This part of IEC 62271 provides guidance to suppliers, manufacturers, users, and waste operators of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear as well as their assemblies having a rated voltage above 1 kV AC and 1,5 kV DC, together with their associated auxiliary equipment, on environmentally conscious design, and on assessing environmental impacts when used in systems. This document also gives guidance on effective communication of environmental information throughout the entire life cycle.
This document provides guidance on the process and general aspects to select UN sustainable development goals (UN sustainable development goals (SDG)), especially those dealing with health and environmental impacts and their assessments, represented respectively by:
• SDG 3-Good Health and Well-being;
• SDG 6-Clean Water and Sanitation;
• SDG 7-Affordable and Clean Energy;
• SDG 12-Responsible Consumption and Production;
• SDG 13-Climate Action;
• SDG 14-Life Below Water;
• SDG 15-Life on Land.
This document gives guidance on the process and general aspects to implement environmentally conscious product design (ECD) principles, as given in IEC 62430, essential
for high-voltage electrical power equipment and power control equipment.
This document gives guidance on executing the life cycle assessment (LCA) based on product category rules (PCR) in accordance with IEC 63366, ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 and on applying the Type III environmental declaration in accordance with ISO 14025, both for high-voltage switchgear and controlgear. This guidance provides standardized product specific rules (PSR) summarized as follows:
1) Common rules for the LCA process describing functional units, system boundaries, life cycle inventory analysis, scenarios, environmental impact categories;
2) Common rules for communicating information about the presence of regulated substances and the materials contained in the product, according to IEC 62474;
3) Common rules for communicating information about the end-of-life treatment of the product including material efficiency.
This document does not address the environmental declaration programme, however it can be used by program operators.
This document focuses on describing the LCA process referring to the functional unit, system boundary, scenarios, etc.
Owing to variability of influencing factors, such as flows, allocations, not balanced and timestable energy mix under different programmes, equipment customization, durability related to environmental conditions, it is not possible to compare two similar high-voltage switchgear and controlgear analysed in different contexts.
This document does not address by-products from arcing which are generated in sufficiently small quantities such that their environmental impact can be neglected. Any by-product generated by arcing during the use of equipment is strongly dependent on operating conditions and cannot a priori be qualified nor quantified. However, they are not expected to be released in air and will be managed at end-of-life by a dedicated process.
EXAMPLE
During the use of high-voltage switchgear and controlgear the handlings of normally arced gas are covered by IEC 62271-4. When the volume of gaseous by-product is below 1 % of normally arced gas, it is not considered compared to the cut-off rules specified in this document. The scenarios related to the system boundary do not take into account leakages from failures except if an agreement is reached on this between user and manufacturer (see Table 7, item h).
Power transformers, low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, and the interconnections with such equipment are not covered by this document. Therefore, assemblies according to IEC 62271-202 or IEC 62271-212 comprising any of the above equipment are not within the scope of this document.
This document supports material efficiency for circular economy. However, one of the major issues related to remanufacturing is the consideration of used parts

1.1 This document specifies methods for measuring and evaluating the performance of CO2 capture connected to a CO2 intensive plant, and which separates CO2 from the CO2 intensive plant exhaust gas in preparation for subsequent transportation and geological storage. In particular, this document provides a common methodology to calculate key performance indicators (KPI) for the CO2 capture plant. To determine the KPIs, the boundaries of the CO2 capture plant need to be defined and the necessary parameters need to be measured. 1.2 This document covers the CO2 capture plant capturing CO2 from CO2 containing exhaust gas connected to CO2 intensive plants. The connection of a CO2 capture plant to a CO2 intensive plant is anticipated to have negligible impact on the product quality or the quantities produced by the CO2 intensive plant. This is in contrast with the integration of CO2 capture plants with power plants which usually results in a reduction of the power plant output. For the CO2 intensive industry, it is important that product quality remains the same after connection of the CO2 capture plant, in order for the industry to continue to meet customer requirements. The CO2 capture technologies covered by this document are able to operate without interfering with the operations of the CO2 intensive plant. Frequently used CO2 capture technologies are chemical absorption (e.g. liquid amine) and solid adsorption [e.g. pressure swing adsorption (PSA), temperature swing adsorption (TSA)]. Other CO2 capture concepts are membranes, cryogenic and other capture technologies. The CO2 capture plant can be installed for treatment of the full volume of exhaust gas from the CO2 intensive plant or a fraction of the total (i.e. a slipstream). Captured CO2 is then conditioned, e.g. dried and compressed or liquefied, as determined by the conditions needed for transportation and storage. The transportation can be either through a pipeline or through an intermediate storage facility waiting for shipment; either by tanker car, train or ship. The system includes interfaces between the CO2 capture plant and the CO2 intensive plant as well as the CO2 transportation and storage system. 1.3 This document is intended to describe the following KPIs: a) CO2 capture rate; b) specific electrical energy consumption (SEC); c) specific thermal energy consumption (STEC); d) specific material consumption (e.g. absorbent or adsorbent) (SMC). The calculations are based on measurements at the boundary of the CO2 capture plant, particularly of energy and other utilities consumption. 1.4 This document includes: a) the CO2 capture plant boundary (see Clause 4), which defines the boundaries of the CO2 capture plant and identifies which streams of energy and mass are crossing these boundaries to identify the key streams that are applicable for their particular case; b) the basic performance of CO2 capture plant (see Clause 5), which defines the parameters that describe the basic performance of the CO2 capture plant; c) the utilities and consumption calculation (see Clause 6), which lists the utility measurements required and provides guidance on how to convert utility measurements into the values required for the KPIs; d) the guiding principles (see Clause 7), the basis for CO2 capture plant performance assessment, which describes all guidelines to prepare, set-up and conduct the tests; e) the instruments and measurement methods (see Clause 8), which lists the standards available for the relevant measurements issues and considerations to take into account when applying measurement methods to CO2 capture plants; f) the evaluation of key performance indicators (see Clause 9), which specifies the set of KPIs to be determined and their calculation methods. 1.5 This document does not provide guidance for benchmarking, comparing or assessing KPIs of different technologies or different CO2 capture projects. Health, safety and environment (HSE) is not included.

