Bitumens and bituminous binders - Determination of equi-shear modulus temperature and phase angle using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) - BTSV test

This document specifies the Binder Fast Characterization Test (for short: BTSV test, German: Bitumen-Typisierungs-Schnell-Verfahren). The test is conducted using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR). It is used to characterize bitumen and bituminous binders and to assess the deformation behaviour at high service temperatures. The test procedure described in this document covers the testing of paving grade bitumen or modified bitumen, as fresh (unused) binders, as well as binders after laboratory ageing conditioning (e.g. EN 12607-1, EN 14769), and also binders that have been recovered from asphalt mixtures. The test procedure in accordance with this document is not applicable for bituminous binders with particles larger than 250 μm (e.g. filler material, granulated rubber). NOTE The test procedure has not been applied on bituminous binders recovered from bitumen emulsions yet. The test determines the temperature and the associated phase angle at which a bituminous binder exhibits a defined complex shear modulus in stress-controlled oscillation mode at constant frequency and with continuous increase of the test temperature. WARNING - The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure that regulatory requirements are fulfilled prior to application of this document. This document involves handling of apparatus and binders at very high temperatures.

Inorganic fertilizers - Determination of the copper content in ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content

This document specifies a method for the determination of the copper content in ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content. This document is applicable to 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: inorganic fertilizers 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.

Water quality - Technetium-99- Part 1: Test method using liquid scintillation counting (ISO/DIS 22125-1:2026)

This document specifies a method for the measurement of 99Tc in all types of waters by liquid scintillation counting (LSC). The method is applicable to test samples of supply/drinking water, rainwater, surface and ground water, as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic, and industrial wastewater after proper sampling and handling, and test sample preparation. A filtration of the test sample is necessary. The detection limit depends on the sample volume and the instrument used. The method described in this document, using currently available LSC instruments, has a detection limit of approximately 5 Bq·kg−1 to 20 Bq·kg−1, which is lower than the WHO criteria for safe consumption of drinking water (100 Bq l−1)[3]. These values can be achieved with a counting time of 30 min for a sample volume varying between 14 ml to 40 ml. The method presented in this document is not intended for the determination of ultra-trace amount of 99Tc. The activity concentration values in this document are expressed by sample mass unit instead of sample volume unit as it is usually the case in similar standards. The reason is that 99Tc is measured in various matrix types such as fresh water or sea water, which have significant differences in density. The activity concentration values can be easily converted to sample volume unit by measuring the sample volume. However, it increases the uncertainty on the activity concentration result. The method described in this document is applicable in the event of an emergency situation, but not if 99mTc is present at quantities that could cause interference and not if 99mTc is used as a recovery tracer. The analysis of Tc adsorbed to suspended matter is not covered by this method. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for the water samples tested.

Non-destructive testing - Thermographic testing - Active thermography with inductive excitation

This document specifies a method and establishes guidelines for non-destructive testing using active thermography with inductive excitation. By using inductive heating of the test object, this active thermography method is suitable for inspecting test objects made of metals or other electrically conductive materials. Such tests are conducted for: - the detection of surface-breaking discontinuities, particularly cracks; and - the detection of discontinuities located near the surface. The functional principle of the defect detection can be based on a direct interaction of defect and excitation signal (defect selective) or an indirect interaction by using derivations of the applied heat flow. For this purpose, active thermography with inductive excitation is conducted using different sources of excitation (inductors) in reflection and transmission configurations. Areas tested in one shot are typically between a few cm2 and a few hundred cm2, depending on the geometry of the used inductor. In dynamic configuration, larger areas can be tested. Fields of application for active thermography with inductive excitation are to be found in industrial manufacturing and in maintenance (vehicle, drive system and power plant components, jointing technique, semi-finished products, etc.). Active thermography with inductive excitation is also called inductive thermography or eddy-current excited thermography.
