This document defines terms related to cell line authentication in the field of biotechnology. It describes the general principles, detection strategies and analytical methods for cell line authentication. It specifies requirements and key considerations for method selection, quality control parameters, data analysis and reporting.
This document is applicable to routine inspection of cell lines…
Plastics — Guidance for the use of standard fire tests
ISO 10840:2008 covers the following aspects of fire testing of plastics materials and products:
selection of appropriate tests that reflect realistic end-use conditions;
grouping of the reaction-to-fire characteristics that any given test or tests can measure;
assessment of tests as to their relevance in areas such as material characterization, quality control, pre‑selection, end-product testing…
Water quality — Estimation of measurement uncertainty based on validation and quality control data
This International Standard specifies methods for the estimation of measurement uncertainty of chemical and
physicochemical methods in single laboratories based on validation data and analytical quality control results
obtained within the field of water analysis.
NOTE 1 The principles of the estimation of uncertainty specified in this International Standard are consistent with the
principles…
Medical laboratories — Application of risk management to medical laboratories
This document specifies a process for a medical laboratory to identify and manage the risks to patients, laboratory workers and service providers that are associated with medical laboratory examinations. The process includes identifying, estimating, evaluating, controlling and monitoring the risks.
The requirements of this document are applicable to all aspects of the examinations and services of…
Measurement of radioactivity — Gamma emitting radionuclides — Rapid screening method using scintilla...
ISO 19581 specifies a screening test method to quantify rapidly the activity concentration of gamma-emitting radionuclides, such as 131I, 132Te, 134Cs and 137Cs, in solid or liquid test samples using gamma-ray spectrometry with lower resolution scintillation detectors as compared with the HPGe detectors (see IEC 61563).
This test method can be used for the measurement of any potentially…
Water quality — Gross alpha and gross beta activity — Test method using thin source deposit
This document specifies a method for the determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentration for alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides. Gross alpha and gross beta activity measurement is not intended to give an absolute determination of the activity concentration of all alpha and beta emitting radionuclides in a test sample, but is a screening analysis to ensure particular…
Textiles — Determination of the aerobic biodegradation of textile materials in seawater by measuring...
This document specifies a laboratory test method for determining the aerobic biodegradability of fibres and textile materials in seawater by measuring the biochemical oxygen demand or the amount of carbon dioxide evolved. This method can be applied to fibres and textile materials (e.g. staples, tops, yarns and fabrics).
Coal — Froth flotation testing — Part 3: Release evaluation
ISO 8858-3:2004 describes a laboratory method for release evaluation of the froth flotation characteristics of hard coal, of particle size less than 0.5 mm. It is applicable to coal in powder form or in the form of a slurry.
To develop a list of standardised core terms and definitions to be used by ISO/TC 336 Laboratory Design to enable a consistent and unambiguous understanding of the standard's requirements and its practical application.
