ISO/TR 11371:2013 gives guidelines for the laboratory refining of various pulps intended for paper production including unifying terms and parameters for the simulation of industrial refining processes and laboratory refiners; treating pulp samples in a (semi) continuous operation in contrast to quasi-stationary laboratory beating equipment such as the PFI mill or Valley Hollander; evaluation of…
Nuclear criticality safety — Estimation of the number of fissions of a postulated criticality accide...
ISO 16117:2013 provides a methodology to estimate a reasonably maximal value of the number of fissions of a postulated criticality accident.
The fission number estimate, associated with its postulated criticality accident, impacts the accident emergency planning and response because it is used for the estimation of radiation doses and of radioactive materials release.
ISO 16117:2013 does apply to…

ISO 18589-7:2013 is suitable to rapidly assess the activity of artificial and natural radionuclides deposited on or present in soil layers of large areas of a site under investigation…
Reciprocating internal combustion engines — Measurement method for exhaust silencers — Sound power l...
ISO 15619:2013 specifies the measurement method and requirements for exhaust silencers which is installed on reciprocating internal combustion engines, including laboratory measurement and site measurement.
Overhead lines - Methods for testing self-damping characteristics of conductors
IEC 62567:2013 provides test procedures based on the documents mentioned in the introduction and devoted to minimize the causes of discrepancy between test results, taking into consideration the large experience accumulated in the last 30 years by numerous test engineers and available in literature, including a CIGRE Technical Brochure specifically referring to this standard (see Bibliography).…
Water quality — Radon-222 — Part 1: General principles
ISO 13164-1:2013 gives general guidelines for sampling, packaging, and transporting of all kinds of water samples, for the measurement of the activity concentration of radon-222.
The test methods fall into two categories: a) direct measurement of the water sample without any transfer of phase (see ISO 13164‑2); b) indirect measurement involving the transfer of the radon-222 from the aqueous phase…
Water quality — Radon-222 — Part 2: Test method using gamma-ray spectrometry
ISO 13164-2:2013 specifies a test method for the determination of radon-222 activity concentration in a sample of water following the measurement of its short-lived decay products by direct gamma-spectrometry of the water sample.
The radon-222 activity concentrations, which can be measured by this test method utilizing currently available gamma-ray instruments, range from a few becquerels per…
Water quality — Radon-222 — Part 3: Test method using emanometry
ISO 13164-3:2013 specifies a test method for the determination of radon-222 activity concentration in a sample of water following its transfer from the aqueous phase to the air phase by degassing and its detection. It gives recommendations for rapid measurements performed within less than 1 h.
The radon-222 activity concentrations, which can be measured by this test method utilizing currently…
Plastics — Methods of exposure to laboratory light sources — Part 3: Fluorescent UV lamps
ISO 4892-3:2013 specifies methods for exposing specimens to fluorescent UV radiation, heat and water in apparatus designed to simulate the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed in actual end-use environments to global solar radiation, or to solar radiation through window glass.
The specimens are exposed to fluorescent UV lamps under controlled environmental conditions (…
Packaging — Transport packaging for dangerous goods — Plastics compatibility testing for packaging a...
ISO 13274:2013 specifies the requirements and test methods for compatibility testing of plastics packagings/Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) and composite packagings/IBCs with plastics inners containing liquids. The testing involves storage with the liquid to be transported. For polyethylene-based packaging, testing with a standard liquid as defined in The European Agreement concerning the…
