This document describes the test and assessment procedure for determining the contribution of reactive fire protection systems to the fire resistance of solid steel bars used as tension members, when exposed to the standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1. In special circumstances, where specified in National Building Regulations, there can be a need to subject reactive fire protection systems to a slow heating curve (smouldering fire) as defined in EN 1363-2. The corresponding test and assessment procedure are described in Annex E. The fire protection performance is determined by testing mechanically loaded steel bars in horizontal orientation. Information regarding the testing of additional unloaded specimens is given to assess the influence of the bar orientation and smouldering fire behaviour.
The principles of the testing and assessment procedure can also be applied for other section shapes such as angles, channels and flats. This document does not include steel bars used as reinforcement in concrete construction.
The document is applicable to steel bars up to a maximum diameter of 130 mm. In the case of rectangular bars, the maximum edge length shall be limited to 130 mm with a maximum aspect ratio of 2:1 against the shorter edge length.
The test programme and the assessment are designed to cover:
-   a range of valid fire protection classification periods;
-   a range of thickness of the applied reactive fire protection system;
-   a range of steel bar dimensions and profiles;
-   a range of specified design temperatures;
-   a range of load utilisation factors in case of fire;
-   a range of bar orientation.
This document also provides the assessment procedure, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data shall be made and gives guidance on the procedures by which interpolation shall be undertaken. The assessment procedure is used to establish:
a)   on the basis of data derived from mechanically loaded testing steel bar, any practical constraints on the use of the reactive fire protection system under fire test conditions (the physical performance);
b)   on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing steel bar the thermal properties of the reactive fire protection system (the thermal performance).
The limits of applicability of the results of the assessment arising from the fire test are defined together with permitted direct application of the results to different steel types and sizes over the range of thicknesses of the applied reactive fire protection system tested.

This document gives guidance for pro-rata multi-habitat sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates in rivers and streams. The term "pro-rata" reflects the intention to sample all the main riverine habitats present at a monitoring site according to the proportion of the site that it covers. It is an objective way to divide sampling effort among the different habitats.
This document is applicable to all flowing waters, both artificial, modified and natural. It enables comparable samples to be collected from any type of river, regardless of the habitats present.
This document gives guidance on an overall approach rather than a specific method.
This document is applicable to:
- supporting environmental and conservation agencies, water boards, and water agencies to meet the monitoring requirements of the WFD (Article 8, Annex II, and Annex V) [1];
- generating data sets appropriate for monitoring and reporting of sites designated under the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive to ensure that samples for comparing the overall composition of invertebrates from different stream types are comparable;
- ensuring samples for environmental quality assessments across different stream types are comparable even when sampled by different people;
- supporting river management and restoration initiatives;
- sampling sites in a consistent way that is not dependent on the presence of particular types of habitat; a user-friendly strategy for collecting biological data depending on the distribution of habitats;
- understanding the distribution of biological community types across different physical river types; and
- assessing quality based on deviation from reference, as adopted in the European Water Framework Directive [1].

There are numerous pathways to produce hydrogen. This document specifies a methodology for different hydrogen production pathways for determining the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions associated with the hydrogen supply chain from the raw material extraction up to the production gate.
This document considers the GHG emissions associated with hydrogen production up to the production gate. This document applies to and includes every step within the production process up to the production gate (see Figure 2 in the Introduction).
NOTE            Complementary documents in the ISO 19870 series will consider hydrogen conditioning, conversion and transport methods.
ISO 14044 requires the goal and scope of a life cycle assessment (LCA) be clearly defined and be consistent with the intended application. Due to the iterative nature of LCAs, it is possible that the LCA scope needs to be refined during the study. According to ISO 14040:2006, A.2, the goals and scope of LCAs correspond to one of the following two approaches:
an approach that assigns elementary flows and potential environmental impacts to a specific product system, typically as an account of the history of the product (see 4.1.2);
an approach that studies the environmental consequences of possible (future) changes between alternative product systems (see 4.1.3).
In this document, approach a) is referred to as an attributional approach, while approach b) is referred to as a consequential approach. Complementary information is accessible in the ILCD handbook[4].
A carbon footprint of a product (CFP) (3.1.2) or partial CFP (3.1.3) as defined by ISO 14067 can be estimated using either the attributional or the consequential approach, the latter corresponding to the use of “system expansion via substitution” to avoid allocation when a unit process yields multiple co-products. This document applies to the CFP for hydrogen production.

This document gives guidance on the procedure for the bioaccumulation of substances liable to cause atmospheric pollution. This is done by using the grass species Lolium multiflorum ssp. italicum designated hereafter as Italian rye-grass. It is an active biomonitoring approach insofar as the plants used are first cultivated in set conditions before being exposed at the monitoring locations in the field. The plants then record any pollution events that occur while they are being exposed, allowing such events to be accurately dated.
The document specifies a method for identification and localization of one or more single pollution sources and the tracking of their "plume" on a local or regional scale. The method described also offers a tool to monitor sites in the long term by the repeated application of a clearly defined procedure and to describe the local or regional air pollution situation.
The method described in this document is applicable to solid and gaseous substances deposited on plants, where they can accumulate on their surface or in their tissues. These substances include sulphur, chloride, fluoride and especially metals as well as low volatile organic and halo-organic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), polychlorinated dibenzo dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzo furans (PCDF). It is as well possible to verify pesticides which are used in plant protection products. The range of potential substances can be expanded according to the task at hand and the capabilities of conducting trace analyses and assessment.
The method described in this document allows spatial and temporal comparisons and allows for screening, thus providing a first indication of risk. The results of grass culture studies can suggest risks to biota (e.g. via the food chain) which require further investigation.
The method described in this document does not replace physico-chemical methods of direct measurement or modelling of air pollutants and cannot be replaced by them for its part; it complements them by indicating biological effects.
Potential areas of deployment are:
-   permit procedures related to air pollution legislation;
-   preservation of evidence related to the code for protection from pollution;
-   monitoring of emission sources and performance control;
-   assessment of local-scale emission transport;
-   evidence of causation, e.g. related to environmental liability;
-   air quality maintenance plans/strategies;
-   long-term monitoring of ecological effects of atmospheric depositions;
-   detection and assessment of local, regional, and countrywide effects of atmospheric depositions;
-   assessment of risks for humans and/or animals via the food chain.
This document is of interest to those involved in environmental monitoring.
