Advanced technical ceramics - Thermomechanical properties of monolithic ceramics - Part 5: Determination of elastic moduli at elevated temperatures

This part of EN 820 describes methods for determining the elastic moduli, specifically Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio, of advanced monolithic technical ceramics at temperatures above room temperature. The standard prescribes three alternative methods for determining some or all of these three parameters: A the determination of Young's modulus by static flexure of a thin beam in three- or four-point bending. B the determination of Young's modulus by forced longitudinal resonance, or Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio by forced flexural and torsional resonance, of a thin beam. C the determination of Young's modulus from the fundamental natural frequency of a struck bar (impulse excitation method). This part of EN 820 extends the above-defined room-temperature methods described in EN 843-2 to elevated temperatures. All the test methods assume the use of homogeneous test pieces of linear elastic materials. The test assumes that the test piece has isotropic elastic properties. At high porosity levels all of the methods can become inappropriate. The maximum grain size (see EN 623-3), excluding deliberately added whiskers, should be less than 10 % of the minimum dimension of the test piece. NOTE 1 Method C in EN 843-2 based on ultrasonic time of flight measurement has not been incorporated into this part of EN 820. Although the method is feasible to apply, it is specialised, and outside the capabilities of most laboratories. There are also severe restrictions on test piece geometries and methods of achieving pulse transmission. For these reasons this method has not been included in EN 820-5. NOTE 2 The upper temperature limit for this test depends on the properties of the test pieces, and can be limited by softening within the timescale of the test. In addition, for method A there can be limits defined by the choice of test jig construction materials.

Advanced technical ceramics - Mechanical properties of monolithic ceramics at room temperature - Part 2: Determination of Young's modulus, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio

This part of EN 843 specifies methods for determining the elastic moduli, specifically Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio, of advanced monolithic technical ceramics at room temperature. This European Standard prescribes four alternative methods for determining some or all of these three parameters: A The determination of Young’s modulus by static flexure of a thin beam in three- or four-point flexure. B The determination of Young’s modulus by forced longitudinal resonance, or Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio by forced flexural and torsional resonance, of a thin beam. C The determination of Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio from the time-of-flight of an ultrasonic pulse. D The determination of Young’s modulus from the fundamental natural frequency of a struck bar (impulse excitation method). All the test methods assume the use of homogeneous test pieces of linear elastic materials. NOTE 1 Not all ceramic materials are equally and linearly elastic in tension and compression, such as some porous materials and some piezoelectric materials. With the exception of Method C, the test assumes that the test piece has isotropic elastic properties. Method C may be used to determine the degree of anisotropy by testing in different orientations. NOTE 2 An ultrasonic method for dealing with anisotropic materials (ceramic matrix composites) can be found in ENV 14186 (see Bibliography). An alternative to Method D for isotropic materials using disc test pieces is given in Annex A. NOTE 3 At high porosity levels all of the methods except Method C can become inappropriate. The methods are only suitable for a maximum grain size (see EN 623-3), excluding deliberately added whiskers, of less than 10 % of the minimum dimension of the test piece. NOTE 4 The different methods given in this European Standard can produce slightly different results on the same material owing to differences between quasi-isothermal quasi-static an

Stationary source emissions - Determination of the mass concentration of PCDDs/PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs - Part 5: Long-term sampling of PCDDs/PCDFs/PCBs

This document specifies the long-term sampling of PCDDs/PCDFs/PCBs. There are three different sampling methods, which are based on the three different principles described in EN 1948-1, but partially modified for long-term sampling requirements: — filter/condenser method; — dilution method; — cooled probe method. Each sampling method is illustrated in detail in Annex D. The sampling methods described in this document are designed for a sampling duration of typically up to four weeks. Additionally, this document specifies a framework of quality control requirements for any long-term sampling method. With the methods described, experiences were gained for a concentration range up to 4,0 ng TEQ/m3 at various stationary sources (e.g. waste incinerators, sinter plants, cement kilns). For complete implementation of the measurement method, the use of EN 1948-2 and EN 1948-3 describing extraction, clean-up, identification, and quantification, respectively, is necessary in order to determine PCDDs/PCDFs. Additionally, EN 1948-4 is necessary for PCBs.

Paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs - Determination of colour fastness of dyed paper and board

This document describes procedures for the testing of dyed paper and board intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Some procedures depending on the foreseeable use of the material are given. Visual evaluation against a grey scale provides grading of the bleeding. For samples having significant different sides, a migration can occur from one glass fibre to the other and could lead to wrong interpretation of the fastness of one side. It is advisable to check these samples using large sampling procedure to prevent cross contamination of the glass fibre during the migration procedure. The procedure is described in Annex A. If lower limit of detection is required, this procedure could also be used.

Plastics — Intrinsic biodegradability — Criteria and test methods

This document defines test methods and criteria for distinguishing intrinsically biodegradable plastic materials from those that are persistent. Biodegradability is inferred from biodegradation tests conducted under aerobic conditions, i.e. under the conditions typically found in most natural habitats. Plastics that undergo ultimate biodegradation under aerobic conditions in a manner similar to natural polymer materials are defined as biodegradable plastics. This document describes a method for distinguishing between non-biodegradable plastics, which do not biodegrade even when environmental conditions are favourable for biodegradation (including aerobic conditions), and biodegradable plastics, i.e. those that biodegrade upon contact with active microorganisms when environmental conditions are favourable for biodegradation. The aim is to demonstrate ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials, i.e. the intrinsic potential for conversion to carbon dioxide, water and biomass by aerobic microorganisms in an oxygen-rich environment, which is representative of most natural environments. The potential for biodegradation should be verified using alternative tests and criteria, if a deposition in a permanent anaerobic environment (e.g. deep subsurface environments, wetlands and swamps, anoxic zones in oceans and lakes) is expected. NOTE Currently, there are no methodologies or criteria available to verify accumulation due to the lack of biodegradation of plastics in such anaerobic habitats. The plastic materials identified as intrinsically biodegradable following this document can be used in the design of products with a high risk of dispersion whenever the use of biodegradable components is searched by the designer. Intrinsically non-biodegradable components are not susceptible to biodegradation and therefore cannot be removed from the environment by the action of micro-organisms. This factor tends to increase the residence time of products in the environment. In addition, their eventual degradation, mainly due to abiotic factors, results in persistent fragments (microplastics). The test scheme described in this document is not specific to any particular application. Rather, it is a framework methodology that can be used in different industries to identify biodegradable plastics that can be used to make different types of products and for different applications. For the characterisation and environmental assessment of products placed on the market containing plastics identified as biodegradable according to this document, reference is made to the specific product standards, where available. This document only deals with the definition of intrinsic biodegradability of plastic materials, without defining the hazard of the products, which requires a specific assessment that is beyond the scope of this document. The rate of biodegradation of a plastic object as a function of environmental conditions cannot be determined from this document. Therefore, this document is not sufficient to carry out an analysis of the ecological risk associated with the dispersal of products, as this requires an assessment of the intrinsic hazard, of the environmental fate, in addition to the assessment of biodegradability. The methodology described in this document does not apply to applications covered by mandatory regulations.

Fume cupboards — Part 9: Fume cupboards, ducted with filtered internal recirculation

This document specifies characteristics concerning the design and performance requirements together with type testing and on-site testing procedures especially for ducted filtration fume cupboards (DFFCs) not described in the other parts of EN 14175. Filters in DFFCs can be specific filters or a combination of filters dependent on the characteristics of the contaminants to be removed. This part of EN 14175 is related to and refers to other parts of EN 14175 regarding definitions, technologies, testing methodologies, design factors and functional aspects and is read in conjunction with these. This standard covers the specific layout version of ducted fume cupboards with integral filtration. These devices called ducted filtration fume cupboards can be designed to partially reuse filtered air for internal dilution. Therefore, the term “hybrid” fume cupboards is sometimes used. Fume cupboards with associated filters are considered as standard fume cupboards according EN 14175 1 to EN 14175 3. NOTE Their filter requirements, description and testing are listed in Annex A for information. The requirements for fume cupboards and filters for radioactive work are described in detail in EN 14175 8. Recirculatory filtration fume cabinets which return the filtered exhaust air back into the surrounding room are not part of this document but described in prEN 17242. DFFCs are not foreseen for work with pathogens. Appropriate microbiological cabinets are described in the EN 12469 series.
