Extended application of results from fire resistance tests - Non-loadbearing walls - Part 3: Lightweight partitions

This document provides guidance and, where appropriate, defines procedures for variations of certain parameters and factors associated with the design of lightweight partition walls, which have been tested in accordance with EN 1364-1, and classified according to EN 13501-2. This document only applies to non-loadbearing lightweight partition walls which have been tested (= reference test) with a single steel framework, provided with a lining on both sides of the steel framework. The lightweight partition wall cavity can be insulated or not with a mineral wool. This document does not apply to any other types of non-loadbearing lightweight partition walls considered in EN 1364-1.

Thermal and catalytic cleaning systems for exhaust gas from surface treatment equipment - Safety requirements

This document specifies machinery safety requirements. This document is applicable to thermal and catalytic cleaning systems with regenerative or recuperative preheating for exhaust gas loaded with flammable substances from surface treatment equipment. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to thermal and catalytic cleaning systems for exhaust gas from surface treatment equipment, when these are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. See Annex A for significant hazards. The specific significant risks related to the use of this machinery with exhaust gases from sources other than surface treatment equipment (e.g. from chemical production, tank farms, cremation, wastewater treatment) are not dealt with in this document. Limits of thermal and catalytic cleaning systems for exhaust gas from surface treatment equipment are specified by the interfaces given in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Limits of the machinery This document is not applicable to - cleaning systems without preheating of input gas; - cleaning systems for input gas with a concentration of flammable substances higher than those specified in 4.8; - cleaning systems for input gas containing H2 or pyrolysis gases; - cleaning systems for input gas with a O2/N2 ratio higher than in air; - absorptive and adsorptive exhaust gas cleaning systems; - membrane separators; - UV exhaust gas cleaning systems; - filter systems; - plasma exhaust gas cleaning systems; - biological exhaust gas cleaning systems. This document is not applicable to the machinery or machinery components manufactured before the date of its publication.

Agricultural and forestry machinery – Combined firewood processors - Safety

This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of firewood processors, designed to be used for making firewood. Firewood processors are combined machinery that cut and then split the wood. This document covers machines where the cutting is done either by a chain blade or a circular saw, and splitting movement is done horizontally or near horizontally by one or more splitting wedges. If cutting or splitting is done by other means, e.g. by guillotine blade or vertical movement splitting, this document is not applicable. This document is not applicable for machinery, where the wood is required to be moved from cutting to the splitting by manual handing by the operator. This document deals with firewood processors that are designed in a way that only one operator carries out the work process, but it is foreseeable that other operators, e.g. for loading or unloading, will work on or close to the machine. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to these machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. See Clause 4 for the list of significant hazards. This document is not applicable to machines which were manufactured before the date of its publication. This document is applicable for manually operated, semi-automatic and automatic firewood processors. This document is applicable to the following possible integral features of the firewood processor: - Integral outfeed conveyors - Integral infeed conveyors - Integral hold to run operated log lifting device Other accessories or added features of firewood processors are not covered by this document. These could be e.g.: - Separate conveyors or tables that are not integral parts of the machine - Other wood lifting equipment (e.g. winch or crane) - Other separate accessories of the machine, e.g. for cleaning the wood or packing the wood.

Machines for surface cleaning and pre-treatment of industrial items using liquids or vapours - Safety requirements

This document specifies safety requirements and recommendations for environmental aspects for cleaning and pretreatment machinery. This document specifies requirements against all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to cleaning and pretreatment machinery, when they are used as intended, including reasonably foreseeable misuse. See Annex A for significant hazards. This document also specifies in Annex B recommendations for minimizing environmental impact of cleaning and pretreatment machinery. Interfaces between cleaning and pretreatment machinery and potentially connected equipment not in scope are given in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Interfaces between cleaning and pretreatment machinery and potentially connected equipment not in scope The specific significant risks related to the use of this machinery with foodstuff and pharmaceutical products are not dealt with in this document. This document does not apply to: a) high pressure water jet machinery according to EN 1829-1:2021; b) inerted cleaning and pretreatment machinery; c) surface-cleaning appliances for household use employing liquids or steam according to EN 60335-2-54:2008; d) high pressure cleaners and steam cleaners according to EN 60335 2 79:2012, modified; e) cleaning and pretreatment equipment installed in paint application booths; f) shot blasting machinery according to EN ISO 23779:2025; g) dry ice blasting machines; h) laser surface cleaning machinery; i) plasma surface cleaning machinery; j) electroplating machinery according to EN 17059:2018. This document does not apply to cleaning and pretreatment machines manufactured before the date of its publication as an European standard.

Paper and board - Determination of moisture content of a lot - Oven-drying method (ISO/DIS 287:2026)

ISO 287:2017 specifies an oven-drying method for the determination of the moisture content of a lot of paper and board. The procedure in Clause 8, describing how the test pieces are drawn from the lot, is performed at the time of sampling. ISO 287:2017 is applicable to every type of lot of paper and board, including corrugated board and solid board, provided that the paper or board does not contain any substances, other than water, that are volatile at the temperature specified in this document. NOTE For determination of the dry matter content of a sample of paper or board, e.g. for calculation of the dry mass of the sample, ISO 638[1] can be used.
