Radon control options for new construction in low-rise residential buildings
1 Scope
This National Standard of Canada (NSC) addresses requirements for radon control in the design and construction
of new, low-rise residential buildings (see Definitions).
This Standard provides design criteria, design tools, methods and techniques, and sample construction specifications
to minimize radon entry into new homes prior to initial occupancy and prepare for future mitigation…
1.1 This document specifies a method for determining the Izod impact strength of plastics under defined conditions. A number of different types of specimen and test configurations are defined. Different test parameters are specified according to the type of material, the type of test specimen and the type of notch.
1.2 The method is used to investigate the behaviour of specified types of…
Rubber — Determination of metal content by atomic absorption spectrometry — Part 2: Determination of...
This document specifies an atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the lead content of rubbers.
The method is applicable to raw rubber and rubber products. There is no limit to the concentration of lead that can be determined. High or low concentrations can be determined, provided that suitable adjustments are made to the mass of the test portion and/or the concentration…
Rubber — Determination of metal content by atomic absorption spectrometry — Part 1: Determination of...
This document specifies an atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the zinc content of rubbers.
The method is applicable to raw rubber and rubber products having zinc contents at a minimum of 0,05 % (mass fraction). Zinc contents below this limit can be determined, provided that suitable adjustments are made to the mass of the test portion and/or to the concentrations of…

IEC TS 62565-4-1:2019 establishes a blank detail specification and format for listing essential optical and certain other characteristics of monodisperse luminescent nanomaterials. This document does not address mixtures or agglomerations of luminescent nanomaterials.
In addition, this document enables the customer to specify requirements in a standardized manner and to verify through…
Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-103: Particular requirements for drive...
IEC 60335-2-103:2015+A1:2017+A2:2019 deals with the safety of electric drives for horizontally and vertically moving gates, doors, garage doors and windows for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V for other drives. It also covers the hazards associated with the movement of the driven part.
Battery-operated drives and…

IEC 60335-2-97:2016+A1:2019 deals with the safety of electric drives for shutters, blinds and awnings, intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase drives and 480 V for other drives. Battery-operated drives and other d.c. supplied drives are within the scope of this standard. Examples of equipment that can be driven are:
- spring…
Service businesses exist to supply their customers with intangible benefits such as providing amenities, facilities, or advice. Perhaps to an even greater extent than physical goods, success in the service sector means understanding and meeting your customers’ expectations. But, in a fast-paced, digital world, these expecta-tions constantly change.
ISO has created a practical guide on how to…
Open data communication in building automation, controls and building management — Home and building...
This document defines the integration of KNX protocol implementations on top of Internet protocol (IP) networks, called KNXnet/IP. It describes a standard protocol for KNX devices connected to an IP network, called KNXnet/IP devices. The IP network acts as a fast (compared to KNX twisted pair transmission speed) backbone in KNX installations.
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components - Interface standard for fibre management...
IEC 61756-1:2019 covers general information on fibre management system interfaces. It includes the definitions and rules under which a fibre management system interface is created and it provides also criteria to identify the minimum bending radius for stored fibres. This document allows both single-mode and multimode fibre to be used. Liquid, gas or dust sealing requirements at the cable entry…
