This document specifies a field method for the assessment of the surface density of various water-soluble salts on steel surfaces, before and/or after surface preparation, by conductometric determination. The individual surface densities of the salt composition like chlorides, sulphates, sodium, etc, cannot be determined by this method. This method assesses only contaminants that forms an electrolyte (ions) when in contact with water. These represent the greater part of the contaminants.

 

This document gives guidance on a consistent approach to justify the claims associated with the use of plant biostimulants. This document is aimed primarily at manufacturers, laboratories, researchers, technical centres, and companies that intend to place plant biostimulants on the market, as well as notifying authorities, notified bodies, and market surveillance authorities. To be in compliance with this standard, it is important to also follow the recommendations and quality criteria described in the standard ISO 37700-1:2026on general principles to demonstrate plant biostimulant claims.

 

This document specifies the general principles for justifying the product claims for plant biostimulants. It is applicable to all claims and all types of application of plant biostimulants. General principles define all general parameters, requirements and quality criteria to be applied in order to assess trials conducted to validate the claim(s) associated with the use of a plant biostimulant. This document is aimed primarily at manufacturers, laboratories, researchers, technical centres and companies that intend to place plant biostimulants on the market, as well as notifying authorities, notified bodies, and market surveillance authorities.

This document specifies a method of extracting, for analysis, acid soluble contaminants from a surface by use of flexible cells in the form of adhesive patches or sleeves which can be attached to any surface, regardless of its shape (flat or curved) and its orientation (facing in any direction, including downwards). The described method is suitable for use in the field to determine the presence of acid soluble contaminants before painting or a similar treatment. This document does not cover the subsequent analysis of the contaminants that have been dissolved off. Methods of analysis suitable for field use are described in other parts of ISO 8502 such as ISO 8502-5. This document is similar in procedure to, but not equal to, ISO 8502-6. The main difference is the solvent used and the subsequent analysis that can be performed on the extraction solution.

 

This document gives guidance for the enumeration and/or detection of microorganisms present in a cosmetic product that is impregnated or coated onto a substrate (i.e. wipes and masks) where sampling and microbiological influence of the manufactured product presents particular challenges in terms of microbiological sampling and testing. The principle of this document can also be applied to test similar products (e.g. cushion, impregnated sponge, etc.) or applicators (e.g. brush, puff, sponge, etc.) with modification of the procedure as appropriate.
