Plastics - Determination of the viscosity of polymers in dilute solution using capillary viscometers - Part 3: Polyethylenes and polypropylenes (ISO/DIS 1628-3:2026)

This part of ISO 1628 defines particular conditions for determining the reduced viscosity (also known as viscosity number) and intrinsic viscosity of polyethylenes and polypropylenes at elevated temperatures (135 °C – 160 °C) in dilute solution. The viscosity of polymer solutions can be affected by fillers or additives present in the sample. The value of a reduced viscosity determined by this method can therefore be unreliable if the sample contains fillers or other additives. NOTE Reduced viscosity is also known as the Staudinger function ( Jv) and intrinsic viscosity as the Staudinger index ( Jg).

Customer Data Access and Portability in the Insurance Sector – Part 1: Semantic interface and data model

Article 20 GDPR and Article 4 and 5 the proposed FIDA Regulation require the data access and portability of customer data. To support this demand CEN/TC 445 will organise the standardisation project with its Working Group 1 in which the following European standardisation deliverable will be developed. European Standard (EN) for the semantic specification of the interfaces The scope of this EN for customer (natural or legal person) data access and portability in the insurance sector should be based on the insurance-specific part of the proposed FIDA Regulation and therefore should contain: • Semantic specifications for the processes to support the data access and portability. These specifications define on the business level the functions and the behaviour for the following process interfaces: - Request of the customer to the data holder for an actual transfer of the customer data (Article 4 FIDA). - Transfer of the requested customer data from the data holder to the requesting customer (Article 4 FIDA). - Request of a data user to a data holder for an actual transfer of customer data under a permission of the customer (Article 5 FIDA). - Transfer of the requested customer data from the data holder to the requesting data user (Article 5 FIDA). • Sematic specifications for the customer data to be transferred by the above processes. The scope of the customer data will be limited to the insurance-specific part of the FIDA proposal defined in the Article 2 (1) and Article 3 (3) of FIDA. These specifications define on the business level each element of the customer data with identification, name, precise definition, and value type (text, number, amount, quantity, percentage, date, etc.). The composition of these data elements forms a semantic data model for the insurance-specific customer data. The data model will consist of the following parts: - General data of the policy holder (including address, contact details, profession, payment means, etc.). - General data of the insurance policy (including policy number, insurance product and coverages, insured period, premium amounts, etc.). - Data specific to the consumers’ insured assets which are collected for the purposes of a demands and needs test. - Data depending on class of business, such as - Motor insurance (details about vehicle, usage, drivers), - Property insurance (details about building, household or other objects), - Liability insurance (details about insured persons and their activities), - Accident insurance (details about insured persons and their activities), - Insurance-based investment products (details about insured persons and the savings, investments, pension rights, etc.). The EN specifies the processes and the data model on the semantic level in a syntax-neutral format, independent from its representation in a concrete implementation syntax.

Devices to prevent pollution by backflow of potable water - Unrestricted air gap-Family A - Type A

This document specifies the characteristics and the requirements of unrestricted air gap Family A, Type A for nominal flow velocity not exceeding 3 m/s. Air gaps are devices for protection of potable water in water installations from pollution by backflow. This document applies to air gaps in factory-assembled products and to constructed air gaps in situ and specifies requirements and methods to verify and ensure compliance with this document during normal working use. The fluid in the receiving vessel is assumed to have similar properties to the water supply. Where this is not the case, additional care or tests could be required to verify the efficacy of the solution in practical use. The AA device is intended to be used in potable water installations according to EN 806 (series). Sanitary tapware when installed onto a receiving vessel (e.g. washbasin etc.) might have some restriction of its overflow. This will not compromise the water supply as the tapware might have an air gap, as detailed for example in EN 200 (dimension E), that provides an air gap disconnection. If this is the case, then backflow protection will be assumed to be adequate, and no further testing/verification will be needed.

Granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments - Leaching - Compliance test for leaching - Part 2: One-stage batch test at a liquid-to-solid ratio of 10L/kg for materials with particle size below 4 mm (with or without size reduction)

This document in the series specifies a compliance test providing information on leaching of granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments under the experimental conditions specified hereafter, and particularly a liquid to solid ratio of 10 L/kg dry matter. It applies to materials which have a particle size below 4 mm without or with size reduction. This document has been developed to investigate the leaching of inorganic and non-volatile organic substances from granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments. It does not take into account the consequences of microbiological processes in organic degradable materials. The test procedure specified in this document produces an eluate which is subsequently characterized physically and chemically according to appropriate standard methods. This document includes two different procedures for eluate preparation prior to analysis, one procedure for non-volatile organic substances, inorganic substances and DOC and one for inorganic substances and DOC. When assessing only the leaching of inorganic substances and DOC, certain precautions are needed when assessing the leaching of organic substances can in some cases be omitted. This procedure cannot be applied to materials with a water content or such a water affinity that a good mixing of the solid with the predetermined quantity of liquid is not achievable. This procedure does not apply to materials reacting with the leachant, leading, for example, to excessive gas emission, a solidifying effect or an excessive heat release. In that case, the material can be wetted prior to carrying out the leaching test. This test cannot be used alone to determine the leaching behaviour of granular waste materials, sludges, soil, soil-like materials and sediments, as specified in EN 12920. This document does not address issues related to health and safety.

Public transport - Reference data model - Part 8: Management information & statistics

Transmodel is composed of 10 parts (see above). This work item consists in the revision and update of the documentation of the Public transport reference data model – Part 8 (Transmodel – Part 8). The update consists basically of the following types of actions: a. Simplication of Part 8 based on the revision of Part 1: several functional extensions of Transmodel took place since the last publication of EN12896 (in 2016 and 2019). The functional extensions elaborated until 2019 generated additional common concepts which have already been published in the relevant documents. These additional common concepts are now integrated into Transmodel - Part 1 and thus removed from Part 8. b. Updates/extensions of Part 8 as a consequence of • Work presented in TR17370:2019. This TR provides a list of KPIs calculated using operational raw data. The action consists here to provide data model extracts, representing the raw data needed for several KPIs (listed in TR17370:2019), The extracted sub-models are based upon the (already existing) "Loggable object model" and will complete the 2 examples published in the current version of Part 8. c. Ensuring coherence of the Transmodel eco-system. Several updates of Transmodel- Part 8 result from the discussions lead with the OpRa group and intend to ensure coherence with the OpRa Technical Specification.
