Grid integration of large-capacity Renewable Energy sources and use of large-capacity Electrical Ene...
The proportion of Renewable Energies is likely to increase in all major electricity markets. Their large scale incorporation into existing electricity grids will be complex, and their successful integration will likely depend on large-capacity Electrical Energy Storage.
This White Paper’s primary goal is to provide a global view on the state of the art and future directions for grid…
Chemical sterilization of reusable medical devices in health care facilities
Scope
1.1
This Standard specifies essential elements in implementing a program for using chemicals to sterilize medical devices in health care facilities. Such chemicals can be vapour, gaseous, or liquid and are delivered in validated concentrations and quantities in defined sterilizers.
The body of this Standard contains requirements that are common to all chemical sterilization processes,…
The need for Electrical Energy Storage (EES) will increase significantly over the coming years. With the growing penetration of wind and solar, surplus energy could be captured to help reduce generation costs and increase energy supply.
EES will play an important role in maintaining a continuous and flexible power supply, while balancing the grid, integrating remote and distributed energy…
Radio data system (RDS) - Receiver products and characteristics - Methods of measurement
IEC 62634:2011 describes how to measure minimum RDS receiver performance requirements which concern three RDS receiver product categories. It should be noted that there are also RDS receiver products on the market that significantly out-perform the minimum RDS receiver performance requirements quoted. Methods and algorithms to achieve automatic programme service-following by means of AF lists are…
Effective sterilization in health care facilities by the steam process
Scope
1.1
This Standard specifies essential elements in implementing a program for using steam to sterilize medical devices in health care facilities, with the object of achieving an adequate level of sterility assurance and minimizing the risk of injury to health care facility personnel and patients.
Notes:
(1) The term "health care facility" includes, but is not limited to, hospitals…
Effective sterilization in health care facilities by the ethylene oxide process
Scope
1.1
This Standard specifies essential elements in implementing a program for using ethylene oxide to sterilize medical devices in health care facilities, with the object of achieving an adequate level of sterility assurance and minimizing the risk of injury to health care facility personnel and patients.
Notes:
(1) The term "health care facility" includes, but is not limited to,…
Information technology — Coding of audio-visual objects — Part 9: Reference hardware description
The main goal of ISO/IEC TR 14496-9:2008 is to facilitate a more widespread use of the MPEG-4 standard.
Design methodologies of the EDA industry have evolved from schematics to Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) to address the needs of the vast number of gates available on a single device. The increased number of gates allowed more elaborate algorithms to be deployed but also required a shift…

1 Scope
1.1
This Standard provides requirements for public-use playspaces and play equipment intended for use by children aged 18 months to 12 years with anthropometric limits based on the 95th percentile.
Notes:
1) The level of challenge required and desired by children varies enormously with age, physical development, and emotional development. Consequently, it is almost impossible to design…
"International Standardization as a Strategic Tool", comprising the commended papers from the IEC Centenary Challenge. The IEC Centenary Challenge was a competition for papers on the economic, business and social impact of International Standards on business. It was organized in association with The Economist magazine and in partnership with three leading professional engineering bodies…
