It is applicable to CRMs intended for use as either primary reference materials (PRMs), secondary calibrators or international conventional calibrators within calibration hierarchies appropriate for measurands used in laboratory medicine, or for applications as trueness controls. It also specifies requirements for determining the certified value of a CRM, including evaluation, and reporting of the assigned uncertainty.

This document specifies methods for determining fracture toughness in terms of K, δ, J and R-curves for homogeneous metallic materials subjected to quasistatic loading. Specimens are notched, precracked by fatigue and tested under slowly increasing displacement. The fracture toughness is determined for individual specimens at or after the onset of ductile crack extension or at the onset of ductile crack instability or unstable crack extension. In cases where cracks grow in a stable manner under ductile tearing conditions, a resistance curve describing fracture toughness as a function of crack extension is measured. In some cases in the testing of ferritic materials, unstable crack extension can occur by cleavage or ductile crack initiation and growth, interrupted by cleavage extension. The fracture toughness at crack arrest is not covered by this document. Special testing requirements and analysis procedures are necessary when testing weldments, and these are described in ISO 15653 which is complementary to this document.
Statistical variability of the results strongly depends on the fracture type, for instance, fracture toughness associated with cleavage fracture in ferritic steels can show large variation. For applications that require high reliability, a statistical approach can be used to quantify the variability in fracture toughness in the ductile-to-brittle transition region, such as that given in ASTM E1921. However, it is not the purpose of this document to specify the number of tests to be carried out nor how the results of the tests are to be applied or interpreted.

This document specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of air transfer grilles (ATG).
It is applicable to air transfer grilles intended for installation in building components (typically walls, floors or ceilings). The orientation of the installation of the air transfer grille can be vertical or horizontal.
The closing mechanism of the air transfer grille can come from expansion of material and/or from any mechanical or electrical closing device.
This document is applicable to fire resistant or fire resistant and smoke control air transfer grilles.
An additional test configuration is valid for fire resistant or fire resistant and smoke control air transfer grilles in applications where flame impingement is a risk during open state from start of fire (see Annex A).

Such phenomena are only noted in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.
The determination of the rate of leakage of smoke at ambient temperature or at 200 °C as an optional requirement for ATG with declared smoke control is specified in EN 1634 3.
This document is not applicable to the determination of the fire resistance of air transfer grilles that are used in ducts because ATG are considered as separating elements. The test method for ATG used in ducts is described in the corresponding duct standards.
This document is not applicable to the determination of the fire resistance of a fire damper or a fire barrier connected to a duct one or both sides, as an ATG is tested as a fire-separating element on its own. Fire dampers are tested according to EN 1366 2. Non-mechanical fire barriers are tested according to EN 1366 12.
This document is not applicable to the determination of the fire resistance of air transfer grilles in fire doors, shutters and openable windows as specified in EN 1634 1 and EN 1364 2, because the deformation of fire doors, shutters and openable windows in fire conditions differs from the deformation of flexible/rigid walls. Moreover, the location of thermocouples in the door standard is too specific to be handled in this document.
All values given in this document are nominal unless otherwise specified.

This document specifies characteristics of solid wood panelling and cladding with or without tongue and groove machined from hardwoods (wood of trees of the botanical group dicotyledons).
Products are intended for interior or exterior use.
This document covers treated, untreated and surface treated products, including those made of thermally and chemically modified wood, as well as finger jointed products.
This document does not cover processes for treatment, surface coating or modification.
NOTE Where further regulatory provisions (e.g. durability, reaction to fire, dangerous substances and generally CE-marking according to CPR) are required, harmonized EN 14915 applies.

This document provides product category rules (PCR) guidance for the development of Type III environmental declarations for prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete with open structure according to EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.
This document defines the parameters to be reported, the EPD types (and life cycle stages) to be covered, the rules to be followed for generating life cycle inventories (LCI) and conducting life cycle impact assessments (LCIA), and the data quality to be used in the development of EPDs.
In addition to the common parts of EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, this document provides guidance for elements made as prefabricated reinforced components of autoclaved aerated concrete or lightweight aggregate concrete with open structure:
— defines the system boundaries;
— defines the modelling and assessment of material-specific characteristics;
— defines allocation procedures for multi-output processes along the production chain;
— defines allocation procedures for reuse and recycling;
— includes the rules for calculating the LCI and the LCIA underlying the EPD;
— provides guidance/specific rules for the determination of the reference service life (RSL);
— gives guidance on the establishment of default scenarios;
— gives guidance on default functional units for elements.
This document is intended to be used for cradle to gate, cradle to gate with options or cradle to grave assessments, when the intention is clearly stated in the system boundary description.

This document specifies the requirements for declaration and verification of vibration emission values of continuous and repeated shock vibrations. It is applicable to hand-arm and whole-body vibration values achieved by measurements according to type-B and type-C standards for portable hand-held, hand-guided and mobile machinery.
This document
— gives guidance on the declaration of vibration emission values,
— describes vibration and product information to be given in the instructions for use supplied with the machinery, and
— specifies the method for verifying the declared vibration emission values stated in the instruction for use of the machinery.
NOTE Machines according to Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 Annex III Part B 2.2.1.1 and 3.6.3.1 are covered by this document.

This document specifies requirements for fire detection, alarm systems, equipment shutdown, information and communication systems, emergency brake systems and fire fighting systems to cover the objectives specified in EN 45545-1:2013.
The measures and requirements specified in this document aim to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a fire on board by alerting staff and passengers to a fire, delaying the fire development and controlling the movement of smoke.
It is not within the scope of this document to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the railway vehicles in the event of a fire.
This document is applicable to railway vehicles specified in EN 45545-1:2013.
