Design of nuclear power plants against seismic events — Part 1: Principles
This document applies to nuclear power plants with water cooled reactors and, in particular, to the design of components and civil structures against seismic events in order to meet the safety objectives. For other nuclear facilities the applicability of the document is checked in advance, before it might be applied correspondingly. Seismic isolation is not adressed in the series of ISO 4917.

Molecular biomarker analysis — Detection of animal-derived materials in foodstuffs and feedstuffs by...
This document specifies a real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method for the qualitative detection of duck-specific DNA derived from food and feed. It requires the extraction of an adequate amount of PCR amplifiable DNA from the relevant matrix and can be applied to the detection of duck material derived from mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and spot-billed duck (Anas zonorhyncha…
Lignins — Determination of dry matter content — Oven-drying and freeze-drying methods
This document describes methods for the determination of the dry matter content of lignins by oven-drying and freeze-drying. The methods are applicable to all types of lignins isolated from kraft, organosolv, soda, and sulfite pulping processes, and to lignin obtained by enzymatic or acid hydrolysis of biomass. However, the oven-drying method is not applicable to kraft lignins in the base form,…
