Paper and board - Sampling to determine average quality (ISO/DIS 186:2026)

This Iinternational Standard specifies a method of obtaining a representative sample from a lot of paper or board, including solid and corrugated fibreboard (see ISO 4046:1978), for testing to determine whether or not its average quality complies with set specifications. It defines the conditions which apply when sampling is carried out to resolve disputes between buyer and seller relating to a defined lot of paper or board, which has been or is being delivered. NOTE If less than 50 % of the lot is available for sampling, then sampling in terms of this International Standard will be invalid in the absence of agreement to the contrary. The method is unsuitable for determining the variability within a lot. In cases where International Standards make reference to sampling according to this standard but where such sampling is impossible, impractical or inappropriate, and where no dispute is involved, guidance is given in normative annex A.

Railway Applications - Requirements for software development

The amendment will address misunderstandings on provisions for AI/ML by providing additional guidance and clarifications without changing the fundamental technical requirements and recommendations of the standard. The amendment and its limitation to broadly editorial changes is based on following considerations: • Limited Standardization for AI: While AI/ML holds promise for various applications, current standardization efforts specific to AI/ML in safety-critical domains like railway are still in their early stages. This lack of mature and widely accepted standards for verifying and validating AI/ML systems in these contexts makes it challenging to reference or directly incorporate such technologies into the scope of EN 50716 (with less restrictive provisions) at this time. • Promoting Flexibility and Innovation: By clarifying the existing provisions and adding guidance without imposing new requirements, the amendment allows for flexibility and encourages developers to explore the potential of AI/ML (where is safe to do so). The following areas have already been identified by WG28 for the amendment: • Explicitly remind the scope of Table A.3: State that the table's techniques and measures are primarily intended for the design of the software architecture for safety-related functions (e.g. does not strictly apply to support tools). • Provide guidance on AI/ML usage: Explicitly acknowledge the potential of AI/ML in non-safety-critical areas and offer examples of possible applications (complementary to current recommendation for Basic Integrity, “-”, in Table A.3 for 13. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning). • Guidance on Support Tools: Ensure a consistent understanding of the AI/ML provisions related to support tools (& programming languages). This represent current view on potential changes - other areas may be identified during the amendment drafting, keeping into account the above mentioned limitations to broadly editorial changes.

Eurocode 8 - Design of structures for earthquake resistance - Part 1-1: General rules and seismic action

1.1 Scope of EN 1998-1-1 (1) This document is applicable to the design and verification of buildings and other structures for earthquake resistance. It gives general rules relevant to all types of structures, except for structures belonging to consequence classes CC0 or CC4. NOTE For further details on consequence class CC4, see 4.2. (2) This document provides basic performance requirements and compliance criteria applicable to buildings and other structures for earthquake resistance. (3) This document gives rules for the representation of seismic actions and the description of the design seismic situations. NOTE Certain types of structures, dealt with in other parts of Eurocode 8, need supplementary rules which are given in those relevant Parts. (4) This document contains general methods for structural analysis and verification under seismic actions, including base-isolated structures and structures with distributed dissipative systems. (5) This document contains rules for modelling and verification of ultimate strengths and deformations. 1.2 Assumptions (1) The assumptions of EN 1990 apply to this document. (2) It is assumed that no change in the structure and in the masses carried by the structure takes place during the construction phase or during the subsequent life of the structure with respect to the design unless proper justification and verification is provided. This applies also to ancillary elements (see 3.1.2). Due to the specific nature of seismic response, this applies even in the case of changes that lead to an increase of the structural resistance. (3) The design documents are assumed to indicate the geometry, the detailing, and the properties of the materials of all structural members. If appropriate, the design documents are also assumed to include the properties of special devices to be used and the distances between structural and ancillary elements. The necessary quality control provisions are assumed to be specified. (4) Members of special structural importance requiring special checking during construction are assumed to be identified in the design documents and the verification methods to be used are assumed to be specified. (5) It is assumed that in the case of high seismic action class (4.1.1(4)), formal quality system plans, covering design, construction, and use, additional to the control procedures prescribed in the other relevant Eurocodes, are specified.