This document provides insights into the essential aspects of CO2 shipping and provides basic descriptions of how a CO2 carrier and its technology therein is technically integrated with the CCS value chain. This document describes specific challenges of transporting CO2 as cargo, how this differs from other gases transported by ships today, and how this influences the ship's design and operation. Finally, this document introduces how CO2 ships are regulated within the existing international maritime regulatory framework. This document’s main focus is on the technical aspects of CO2 shipping. Commercial, liability and financial aspects are not covered in this document. However, general reference to commercial impact is made where relevant. This document focuses on the ship transportation of CO2 between loading and offloading facilities where the system boundaries are at the ship manifold equipment that connects the ship to the other components in the value chain. In this document, the basis for the description of ship operation is transportation between two shore-based terminals. A high-level description of other relevant interfaces is given on a conceptual level as this has an impact on the ship's design. However, any further descriptions of potential solutions upstream and downstream from the CO2 carrier are not covered in this document. This document also gives a high-level description of the physical properties of CO2 streams at the conditions relevant for shipping and how relevant impurities can impact the ship and ship operation.

This document specifies a method for the determination of ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) in drinking water, groundwater, surface water, wastewater, bathing water and mineral water using the small-scale sealed tube method. The result can be expressed as NH4 or NH4-N or NH3 or NH3-N.
NOTE 1 In the habitual language use of sewage treatment and on the displays of automated sealed-tube test photometers or spectrophotometers, NH4 without indication of the positive charge has become the common notation for the parameter ammonium. This notation is adopted in this document even though not being quite correct chemical nomenclature.
This method is applicable to (NH4-N) concentration ranges from 0,01 mg/l to 1 800 mg/l of NH4-N. The measuring ranges of concentration can vary depending on the type of small-scale sealed tube method of different manufacturers. Concentrations even slightly higher than the upper limit indicated in the manufacturers manual relating to the small-scale sealed tube method used, cannot be reported as accurate results. It is up to the user to choose the small-scale sealed tube test with the appropriate application range or to adapt samples with concentrations exceeding the measuring range of a test by preliminary dilution.
NOTE 2 The results of a small-scale sealed tube are most precise in the middle of the application range of the test.
All manufacturers' methods are based on the Berthelot reaction and its modifications to develop indophenol blue colour. Reagents mixtures can differ slightly based on manufacturers small-scale sealed tube method, see Clause 9. This method is applicable to non-preserved samples by using small-scale sealed tubes for the determination of drinking water, groundwater, surface water, wastewater and to preserved samples. The method is applicable to samples with suspended materials if these materials are removable by filtration.

This document specifies the general requirements for the measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted shock vibrations. For the purposes of this document, hand-transmitted shock vibration is any impactive or impulsive vibration that the machine or tool produces as a sequence of single events (isolated shock vibrations) linked by periods of no, or lower vibration. This document specifies parameters for the evaluation of machinery emissions of hand-transmitted shocks in the frequency range covered by ISO 5349-1 (nominally the frequency range covered by the octave bands from 8 Hz to 1 000 Hz). NOTE It is recognised that shock vibration often includes substantial high-frequency vibration energy. Therefore, reporting of information on hand-transmitted shock at higher frequencies that those specified in this document can be valuable.

This document specifies the identification of radionuclides and the measurement of their activity in soil using in situ gamma spectrometry with portable systems equipped with germanium or scintillation detectors. This document is suitable to rapidly assess the activity of artificial and natural radionuclides deposited on or present in soil layers of large areas of a site under investigation. This document can be used in connection with radionuclide measurements of soil samples in the laboratory (see ISO 18589-3) in the following cases: - routine surveillance of the impact of radioactivity released from nuclear installations or of the evolution of radioactivity in the region; - investigations of accident and incident situations; - planning and surveillance of remedial action; - decommissioning of installations or the clearance of materials. It can also be used for the identification of airborne artificial radionuclides, when assessing the exposure levels inside buildings or during waste disposal operations. Following a nuclear accident, in situ gamma spectrometry is a powerful method for rapid evaluation of the gamma activity deposited onto the soil surface as well as the surficial contamination of flat objects. NOTE The method described in this document is not suitable when the spatial distribution of the radionuclides in the environment is not precisely known (influence quantities, unknown distribution in soil) or in situations with very high photon flux. However, the use of small volume detectors with suitable electronics allows measurements to be performed under high photon flux.
