This document establishes minimum performance, classification, and labelling requirements for gloves worn by operators and re-entry workers handling pesticide products to protect the hands or hands and forearms against contact with those products. Gloves covered by this document include gloves made with elastomeric and polymeric materials in the areas that provide protection. This document does not address protection against fumigants. This document needs to be used in conjunction with ISO 21420.

 

This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for virucidal activity of chemical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water – or in the case of ready-to-use products – with water. This document is applicable to products that are used in the medical area for disinfecting non-porous surfaces including surfaces of medical devices by wiping or mopping – regardless if they are covered by the Medical Device Regulation [1] or not. Due to the new methods of application of surface disinfectants like pre-impregnated wipes this document was established to cover the different application methods. This document is applicable for four methods of application of products for wiping and/or mopping: a) soaking any non-specified wipe or mop with product; b) spraying the product on any non-specified wipe and / or mop or a specified wipe or mop; c) impregnation of specified wipes or mops by the user with the product according to the manufacturer’s recommendation; d) pre-impregnation of specified wipes or mops by the manufacturer as ready-to-use wipes or mops. In all types of application the water control has to be conducted with the standard wipe (5.3.2.17 a), because it is process or method control. The contact time for the water control is no longer than 5 min. This document does not apply to products that are sprayed on or used for flooding of surfaces, without wiping or mopping during the contact time. In this case, the methods of phase 2/ step 2 without mechanical action apply. The test-surface (5.3.2.16) was selected as a standard surface and should cover all non-porous surfaces. It was not intended to cover the influence of each different surface. This document is applicable to areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example: — in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions; — in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes; and can occur in the workplace and in the home. It can also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patients. NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test. EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use recommendations”.

 

This document specifies the terms, definitions, methodologies, and calculations that are required for the physical recycling and recovery of plastic waste. The document also defines the different types of physical recycling technologies used in the recovery and recycling of plastics waste sourced from post-industrial and post-consumer waste streams. The general requirements, process stages from “input “to “output” that should be considered in evaluating different types of physical recycling methodologies are described in the document which may be useful for any plastics waste processor or recycler. Further, this document gives guidance on the general process and quality requirements to be considered at all stages of the recovery process and provides general recommendations for inclusion in material standards, test standards and product specifications. This document provides guidelines for all types, technologies of physical recycling, currently in practice which are characterized by processes that include the selective dissolution, delamination, extraction or precipitation of plastic waste without intentional changes to its chemical structure. The process stages, requirements, recommendations, and terminology presented in this document are intended to be of general applicability.

 

This document specifies general requirements for the measurement of viruses in workplace air. This document complements the scope of EN 13098. The document provides guidelines for the assessment of workplace exposure to airborne viruses comprising the methodology for sampling as well as for analysis, which is applicable for both, active or inactive viruses, e.g. methods based on cell-culture or molecular biology. This document is not applicable for the measurement of other microorganisms than viruses and microbial compounds.

 

Applicable to test pieces cut from products of cellular materials. Useful for two purposes: a) studying the structure of cellular products in connection with their physical properties and their method of manufacture and b) ensuring product quality (quality assurance). Describes principle, apparatus, test piece and conditions, procedure and calculation and expression of the results. Three figures deliver the details for testing.

 

This document establishes a common basis for planning and design, area and space management, financial assessment, as well as a tool for benchmarking in the life cycle of the built asset. This document covers area and space measurement for existing owned or leased buildings as well as buildings in state of planning or development. This document establishes a framework to deal with area and space measurement to promote both the entire life cycle information requirements and the digital technologies used by the industry. In addition, it defines clear terms and definitions as well as methods for measuring horizontal areas and volumes in buildings and/or parts of buildings, independent of their function.

 

This document establishes a vocabulary of terms and semantics for all fields of respiratory care involving mechanical ventilation, such as intensive-care ventilation, anaesthesia ventilation, emergency and transport ventilation and home-care ventilation, including sleep-apnoea breathing-therapy equipment. It is applicable — in lung ventilator and breathing-therapy device standards, — in health informatics standards, — for labelling on medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems, — in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical system instructions for use and accompanying documents, — for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems interoperability, and — in electronic health records. This document is also applicable to those accessories intended by their manufacturer to be connected to a ventilator breathing system or to a ventilator, where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the basic safety or essential performance of the ventilator and ventilator breathing system. NOTE This document can also be used for other applications relating to lung ventilation, including non-electrical devices and equipment, research, description of critical events, forensic analysis and adverse event (vigilance) reporting systems. This document does not specify terms specific to breathing-therapy equipment, or to physiologic closed-loop ventilation, high-frequency ventilation or negative-pressure ventilation; nor to respiratory support using liquid ventilation or extra-corporeal gas exchange, or oxygen, except where it has been considered necessary to establish boundaries between bordering concepts.

 

This International Standard specifies two test methods for evaluating the antimicrobial activity of products to be marketed for contact lens disinfection by chemical means and for products that are part of a contact lens care regimen. This International Standard is not applicable to the hygienic management of trial lenses. NOTE General disinfection product standards are not applicable to contact lens care products, e.g. EN 1040:1997 and EN 1275:1997.

 

 

This part of EN 196 describes the method for the determination of the compressive and, optionally, the flexural strength of cement mortar. The method applies to common cements and to other cements and materials, the standards for which call up this method. It may not apply to other cement types that have, for example, a very short initial setting time. The method is used for assessing whether the compressive strength of cement is in conformity with its specification and for validation testing of a CEN Standard sand, EN 196 1, or alternative compaction equipment. This part of EN 196 describes the reference equipment and procedure and allows alternative compaction equipment and procedures to be used provided that they have been validated in accordance with the appropriate provisions in this document. In the event of a dispute, only the reference equipment and procedure are used.
