Safety of household and similar electrical appliances - Part 2-64: Particular requirements for commercial electric kitchen machines

This standard deals with the safety of electrically operated commercial kitchen machines, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single phase appliances connected between one phase and neutral, and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery operated appliances. These appliances are not intended for household and similar purposes. They are used for commercial processing of food in areas not open to the public, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries and butcheries.

Rough-terrain trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 1: Variable-reach trucks

This document specifies the safety requirements of self-propelled rough-terrain variable-reach trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks), intended to handle loads, equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoted boom), on which a load handling device (e.g. carriage and fork arms) is fitted. For the purpose of this document, rough-terrain variable-reach trucks are designed to transport, lift and place loads and can be driven on unimproved terrain. Fork arms are considered to be part of the truck. Trucks can also be equipped with a variety of attachments (e.g. bale spikes, mowers, sweepers). This document deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the trucks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A). This document does not apply to: — slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks covered by EN 1459 2:2015+A1:2018; — rough-terrain variable-reach tractors covered by prEN 17968:2025; — industrial variable reach trucks covered by EN ISO 3691 2:2023; — lorry-mounted variable-reach trucks covered by ISO 20297 1:2017; — variable-reach trucks fitted with tilting or elevating operator position; — mobile cranes covered by EN 13000:2010+A1:2014; — machines designed primarily for earth moving, even if their buckets and blades are replaced with forks (see EN 474 series); — trucks designed primarily with variable length load suspension elements (e.g. chain, ropes) from which the load may swing freely in all directions; — trucks designed primarily for container handling; — trucks on tracks; — trucks with articulated chassis; — attachments. This document does not cover sales literature. This document does not address hazards linked to: — operation of the truck from a position other than the normal operating position; — operation of the truck by a remote control; — gas power systems; — gasoline engine systems; — autonomous functions; — self-evolving behaviour; — hybrid or battery power systems having a voltage greater than 32 V DC or 21 V AC r.m.s. NOTE EN 1459-7:2026 deals with hybrid and battery power systems having a voltage greater than 32 V DC or 21 V AC r.m.s. This document does not address hazards which may occur: a) when handling suspended loads which may swing freely (additional requirements are given in EN 1459 4:2020+A1:2025); b) when using trucks on public roads; c) when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres (additional requirements are given in EN 1755:2024); d) when operating underground; e) when fitted with a personnel work platform (additional requirements are given in EN 1459 3:2015 and EN 1459 9:2021); f) when using system capable of controlling the speed of the truck as set by the operator (cruise-control). This document is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.

Methods of testing cement - Part 19: Determination of the contribution of cement's alkalis

This document describes the method for determining the contribution of cement’s alkali to the alkali-silica reaction process that can occur in concrete or mortar containing aggregates potentially susceptible to alkali attack. The principle is to consider the alkalis from the insoluble part of the cement (generally associated with fly ash, for example, or pozzolans) and the alkali from the diluted part of the cement (generally associated with clinker, gypsum, granulated blast furnace slag, or limestone) [1]. This test method can be used in the framework of preventing the risk of alkali silica reaction [2].

Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products - Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 15: Extraction of soluble contaminants for analysis by acid extraction (ISO/DIS 8502‑15:2026)

This document specifies a method of extracting, for analysis, acid soluble contaminants from a surface by use of flexible cells in the form of adhesive patches or sleeves which can be attached to any surface, regardless of its shape (flat or curved) and its orientation (facing in any direction, including downwards). The described method is suitable for use in the field to determine the presence of acid soluble contaminants before painting or a similar treatment. This document does not cover the subsequent analysis of the contaminants that have been dissolved off. Methods of analysis suitable for field use are described in other parts of ISO 8502 such as ISO 8502-5. This document is similar in procedure to, but not equal to, ISO 8502-6. The main difference is the solvent used and the subsequent analysis that can be performed on the extraction solution.

Methods of testing cement - Part 15 - Sulfate resistance - Flat prism method

This document describes test methods (reference and alternative) applicable to cast test specimens for evaluating the Sulftate Resistance (SR characteristic) of cements. Sulfate resistance means that these binders can be used in concrete bodies submitted to sulfate attacks. In these methods, the test is carried out under controlled exposure conditions using an increased concentration of sulfate solution. These test conditions are intended to accelerate external sulfate attack. The reference test method is adapted from the modified SVA test method (German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt), Expert Committee (SVA)): “Testing the Sulfate Resistance of Cements with pozzolanic main constituents”. The modified SVA test method is listed in European Assessment Document – EAD 150007-01-0301, Annex C. This test method is appropriate for various binders, in particular those with pozzolanic main constituents. The alternative test method is listed in European Assessment Document – EAD 150009-01-0301, Annex A. This test method is appropriate for CEM III/A cements.

Leather - Chemical tests for the determination of certain azo colorants in dyed leathers - Part 2: Determination of 4-aminoazobenzene (ISO/DIS 17234-2:2026)

ISO 17234-2:2011 is supplementary to ISO 17234-1 and describes a special procedure to detect the use of certain azo colorants in commodities, which can release 4-aminoazobenzene. The procedure also detects 4-aminoazobenzene (Solvent Yellow 1) which is already available as free amine in commodities without reducing pretreatment. Azo colorants that are able to form 4-aminoazobenzene generate, under the conditions of ISO 17234‑1, the amines aniline and 1,4-phenylenediamine. The presence of these 4-aminoazobenzene colorants cannot be reliably ascertained without additional information (e.g. the chemical structure of the colorant used) or without a special procedure.
