The CEN/TS 18212 series specifies a generic framework for the establishment of requirements and their evaluation methodology for biometric products. The requirements depend on the biometric mode considered, and are adapted to each scenario, through the definition of a variety of application profiles (APs).
This series of standards are expected to provide the evaluation methodology, the individual tests, and the APs (with their particular requirements).
This document specifies:
-   tests for evaluating the interoperability of all biometric input data (received or read);
-   test for evaluating the interoperability of all biometric output data (stored or transmitted);
-   test for evaluating the interoperability of all exchange of information between the TOE and external components or devices.
NOTE 1   Additional parts are provided covering the specifics of each biometric mode. For each of these modalities, application-independent tests are defined, as well as a set of APs, that detail the applicable tests, the evaluation parameters, and the passing criteria.

This document describes a standardized methodology and framework for the development and representation of an ontology that supports a global, open-source approach to implementing the ISO standards on the identification of medicinal products (IDMP) (ISO 11615, ISO/TS 20443, ISO/TS 20451, ISO 11238; ISO/TS 19844, ISO 11239, ISO/TS 20440, and ISO 11240). Realization of the full potential of IDMP requires fully self-describing data. For this purpose, this document describes a methodology and framework that complements the existing conceptual and logical models in the ISO documents on IDMP with an IDMP ontology that enables deep, semantic interoperability based on findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) data principles. This methodology and framework enhance the usage of the IDMP data model as the foundation of medicinal product identification and will ultimately enable collaboration towards drug safety and overall operational efficiency.
This document also describes a methodology for the agile adaptation of the ISO documents on IDMP in connection with cross-jurisdictional IDMP-related legislation and initiatives. This document is intended to be complementary to and independent from formal regulatory guidance. Thus, it enables cross-jurisdictional consistency and supports stakeholders in their regional implementations of IDMP standards. This document does not mandate any specific ontology as an implementation tool, nor is it an instructional guideline on how to build ontologies, which is out of scope of this document.
This document includes key use cases described in the ISO documents on IDMP ISO 11615, ISO 11238 and ISO/TS 19844, as well as further use cases arising from the comprehensive deployment of the ISO documents on IDMP via an ontological framework. Thus, an ontology that represents the IDMP standards aims to cover the complete collection of ISO standards on IDMP regarding key interoperability issues that implementing stakeholders are facing.

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 applies to portable residual current devices (PRCDs) for household and similar uses, consisting of a plug, a residual current device (RCD) and one or more socket-outlets or a provision for connection. They do not incorporate overcurrent protection. They are intended for single- and two-phase systems for rated currents not exceeding 16 A for rated voltages not exceeding 250 V AC. They are intended to provide protection against shock hazard in case of direct contact, in addition to the protection provided by the fixed installations for the circuit downstream. PRCDs have a rated residual operating current not exceeding 0,03 A. The plug and socket-outlet parts of a PRCD are covered by the national standard of the country where the PRCD is placed on the market. This document applies to portable devices performing simultaneously the functions of detection of the residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating value and of opening of the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value. PRCDs providing an additional function of detecting faults on the supply side with a defined behaviour in case of supply failures or miswiring (PRCD-S) are also covered by this document. PRCDs are not intended to be used as parts of fixed installations. Their connecting means can be plugs, socket-outlets, terminals or cords. NOTE 1 The requirements for PRCDs are in compliance with the general requirements of IEC 60755. PRCDs are essentially intended to be operated by ordinary persons and designed not to require maintenance. NOTE 2 An integral fuse is used, if necessary, for the relevant plug and socket-outlet system. The switching contacts of the PRCDs are not intended to provide isolation, as isolation can be ensured by disconnecting the plug. The requirements of this document apply for environmental conditions as defined in 7.1. Additional requirements can be necessary for PRCDs used in locations having more severe environmental conditions. PRCDs including batteries are not covered by this document. This document does not contain additional requirements for PRCDs without earthing contacts for which specific requirements can apply. This document can, however, be used as a guide for such devices which are intended to be used with Class II appliances only.

This document gives guidance on the labelling and information folder of potentially permanent magnet containing products in the context of information exchange between supply chain actors to improve recyclability of permanent magnets.
This document can be used by any natural or legal person that will place into the EU market products containing permanent magnets. The document is horizontal by nature and can potentially be applied to any type of permanent magnet containing product. Explicitly in scope are the product- and component groups mentioned in the introduction, as soon the total mass of permanent magnets is above the reporting level threshold specified 4.1 of this document.
The document specifies:
1.   the graphical format, application, and location of the labels, so they are easily located, legible, and scannable in the end-of-life state of the products in a way that is suitable for products of different sizes and complexity;
2.   the specifications of the data carrier, both in its physical format as placed on the product, and the accessibility, security, and verifiability of information;
3.   the access rights of relevant stakeholders to information;
4.   the information to be supplied regarding the location and composition of the permanent magnets;
5.   the information to be supplied regarding adjacent materials like coatings and fixation features, including adhesives;
6.   how to create step-by-step instructions for accessing and safely removing the permanent magnets, specifying the tools and technologies required, providing the recyclers a practically useful, unequivocal guide on how the disassembly of the magnets can be done most efficiently, and
7.   the format of the data to be supplied as per the previous points 4. – 6.
Labelling is employed for products which encompass at least one component mentioned above or a singular magnet, including segmented magnets, which holds a total mass of magnetic material as described in Table 1. Other magnet-holding components within a product that fall below that threshold are exempt from declaration and labelling. The purpose of these thresholds is to establish a sensible balance between the efforts required by both the responsible entities for labelling, as well as the efforts by the dismantlers and recyclers, and the output of recycled material. By excluding potential scrap sources where the yield would not warrant the effort, the work can be simplified for both sides.

This document defines Product Category Rules (PCR) providing guidelines and rules for developing a type III environmental declaration (as in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019) for ceramic tiles produced by extrusion and dry-pressing techniques, mainly used for internal and/or external floorings and walls coverings, facade cladding.
The c-PCR:
-   define the indicators to be declared, information to be provided and the way in which they are collated and reported;
-   describe which stages of ceramic tiles’ life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages;
-   define rules for the development of scenarios;
-   include the rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment underlying the EPD, including the specification of the data quality to be applied;
-   include the rules for reporting predetermined, environmental and health information, that is not covered by LCA for a ceramic tile, construction process and construction service where necessary;
-   define the conditions under which ceramic tiles can be compared based on the information provided by EPD;
-   include Annex A to Annex E in alignment to EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.
This PCR is intended to be used for cradle to grave and module D assessment.
