Organic and organo-mineral fertilizers - Determination of the total content of specific elements by ICP-AES after digestion by aqua regia

This document specifies a method for the determination of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni)), boron (B), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S) and sodium (Na) in aqua regia digests of organic, organo-mineral fertilizers, and their fertilizing product blends using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). It is applicable and validated for several types of matrices as indicated in Annex A. This document is applicable to the component materials “by-products”, when used as components of fertilizing products, as well as the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where the following category: organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If the organic fertilizer or the organo-mineral fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible. This method is applicable to aqua regia digests prepared according to prEN 17768. NOTE Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be used for the determination of the elements in the aqua regia digests if the user proves that the method gives the same results.

Road and airfield surface characteristics - Test methods - Part 4: Method for measurement of slip/skid resistance of a surface: The pendulum test

This document describes a method for determining the slip/skid resistance of a surface using a device which remains stationary at the test location. The slip/skid resistance is measured by means of a slider mounted at the end of a pendulum arm. The method provides a measure of the slip/skid resistance properties of a wetted surface either in the field or in the laboratory. This method measures the slip/skid resistance of a small area of a surface (approximately 0,01 m2). It is important to consider this when deciding its applicability to a surface which might have nonhomogeneous surface characteristics, e.g. containing ridges or grooves, or is rough textured (exceeding 1,5 mm mean texture depth).

Foodstuffs - Detection of food allergens by molecular biological methods - Part 6: Wheat (Triticum L.) and Rye (Secale cereale) - Qualitative detection of a specific DNA sequence in cooked sausages by real-time PCR

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of DNA of the general wheat and rye in cooked sausages using real-time PCR based on the glutenin gene, in the context of allergen analyses. This document does not apply to differentiating between wheat (Triticum L.) and rye (Secale cereale). The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial). The limit of detection of the wheat and rye real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be around 80 mg wheat or rye per kg for the matrix ‘cooked sausage’. For autoclaved material the detection limit can increase significantly.

Cybersecurity requirements for platforms of smartcards and similar devices including secure elements

The products with digital elements in the scope of this document are the platforms of smartcards and similar devices including secure elements, which consist of a tamper-resistant MCU/MPU and optionally an application environment or operating system. Platforms are designed to store and process sensitive data, and to protect it against physical and logical attacks by attackers with significant resources and skills, at AVA_VAN.4 (moderate attack potential) or AVA_VAN.5 (high attack potential) levels. Although platforms do not delegate data processing to remote entities, these can be involved in operations such as software update, configuration or key provisioning. The platform ensures the authentication of the remote entities before receiving/sending sensitive information and ensures this information is protected during the exchange. Platforms are intended for final products including, but not limited to, electronic identity cards, removable UICCs, eUICC, payment cards, physical access cards, digital tachograph cards or wrist bands with integrated payment secure elements, trust anchors in connected digital products and critical IT systems. This document defines technical requirements for platforms, which meet the essential requirements defined in Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 to the extent described in Annex ZZ. It also defines the methods for assessing the technical requirements. The expression of the technical requirements and the assessment methods use the Common Criteria (CC) formalism defined in the EN ISO/IEC 15408 series and EN ISO/IEC 18045:2023 supplemented by the EUCC state-of-the-art documents for the technical domain smart cards and similar devices. This document covers platforms conformant with the Protection Profiles (PPs) PP0084, PP0117, PP0104 and PP TPM, and identifies the gaps of these specifications against the CRA essential requirements. In this document, PP0104 also refers to the PP0104-based PP-Configuration 0107. The evaluation of platforms against PP0084, PP0117, PP0104 or PP TPM plus the applicable additional technical requirements which cover their gaps allow to demonstrate conformance with the CRA essential requirements. The technical requirements and the mappings against PP0084, PP0117, PP0104 and PP TPM are defined in Clause 7 and Annex B, respectively. This document also covers platforms consisting of a hardware layer and either an application environment, e.g. Java Card platform, or firmware/software. Annex C contains an informative mapping of Java Card platforms towards PP0099. Platforms can have discrete, integrated or embedded form factors, and employ technologies such as integrated circuits, programmable macros or system-in-package or system-on-chip. These do not affect the requirements or the assessment methods. Unless specified, clauses apply to all platforms, from pure hardware to platforms consisting of hardware, firmware and/or software. Platforms are accompanied by guidance which contains all the requirements and recommendations for the secure integration of the platform into further intermediate or final products and the secure usage of the platform by the external entities. The guidance covers all the non-platform aspects which can impact the security of the platform assets. The applications stored and/or running on the platforms, which are an integral part of the final products, are outside the scope of this document. prEN 18330:2026 applies to products composed of a platform and a set of applications.
