Geosynthetics — Determination of friction characteristics — Part 2: Inclined plane test
ISO 12957-2:2005 describes a method of determining the friction characteristics of geosynthetics (geotextiles and geotextile-related products, geosynthetic barriers), in contact with soils, at low normal stress, using an inclining plane apparatus.
This method is primarily intended as a performance test to be used with site-specific soils but may also be used as an index test with standard sand.…
Mechanical vibration — Criteria and safeguards for the in-situ balancing of medium and large rotors
ISO 20806:2004 specifies procedures to be adopted when balancing medium and large rotors installed in their own bearings on site. It addresses the conditions under which it is appropriate to undertake in-situ balancing, the instrumentation required, the safety implications and the requirements for reporting and maintaining records.
ISO 20806:2004 can be used as a basis for a contract to undertake…
Procedure for Certification of Factory-Built Houses
1. Scope

This Standard covers the procedure for certification of factory-built houses,
including modular, panelized, and mobile homes. It provides for
(a) certification of the plant quality program;
(b) certification of the product built;
(c) auditing of the plant quality program; and
(d) in-plant inspection of the product built.
1.2
This Standard does not cover those portions…
Spray-Application of Rigid Polyurethane Cellular Plastic Thermal
Insulation for Building Constructi...
1.1 This standard provides procedures to installers of spray-applied rigid
polyurethane cellular plastic thermal insulation in building construction. The
insulation is intended to be sprayed only into open cavities or onto surfaces
at the construction site. After the insulation application, the cavities or
surfaces can be enclosed.
1.2 The procedures include selection of chemical…
Marine energy - Wave, tidal and other water current converters - Part 103: Guidelines for the early ...
IEC TS 62600-103:2024 is concerned with the sub-prototype scale development of wave energy converters (WECs). It includes wave tank test programmes, where wave conditions are controlled so they can be scheduled, and first sea trials, where sea states occur naturally and the programmes are adjusted and flexible to accommodate the conditions. Commercial-scale prototype tests are not covered in this…
Security and resilience — Vehicle security barriers — Part 2: Application
This document gives guidance on the selection, installation and use of vehicle security barrier (VSBs) and describes the process of producing operational requirements (ORs).
It also gives guidance on a design method for assessing the performance of a VSB.
This document is applicable to end users, such as site owners and specifiers, of VSBs, where they are used to protect people in any public or…

Le présent document spécifie des exigences particulières concernant les dispositifs médicaux implantables actifs, destinés à délivrer une substance médicamenteuse en des sites spécifiques du corps humain, afin de garantir la sécurité de base des patients et des utilisateurs. Il modifie et complète l'ISO 14708-1:2014. Les exigences du présent document sont prioritaires sur celles de l'…
Soil quality — Sampling of soil invertebrates — Part 3: Sampling and extraction of enchytraeids
This document specifies a method for sampling, handling and extracting enchytraeids from terrestrial field soils as a prerequisite for using these animals as bioindicators (e.g. to assess the quality of a soil as a habitat for organisms).
Basic information on the ecology of enchytraeids and their use as bioindicators in the terrestrial environment is included in the Bibliography.
