IEC 60794-1-130:2025 describes test procedures to evaluate the coefficient of dynamic friction of the sheathing material of a cable when pulled over or between other cables. Methods E30A and E30B evaluate the coefficient of friction between cables for when either a cable is pulled over the top of other cables (drum test) or when pulling a cable between other cables of the same shape (flat plate test). This document applies to optical fibre cables for use with telecommunication equipment and devices employing similar techniques, and to cables having a combination of both optical fibres and electrical conductors. Throughout the document, wording "optical cable" can also include optical fibre units and microduct fibre units.
This first edition cancels and replaces Method E24 of the first edition of IEC 60794‑1‑21 published in 2015, Amendment 1:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

IEC 60794-1-119:2025 applies to aerial optical fibre cables such as all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cables, optical ground wire (OPGW) cables, and optical phase conductor (OPPC) cables that can be exposed to aeolian vibrations. This document defines the test procedures to establish uniform mechanical performance requirements relating to aeolian vibrations.
See IEC 60794‑1‑2 for general requirements and definitions and for a complete reference guide to test methods of all types.
This first edition cancels and replaces test method E19 of the first edition of IEC 60794‑1‑21 published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60794‑1‑21:
a) addition of a system to maintain a constant cable tension during the test as well as means to measure the free loop antinode amplitude;
b) definition of the cable load which is now fixed to 25 % of the rated tensile strength for OPGW/OPPC, or to the maximum installation tension (MIT) for ADSS cables;
c) addition of the target free loop peak-to-peak antinode amplitude to the procedure. The quality of the aeolian vibration motion is done through the average antinode
d) addition of fatigue damage and ovality changes of the optical core to 4.5.

IEC 60794-1-124:2025 contains test procedures, referred to as Method E24, for evaluating the behaviour of microduct cabling (microduct optical cable, fibre unit or hybrid cable etc.) when blown into a microduct or protected microduct. This document describes two blowing track layouts: Method A consists of two mandrels and two long straight sections in between (same curvature). Method B consists of 3 mandrels. The middle mandrel forces the cable to experience both left- and right-hand bending, which is a feature of any realistic blowing route. In addition, this document describes an optional procedure to check the capability of blowing out an installed cable. This first edition cancels and replaces Method E24 of the first edition of IEC 60794‑1‑21 published in 2015 and Amendment 1:2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of a blowing route (see Figure 2) which includes a change in the direction of curvature. This was achieved by introducing a third mandrel;
b) addition of Annex A (Figure A.1 which shows a practical implementation of the blowing route;
c) addition of Annex B which describes the so-called Crash Test;
d) addition of Annex C which describes a cable blowing out procedure.

IEC TR 62899-550-1:2022(E), which is a Technical Report, provides a framework for evaluating the mechanical and thermal durability of printed and/or flexible electronics components and products. This includes the bending test, torsion test, stretching test, steady heat test as well as the thermal cycle test. These are typical conditions that are easily encountered in daily life for printed and/or flexible electronics components and products.
This document gives guidance for use for technical committees in the preparation of consistent standards relating to the quality assessment of printed and/or flexible electronics components and products. Consistent standards for durability testing will help users, including businesses, developers, vendors, and end users to select suitable methods for durability testing and make consistent test procedures for printed electronics.

ISO 6506-2:2017 specifies methods of direct and indirect verification of testing machines used for determining Brinell hardness in accordance with ISO 6506‑1 and also specifies when these two types of verification have to be performed.
The direct verification involves checking that individual machine performance parameters fall within specified limits whereas the indirect verification utilizes hardness measurements of reference blocks, calibrated in accordance with ISO 6506‑3, to check the machine's overall performance.
If a testing machine is also to be used for other methods of hardness testing, it has to be verified independently for each method.
ISO 6506-2:2017 is applicable to both fixed location and portable hardness testing machines. For machines that are incapable of satisfying the specified force-time profile, the direct verification of force and testing cycle can be modified by the use of Annex B.

This document specifies a test method for determining the flex resistance of rubber- or plastics‑coated fabrics in the folded condition. The test method is applicable only to products which can be clamped in the test apparatus used and to products with which the fold made in the test specimen can be caused to move back and forth along the specimen during the test.
The appearance of the test specimen, after completion of either the flex number (see 3.1) or a specified number of flex cycles, is taken as a measure of the flex resistance in the folded condition.

This Technical Specification gives test methods for prefabricated timber stairs. These stairs are made from timber and/or wood-based materials.
The methods included in this document can also be used for single components used in stairs (e.g. steps, handrails, balusters, …).
This document does not consider the overall structure design of these elements. Stairs that are designed to contribute to the overall stability of the works or to the strength of the structure are not covered by this standard.
The surfaces of the timber elements may be exposed or covered by finishes.
NOTE 1 Where stairs are supplied with a finish or covering, some basic characteristics will not be covered by this standard and references should be made to the appropriate product standard (e.g. colour fastness of carpet finishes)
NOTE 2 Where the term "stair" is used in this document, it may also apply to individual element or component where appropriate
Tests can be carried out on a complete fully assembled system according to manufacturer installation instructions or on individual components.
A fully assembled stair test cannot be used to evaluate individual components.
There is no particular hierarchy of sequences or the need to carry out all the tests.
NOTE The nature of used tests and elements can be given by national regulations.
