Alarm Systems - Hazard Warning Systems - Part 1: Hazard warning systems for use in residential buildings - System requirements

This document applies to the planning, installation, operation, and maintenance of hazard warning systems (HWS) for use in residential buildings, flats, and rooms with flat-like use. It also specifies basic requirements and provisions for reliable interconnection of safety and security technology with smart home systems or active assisted living (AAL) systems and applications. Furthermore, it describes basic requirements for devices and systems or references to respective standards and specifications. This document does not override or in any way limit existing European standards. Hazard warning systems are used for early warning of persons to avoid or reduce personal injury and damage to property, which can result from intrusion, hold-up, fire, dangerous gases, and water ingress as well as technical defects of building services. HWS can also be used in residential properties in the event of duress/harassment and, for communication with persons in emergency situations who are present in the property covered by the HWS or to initiate controls in building services because of the aforementioned events. HWS can be designed in compliance with this standard as a self-contained system, or as HWS with connection of Smart Home components, or as a HWS that is a Smart Home system with integrated security applications. For the purposes of this document, the term “smart home” includes all networked systems and or web-based technical processes or IoT devices that are used in residential properties. This includes also, for example, remotely controllable devices such as cameras, entertainment electronics, household appliances, heating, air conditioning, ventilation (HVAC), electrical control components, door/gate/window openings and others. For the purposes of this document, AAL systems are assistance systems that support everyday life and are usually used in combination with services to provide needs-based support in the home environment for people with special needs. In most cases, AAL systems are web- or IoT-based. AAL systems and components are tailored to the individual needs of their users and their living environment and are networked with the building technology and security technology (in this case the HWS) for safety reasons to provide the user with the best possible support to make sure they react appropriately and in time to the situation in the event of an emergency. The task of AAL systems often includes recognizing critical health conditions of their users and initiating appropriate measures. For the purposes of this document, the term networking also means any integration of systems into the HWS and in many cases the connection to smart devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet, PC) via the Internet in conjunction with a specific application software (app). This standard can also be applied when systems are connected to the HWS and themselves use a connection to the Internet to outsource functional intelligence and utilize opportunities to automate processes across application areas, which can be either local, remote or a combination. Any notification or change in status of the HWS or its components can optionally be sent to other persons present in the building and/or to other locations/systems (e.g. emergency call centres [ERC]).

Laminate floor coverings - Underlays - Specification, requirements and test methods

This document specifies test methods for the determination of the technical characteristics of underlays under laminate floor coverings. It includes minimum performance requirements for the underlay-flooring system to give satisfactory service and to encourage the consumer to make an informed choice. It also specifies requirements for marking and packaging. Underlays pre-attached to the laminate flooring coverings are not covered by this document. Underlays for laminate floor coverings intended for use in electrostatically sensitive areas such as computer rooms, etc., are not covered by this document.

Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use - Part 1: Syringes for manual use (ISO/DIS 7886-1:2025)

ISO 7886-1:2017 specifies requirements and test methods for verifying the design of empty sterile single-use hypodermic syringes, with or without needle, made of plastic or other materials and intended for the aspiration and injection of fluids after filling by the end-users. This document does not provide requirements for lot release. The syringes are primarily for use in humans. Sterile syringes specified in this document are intended for use immediately after filling and are not intended to contain the medicament for extended periods of time. It excludes syringes for use with insulin (see ISO 8537), single-use syringes made of glass, syringes for use with power-driven syringe pumps, syringes pre-filled by the manufacturer, and syringes intended to be stored after filling (e.g. in a kit for filling by a pharmacist). Hypodermic syringes without a needle specified in this document are intended for use with hypodermic needles specified in ISO 7864.
