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.
Sludge recovery, recycling, treatment and disposal — Protocol for validating methods for physical pr...
This international standard is intended to provide a protocol for the interlab validation of methods for the characterization of sludge/biosolids physical properties considered that in most cases fresh sludge samples cannot be circulated to several laboratories in different countries for validation purposes as uncontrolled variations of their characteristics would occur.
Fans — Determination of fan sound power levels under standardized laboratory conditions — Part 2: Re...
ISO 13347-2:2004 gives a detailed description of reverberant room methods for the determination of fan sound power levels. It is for use under standardized laboratory conditions and recognises that tests in situ are subject to increased uncertainty. These test procedures are not necessarily appropriate to site test conditions. Acoustic system effects are presently the subject of considerable…
Microbiology of the food chain — Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the detection of ...
This standard would provide general requirements and guidance for the development and application of LAMP-based methods for the detection of microorganisms and associated genetic markers sampled along the food chain (e.g., ingredients, human food, animal food, and the production environment), and includes sample preparation, isothermal amplification, signal detection, data interpretation, and…
Healthcare organization management — Guidance for healthcare organizations’ response to the surging ...
This document provides guidance and considerations for healthcare organizations to deliver diagnostic tests timely and accurately in a pandemic by leveraging innovative approaches to overcome the limitations of laboratory capacity as follows:
– mitigating threats encountered in providing diagnostic services during a pandemic;
– consideration for quality assurance of diagnostic service provision…
Protective clothing for firefighters — Laboratory test methods and performance requirements for wild...
This document specifies methods of test and minimum performance requirements for personal protective clothing, designed to protect the wearer's body, except for the head, hands, and feet, that is worn during wildland firefighting and associated activities. This clothing is not intended to provide protection during fire entrapment. This document covers the general design of the garment, the…
