the possibility of RF tags being attached to recycled material, notably glass and steel.

While they are often seen as a means of encouraging the take up of renewable energy and addressing challenges of peak demand, microgrids can make a significant contribution to disaster preparedness and recovery. This White Paper considers preparation for and recovery from major electricity outages, with a focus on customer-side measures. It examines how disaster preparedness and post disaster…

ISO/IEC TR 29198:2013 provides guidance on estimating how "challenging" or "stressing" is an evaluation dataset for fingerprint recognition, based on relative sample quality, relative rotation, deformation, and overlap between impressions. In addition, it establishes a method for construction of datasets of different levels of difficulty. It defines the relative level of…

IEC/TS 62351-5:2013(E) specifies messages, procedures and algorithms for securing the operation of all protocols based on or derived from IEC 60870-5: Telecontrol equipment and systems - Transmission protocols. This Technical Specification applies to at least those protocols listed in IEC 60870-5-101, 5-102, 5-103, 5-104. This new edition includes the following main changes with respect to the…

The proportion of Renewable Energies is likely to increase in all major electricity markets. Their large scale incorporation into existing electricity grids will be complex, and their successful integration will likely depend on large-capacity Electrical Energy Storage. This White Paper’s primary goal is to provide a global view on the state of the art and future directions for grid…

Scope 1.1 This Standard specifies essential elements in implementing a program for using chemicals to sterilize medical devices in health care facilities. Such chemicals can be vapour, gaseous, or liquid and are delivered in validated concentrations and quantities in defined sterilizers. The body of this Standard contains requirements that are common to all chemical sterilization processes,…

The need for Electrical Energy Storage (EES) will increase significantly over the coming years. With the growing penetration of wind and solar, surplus energy could be captured to help reduce generation costs and increase energy supply. EES will play an important role in maintaining a continuous and flexible power supply, while balancing the grid, integrating remote and distributed energy…

ISO 8835-7:2011 specifies safety and performance requirements for anaesthetic systems and components that: · can function in the absence of a supply of compressed medical gases or mains electricity; · can withstand a challenging environment, including high temperatures, humidity, shocks and vibration, and dust; · allow local servicing and maintenance; · may be…

ISO/TR 14187 provides an introduction to (and some examples of) the types of information that can be obtained about nanostructured materials using surface-analysis tools. Of equal importance, both general issues or challenges associated with characterising nanostructured materials and the specific opportunities or challenges associated with individual methods are identified. As the size of…
