Measurement of radioactivity - Gamma ray and beta emitting radionuclides - Test method to assess the ease of decontamination of surface materials (ISO 8690:2024)

This document applies to the testing of surfaces that may become contaminated by radioactive materials. The ease of decontamination is a property of a surface and an important criterion for selecting surface materials used in the nuclear industry, interim storage or disposal facilities from which contamination can be removed easily and rapidly without damaging the surface. The test described in this document is a rapid laboratory-based method to compare the ease of decontamination of different surface materials. The results from the test can be one parameter to take into account when selecting surface coatings such as varnish or impervious layers such as ceramics and other surfaces. The radionuclides used in this test are those commonly found in the nuclear industry (137Cs, 134Cs and 60Co) in aqueous form. The test can also be adopted for use with other radionuclides and other chemical forms, depending on the customer requirements, if the solutions are chemically stable and do not corrode the test specimen. The test does not measure the ease of decontamination of the surface materials in practical use, as this depends on the radionuclide(s) present, their chemical form, the duration of exposure to the contaminant and the environmental conditions amongst other factors. The test method is not intended to describe general decontamination procedures or to assess the efficiency of decontamination procedures (see ISO 7503-1 to ISO 7503-3). The test method is not suitable for use of radiochemicals if the radionuclide emits low energy gamma rays or beta particles that are readily attenuated in the surface.

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.

Chimneys - Thermal and fluid dynamic calculation methods - Part 2: Chimneys serving more than one combustion appliance

This document specifies methods for calculation of the thermal and fluid dynamic characteristics of chimneys serving more than one combustion appliance. This part of prEN 13384 covers the following cases: a) where the chimney is connected with more than one connecting flue pipe from individual or several combustion appliances in a multi-inlet arrangement; b) where the chimney is connected with an individual connecting flue pipe connecting more than one combustion appliance in a cascade arrangement; or c) where the balanced flue chimney consists of a collective air supply duct serving the combustion air to more than one combustion appliance. Each combustion appliance is connected to an individual flue duct located inside the collective air supply duct to the outlet. Every individual flue duct has a temperature class not exceeding T120, a pressure class of P1, M1 or H1 and a sootfire class of O. The case of multiple inlet cascade arrangement is covered by the case a). This part of prEN 13384 deals with chimneys operating under negative pressure conditions (there can be positive pressure condition in the connecting flue pipe) and with chimneys operating under positive pressure conditions and is valid for chimneys serving combustion appliances for liquid, gaseous and solid fuels. For positive pressure chimneys (case a), b) and c)) this part only applies if any combustion appliance which is out of action can be positively isolated to prevent flue gas back flow. This part of EN 13384 does not apply to: - chimneys with different thermal resistance or different cross-section in the various chimney segments. This part does not apply to calculate energy gain; - chimneys with open fire places, e.g. open fire chimneys or chimney inlets which are normally intended to operate open to the room; - chimneys which serve different kinds of combustion appliances regarding natural draught, fan assisted, forced draught or combustion engine. Fan assisted combustion appliances with draught diverter between the fan and the chimney are considered as natural draught combustion appliances; - chimneys with multiple inlets from more than 5 storeys. (This does not apply to balanced flue chimney.); - chimneys serving combustion appliances with open air supply through ventilation openings or air supply ducts, which are not installed in the same air supply pressure region (e.g. same side of building).

Inorganic fertilizers - Determination of the organic carbon content by dry combustion

This document specifies a method for the determination of total organic carbon content by elemental analysis using dry combustion. The method is applicable to inorganic fertilizers containing more than 0,1 % carbon expressed on dry mass. NOTE This method can also be applied to other types of fertilizers, provided the user has verified the applicability. This document is applicable to the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: inorganic fertilizers, organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants and where the following category: inorganic fertilizer is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If inorganic 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.

Additive manufacturing - Qualification principles - Part 1: Common failure modes used for process risk mapping (ISO/ASTM DIS 52954-1:2026)

This document identifies common failure modes, which can occur within operations across additive manufacturing (AM) process categories defined in ISO/ASTM 52900. It lists state-of-the-art failure modes, which can lead to risks within AM parts and equipment, as well as providing informative examples of corresponding failure effects and mitigation actions. This document can be used to aid manufacturers in their risk management. While doing so it supports the implementation of AM as a production method within critical applications and regulated industries. This document helps to address the requirements for risk management set by regulated industries for part and production method compliance. Technology specific failure modes will be addressed in separate standards, including but not limited to PBF-LB/M, PBF-LB/P, MEX, MJT, BJT, and DED. This document aims to close the existing gap between general risk management standards, such as ISO 31000 or ISO 14971 (medical), and the know-how gap of existing failure modes of the AM process category and their integrated workflow. The standard maps risks according to AM processes defined within ISO/ASTM 52920. This document does not cover environment, health and safety risks and will not measure, assess, or evaluate the risk impact on the AM part to be produced. It does not list the part specific input and output parameters, during the respective process steps. This task is dedicated to the risk management evaluation teams, which usually comprise quality managers and product domain specific experts. The document enables all part owners and manufacturers to use it for the risk mapping activities, to support subsequent risk assessments, continuous improvement, validation planning, estimation of manufacturing efforts, and conformity audits. For risk examples that are relevant only to specific AM machinery brands, manufacturers might consider use of the informative annex.
