Petroleum and related products - Precision of measurement methods and results - Part 2: Interpretation and application of precision data in relation to methods of test (ISO/DIS 4259-2:2025)

ISO 4259-2:2017 specifies the methodology for the application of precision estimates of a test method derived from ISO 4259‑1. In particular, it defines the procedures for setting the property specification limits based upon test method precision where the property is determined using a specific test method, and in determining the specification conformance status when there are conflicting results between supplier and receiver. Other applications of this test method precision are briefly described in principle without the associated procedures. The procedures in ISO 4259-2:2017 have been designed specifically for petroleum and petroleum-related products, which are normally homogeneous. However, the procedures described in ISO 4259-2:2017 can also be applied to other types of homogeneous products. Careful investigations are necessary before applying ISO 4259-2:2017 to products for which the assumption of homogeneity can be questioned.

Animal health diagnostic analyses - Control of in vitro diagnostic reagents - Part 3: Reagents for PCR techniques

This document specifies the control and approval of in vitro diagnostic reagents used in animal health for the detection, and/or absolute quantification of pathogen-specific nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) by PCR (e.g. endpoint PCR, real-time PCR, reverse transcription-PCR). This document is applicable to diagnostic reagents as a priority for infectious diseases (due to bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, including genetic markers associated with pathogenicity, such as antimicrobial resistance or toxin production) and associated animal species for which harmonization of practices in this area is needed, i.e. those for which the national, regional or international regulatory framework provides for the control of trade in animals and/or animal products and/or the definition of a health status (absence of infection) of areas, establishments or individuals. Anyhow, all reagents designated by the competent authorities fall under the scope of this document. Nevertheless, the authorities or any other animal health stakeholder can choose to derogate in specific and very limited situations such as emerging, exotic or rare diseases. This document is not applicable to all existing diagnostic reagents, in particular those for which certain parameters described in this document cannot be validly evaluated in accordance with international requirements, due, e.g. to the absence of a specific reference standard and/or accessible and duly validated reference materials. The PCR diagnosis usually involves the use of a nucleic acid extraction and/or purification reagent, and a PCR reagent. The PCR method (when applicable) involves the successive use of these distinct reagents. PCR reagent control can be performed if the applicant provides evidence of the validity of the PCR reagent for use in the animal health diagnostic analysis, by proving its diagnostic performances with nucleic acid extracts obtained from the different matrices described in the instruction for use. The control of a complete PCR method by the applicant and the control organization is performed only if the PCR reagent cannot be dissociated from an nucleic acid extraction and/or purification systems. This document does not cover the control of the nucleic acid extraction and/or purification reagents, only. This document does not cover the step in which the user verifies a reagent (analysis method adoption). NOTE Prion diseases are not included in the scope of this third part of the EN 18000 series. Unlike other infectious diseases, prion diseases are not diagnosed using PCR assays because prions lack a nucleic acid component and consist solely of an abnormally folded conformer of the normal host protein.

This part of ISO/IEC 80079 specifies the technical requirements for design, construction, conversion, testing, marking and the information required for use to avoid or minimise the possibility of ignition which could from reciprocating internal combustion engine intended for use in explosive atmospheres including: – Group I EPL Mb for use in underground workings susceptible to firedamp or combustible dust, – Group II EPL Gb and EPL Gc for use in explosive atmospheres of flammable gas and vapour, and – Group III EPL Db and EPL Dc for use in explosive atmospheres of combustible dust. – For EPL Gc and Dc engines, only normal operating conditions need to be taken into account. Malfunctions need not be considered (see B.2.1). This document includes those tests of the engine and its ancillary devices that are required to verify compliance with this document. This document applies to both reciprocating internal combustion engines with compression ignition for EPL Mb, Gb, Gc, Db, Dc and gaseous fuelled spark ignition engines for EPL Gc. See Annex G. This document does not define requirements relating to the driven machinery and equipment. This document does not apply to – explosive mixtures of vapours and gases, which tend to self-decompose (for example carbon disulphide (CS2), ethylene oxide (C2H4O), acetylene (C2H2)) or which are chemically unstable; • hydrogen fueled engines, including blends; • engines used in areas for the processing, manufacture or storage of explosives; • gasoline and other spark ignited engines where the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber as a liquid; or • electrical ignition spark systems. Note 1 Spark ignition systems used with equipment covered by ISO/IEC 80079-41 is covered by IEC 60079-45 This document solely deals with explosion protection requirements. Requirements on gaseous or particulate exhaust emissions are not covered by this standard. General safety requirements are not included in this International Standard. This document does not specify requirements for safety, other than those directly related to the possibility of ignition of flammable mixtures in the surrounding atmosphere which can lead to an explosion. The standard atmospheric conditions (relating to the explosion characteristics of the atmosphere) under which it can be assumed that the engine may be operated are: • temperature –20 °C to +60 °C • pressure 80 kPa (0,8 bar) to 110 kPa (1,1 bar); and • air with normal oxygen content, typically 21% v/v. An engine for use outside of the standard atmospheric conditions is to be designed, constructed tested and marked for those conditions. The ignition hazard assessment, ignition, protection provided, additional testing (if necessary) manufacturer’s technical documentation and instructions to the user are intended toclearly demonstrate the engine’s suitability for the conditions. NOTE 2 changes in temperature and pressure have an influence on the characteristics of the explosive atmosphere including ignitability NOTE 3 IEC TS 60079-43 gives information for equipment used in explosive atmospheres in environmental conditions which include ambient temperatures below –20 °C and additional adverse conditions, including maritime applications. NOTE 4 Reciprocating internal combustion engines are not considered as pressure vessels. This document supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0:2017 and ISO 80079-36. Where a requirement of this document conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0:2017 and ISO 80079-36 as far as applicable for Ex engines, the requirement of this standard takes precedence. NOTE 5 On-going inspection, maintenance and repair aspects play an important role in control of hazardous area installations and the user’s attention is drawn to IEC 60079-17, IEC 60079-19 and IEC 60079-14 and manufacturer’s instructions for further information concerning these aspects.
