ICS 19 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "TESTING". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 3945 standards classified under ICS 19 (TESTING). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

ISO 18249:2015 describes the general principles of acoustic emission testing (AT) of materials, components, and structures made of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) with the aim of
- materials characterization,
- proof testing and manufacturing quality control,
- retesting and in-service testing, and
- health monitoring.
This International Standard has been designed to describe specific methodology to assess the integrity of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP), components, or structures or to identify critical zones of high damage accumulation or damage growth under load (e.g. suitable instrumentation, typical sensor arrangements, and location procedures).
It also describes available, generally applicable evaluation criteria for AT of FRP and outlines procedures for establishing such evaluation criteria in case they are lacking.
ISO 18249:2015 also presents formats for the presentation of acoustic emission test data that allows the application of qualitative evaluation criteria, both online during testing and by post-test analysis, and that simplify comparison of acoustic emission test results obtained from different test sites and organizations.
NOTE The structural significance of the acoustic emission cannot in all cases definitely be assessed based on AT evaluation criteria only but can require further testing and assessment (e.g. with other non-destructive test methods or fracture mechanics calculations).

This document specifies a method for the measurement of focal spot sizes within the range of 5 µm to 300 µm of X-ray systems up to and including 225 kV tube voltage. This determination is based on the evaluation of an image with a dedicated focal spot that has been radiographically recorded using an edge and evaluated with a digital method. The imaging quality and the resolution of X-ray images depend highly on the characteristics of the effective focal spot, in particular its size and the two-dimensional intensity distribution as seen from the detector plane. For the characterization of commercial X-ray tube types (i.e. for advertising or trade), the nominal values of Annex A are preferred. NOTE The same procedure can be used at higher kilovoltages by agreement but the accuracy of the measurement can be poorer.

This document specifies a method for the measurement of effective focal spot dimensions > 0,2 µm of X-ray systems by means of the edge method applied to digital images taken from hole type or disk type test objects if no phase contrast is observed. The imaging quality and the resolution of X-ray images depends highly on the characteristics of the effective focal spot, in particular its size and two-dimensional intensity distribution as seen from the detector plane. This document specifies procedures for determining the effective size (dimensions) of standard, mini and micro focal spots of industrial X-ray tubes for users in applications where the pin hole method according to ISO 32543-1 is not applicable. The method specified in this document is applicable for measurement and long-term monitoring of focal spot sizes without a pin hole camera. This document can be used by manufacturers, if special hole test objects manufactured with lower tolerances according to 6.2.1 are applied (see Figure 1). For measurements of the effective focal spot size, the accuracy of the method in this document is lower than the methods specified in ISO 32543-1 (pin hole method) and ISO 32543-3 (microfocus tubes) if using ASTM hole plate IQIs (see ASTM E1025, ASTM E1742), due to its manufacturing tolerance of ±10 %. NOTE For characterization of commercial X-ray tube types (i.e. for advertising or trade), the nominal values of Annex A are preferred.

This document specifies a method for the measurement of effective focal spot dimensions above 0,1 mm of X-ray systems up to and including 1 000 kV X-ray voltage by means of the pinhole camera method with digital evaluation. The tube voltage applied for this measurement is restricted to 200 kV for visual film evaluation and can be selected higher than 200 kV if digital detectors are used.
The imaging quality and the resolution of X-ray images depend highly on the characteristics of the effective focal spot, in particular the size and the two-dimensional intensity distribution as seen from the detector plane. Compared to the other methods specified in the EN 12543 series and the ISO 32543 series, this method allows to obtain an image of the focal spot and to see the state of it (e.g. cratering of the anode).
This test method provides instructions for determining the effective size (dimensions) of standard (macro focal spots) and mini focal spots of industrial X-ray tubes. This determination is based on the measurement of an image of a focal spot that has been radiographically recorded with a “pinhole” technique and evaluated with a digital method.
For the characterization of commercial X-ray tube types (i.e. for advertising or trade), the specific FS (focal spot) values of Annex A can be used.

The present document defines power feeding solutions for 5G, converged wireless and wireline access equipment and network, taking into consideration their enhanced requirements on service availability and reliability, the new deployment scenarios, together with the environmental impact of the proposed solutions. The minimum requirements of different solutions including power feeding structures, components, backup, safety requirements, environmental conditions are also defined. The present document is applicable to powering of both mobile and fixed access network elements, in particular on equipment that have similar configurations and needs. The development of 5G networks will create a new scenario in which the density of radio cells will increase considerably, together with the increase of wireline network equipment that are going to be installed in the vicinity to the users, thereby creating the need to define new solutions for powering that will be environmentally friendly, sustainable, dependable, smart and visible remotely. The -48 V DC, up to 400 V DC local and remote power solutions defined respectively in ETSI EN 300 132-2 [2], ETSI EN 302 099 [i.10] and ETSI EN 300 132-3 [3] or Recommendation ITU-T L.1200 [i.13] will be considered as the standards in force for power facilities, together with IEEE 802.3 [i.18] (PoE).

The present document defines measurement and monitoring of power, energy and environmental parameters for ICT equipment in telecommunications or data centre or customer premises. It defines the power, energy and environmental parameters monitoring interface of ICT equipment based on generic ETSI ES 202 336-1 [1] interface so that correlations can be made with ICT equipment parameters (traffic, flowrate, number of connected lines, radio setting, QoS KPI, etc.) in the Network Management System (NMS). Correlations of monitored data (power, energy consumption and environmental values) with other ICT equipment functional parameters and settings are not in the scope of the present document. The monitoring interface covers:
• Internal power consumption measurement on the ICT equipment powered in DC and AC.
• Power consumption measurement external to the ICT equipment (if not implemented internally, e.g. legacy equipment).
• Energy metering based on power consumption measurement.
• Environmental parameters of the ICT equipment (e.g. temperature at air inlet of equipment).
The present document defines:
• The minimum set of exchanged information required at the interface, including parameters such as measurement type (e.g. RMS), accuracy, range, etc. and settings such as data acquisition and transmission period, etc. This includes the data preparation, recording and transmission functions.
• The testing method of some parameters and functions.
