This document specifies the manual methods used for obtaining samples of liquid or semi-liquid hydrocarbons, tank residues and deposits from fixed tanks, railcars, road vehicles, ships and barges, drums and cans, or from liquids being pumped in pipelines.
It applies to the sampling of liquid products, including crude oils, intermediate products, synthetic hydrocarbons and bio fuels, which are…
Steel for the reinforcement and prestressing of concrete — Test methods — Part 3: Prestressing steel
This document specifies test methods applicable to prestressing steel (bar, wire or strand) for concrete.
This document does not cover the sampling conditions that are dealt with in the product standards.
Geographic information — Gap analysis of geospatial standards for indoor-outdoor seamless navigation
The objective of this document is to analyse gaps in geospatial standards for indoor-outdoor seamless navigation. This document is intended to be used by designers, developers and providers of outdoor or indoor navigation services.
This document:
a) specifies the concepts for the indoor-outdoor seamless navigation;

3D displays - Part 62-12: Measurement methods for virtual-image type - Image quality
IEC 62629-62-12:2025 specifies the standard measuring conditions and measurement methods for determining image quality for 3D displays that produce virtual images, such as 3D heads‑up displays in which the 3D visual information is superimposed with the outside world. Eyewear displays are however beyond the scope of this document.
The scope of this document does not intend to include eyewear…
Electric components - Reliability - Failure rates at reference conditions
IEC TR 63162:2025, which is a Technical Specification, provides failure rates at reference conditions for electric components, considering reference conditions defined in IEC 61709.
Reference conditions are useful since they provide a known standard basis from which failure rates can be modified to account for differences in environment from the environments taken as reference conditions.
To…

IEC 61097-9:2025 specifies the minimum operational and performance requirements and test methods with required test results for transmitters and receivers capable of voice communication and digital selective calling for the GMDSS operating in either the medium frequency band only or in medium and high frequency bands allocated in the ITU Radio Regulations to the Maritime Mobile Service, as…
Tests on electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions - Part 1-2: Test for vertical flame...
IEC 60332-1-2:2025 CMV contains both the official standard and its commented version. The commented version provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between IEC 60332-1-2:2025 edition 2.0 and the previous IIEC 60332-1-2:2004+AMD1:2015 CSV edition 1.1. Furthermore, comments from IEC TC 20 experts are provided to explain the reasons of the most relevant changes, or to…
Tests on electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions - Part 1-2: Test for vertical flame...
IEC 60332‑1‑2:2025 specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions using a 1 kW pre-mixed flame. The apparatus is described in IEC 60332‑1‑1.
NOTE 1 Testing to IEC 60332‑1‑2 can be performed simultaneously with that to IEC 60332‑1‑3, if required.
This…
A meta-modelling analysis approach to smart manufacturing reference models
IEC TR 63319:2025 uses a meta-modelling approach to identify commonalities among ten smart manufacturing reference models. Each reference model is placed into the context of the meta-model to facilitate analysis of both common and distinct features. Major smart manufacturing reference model topics are identified, and the reference models compared within each topic.
As part of the meta-modelling…
