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.

Eurocode 2 - Design of concrete structures - Part 4: Design of fastenings for use in concrete

(1) EN 1992-4 provides a design method for fastenings (connection of structural elements and non-structural elements to structural components), which are used to transmit actions to the concrete. NOTE 1 Additional rules for the transmission of the fastener loads within the concrete member to its supports are given in EN 1992 1 1:2004, 2.7 and Annex A of this EN. NOTE 2 Inserts embedded in precast concrete elements during production, under Factory Production Control (FPC) conditions and with the due reinforcement, intended for use only during transient situations for lifting and handling, are covered by CEN/TR 15728. (2) EN 1992-4 is intended for safety related applications in which the failure of fastenings can result in collapse or partial collapse of the structure, cause risk to human life or lead to significant economic loss. (3) The support of the fixture can be either statically determinate or statically indeterminate. Each support can consist of one fastener or a group of fasteners. (4) EN 1992-4 is valid for applications which fall within the scope of the EN 1992 series. In applications where special considerations apply, e.g. nuclear power plants or civil defence structures, modifications can be necessary. (5) EN 1992-4 does not cover the design of the fixture. NOTE Rules for the design of the fixture are given in the appropriate standards meeting the requirements on the fixture as given in EN 1992-4.

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.

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.

Water quality - Enumeration of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria - Part 2: Most probable number method (ISO/DIS 9308-2:2026)

This document specifies a method for the enumeration of E. coli and coliform bacteria in water. The method is based on the growth of target organisms in a liquid medium and calculation of the “Most Probable Number” (MPN) of organisms by reference to MPN tables or by use of appropriate formulae 1]. This method can be applied to a range of types of water (for example drinking water, groundwater, surface water, recreational water and wastewater),[2-5] including those containing a considerable amount of suspended matter and high background counts of heterotrophic bacteria. Users should satisfy themselves that any product used has been validated for its intended use (e.g. chlorinated drinking water) and should generate performance characteristics using ISO13843.[6] Performance characteristic data generated prior to 2017 using ISO TR 13843[7] is also acceptable. If a water sample has some background colour, the incubated sample should be compared to a blank control of the same water sample This method relies upon the detection of E. coli based upon expression of the enzyme β‑D‑glucuronidase and consequently does not detect some enteropathogenic strains of E. coli, which do not typically express this enzyme. Additionally, there are a small number of other E. coli strains that do not express β‑D‑glucuronidase. As they are β‑D‑galactosidase positive, they will appear as coliform bacteria.

Inorganic fertilizers - Determination of the total K2O content

This document specifies two different methods (Method A and B) for the determination of the content of potassium (expressed as K2O) in inorganic fertilizers. Method A specifies a gravimetric method. Method B specifies the method using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). This document is applicable to fertilizing product blends, where the blend is a mix of at least two of the following components, fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors and plant biostimulants, and where inorganic fertilizers are the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form, by dry mass. If inorganic fertilizers are 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. NOTE Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome.

Fixed installations and rolling stock for railway applications - Technical criteria for the coordination between electric traction power supply systems and rolling stock to achieve interoperability - Part 1: General

This document establishes requirements for the electrical aspects to achieve technical compatibility between rolling stock and electric traction systems, limited to: - co-ordination of protection principles between power supply and traction units, i.e. separation sections, train set current or power limitation, short circuit current discrimination, circuit breaker coordination and use of regenerative braking; - co-ordination of installed power on the line and the power demand of trains, i.e. traction unit power factor, train set current or power limitation, electric system performance, type and characterization; - compatibility assessment relating to harmonics and dynamic effects. Informative values are given for some parts of the existing European railway networks, in annexes. NOTE For those railways within the scope of EU Interoperability Directive, definitive values are set out in the register of infrastructure published in accordance with Article 49 of Directive (EU) 2016/797, and the list of items included in the register is described in the commission decision (EU) 2019/777. The following electric traction systems are within the scope of this document: - railways; - guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways; - material transport systems that are integrated with railways. Information is given on electrification parameters to enable train operating companies to confirm, after consultation with the rolling stock manufacturers, that risks of non-compatibility are minimized and that there will be no consequential disturbance on the electrification system. The interaction between pantograph and overhead contact line is dealt with in EN 50367:2020. The interaction with the control-command and signalling subsystem is not dealt with in this document. Basic considerations have been included concerning the use of traction units with onboard electric traction energy storage in the electric traction power system. Details of this are dealt with in CLC/TS 50729:2025.
