Solid waste sites in northern communities: From planning to post-closure
1 Scope
1.1 Purpose
This Standard applies to the management of northern MSW facilities, including the evaluation, planning,
siting, design, implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of MSW facilities and includes pollution
risk management strategies and mitigation measures for new and existing infrastructure in northern
communities. This Standard provides
a) procedures for planning,…
Soil quality — Sampling of soil invertebrates — Part 6: Guidance for the design of sampling programm...
This part of ISO 23611 provides guidance for the design of field studies with soil invertebrates (e.g. for the
monitoring of the quality of a soil as a habitat for organisms). Detailed information on the sampling of the
most important soil organisms is provided in the other parts of this International Standard (ISO 23611-1 to
ISO 23611-5).
This part of ISO 23611 is used for all terrestrial…

Soil quality — Characterization of contaminated soil related to groundwater protection
This document provides guidance on the principles behind, and main methods for, the evaluation of sites, soils and soil materials in relation to their role as a source of contamination of groundwater and their function in retaining, releasing and transforming contaminants. It is focused on contaminated land management identifying and listing relevant monitoring strategies, methods for sampling,…
Thermosyphon foundations for buildings in permafrost regions
1.1 Scope
This Standard provides requirements for all life-cycle phases of thermosyphon foundations for new
buildings on permafrost, including site characterization, design, installation, and commissioning phases as
well as for monitoring and maintenance phases. This Standard is meant to ensure the long-term
performance of thermosyphon-supported foundation systems under changing environmental…

Scope
1.1
This Standard provides requirements for the design, testing, installation, and qualification of equipment for the display of nuclear power plant safety functions in the event of an accident.
1.2
This Standard applies to existing plants, life extensions, and new builds.
1.3
This Standard applies to equipment that enables the operator to
(a) monitor the plant safety functions post-…
Solid fuelled heaters — Test method for determining allowable clearances from combustible surfaces
Applies to free-standing and built-in domestic solid fuel-burning appliances which are able to be fully assembled prior to being transported to the installation site. The test method is based on installation of the appliance within a prescribed environment (test enclosure constructed of timber studs and plywood), firing using a specified procedure, monitoring of the temperatures at appropriate…
1.1 General
This Standard addresses the geotechnical engineering aspects of
(a) gravity-base structures;
(b) fill structures;
(c) fill-retention structures; and
(d) pile-supported structures.
Specific considerations include site investigations, general design principles,
the influences of soil and natural processes on the foundation components, and
the geotechnical factors that…
Soil quality — Framework for detailed recording and monitoring of changes in dynamic soil properties
This document provides a framework for the detailed assessment and monitoring of dynamic soil properties related to soil function with concomitant recording of in-situ static soil properties, landscape, land use and soil management practices that influence function at the time the data were collected. It is applicable to the assessment of soil quality in agricultural landscapes, contaminated…
Soil quality — Effects of contaminants on Enchytraeidae (Enchytraeus sp.) — Determination of effects...
This document specifies one of the methods for evaluating the habitat function of soils and determining effects of soil contaminants and substances on the reproduction of Enchytraeus sp. by dermal and alimentary uptake in a chronic test. It is applicable to soils and soil materials of unknown quality, for example, from contaminated sites, amended soils, soils after remediation, agricultural or…
