This document presents Part 2 of the European Technical Specification known as “NeTEx”. NeTEx provides a framework for specifying communications and data exchange protocols for organisations wishing to exchange scheduled Information relating to public transport operations. As defined by Transmodel, 'Public transport' has to be understood as services advertised and available for use by the general public carried out by any means of transport.
This Technical Specification is made up of six parts defining a single European Standard, which provides a complete exchange format for public transport networks, timetable description and fare information.
Part 1 is the description of the public transport network topology exchange format. It also contains use case shared with part 2, and modelling rules and the description of a framework shared by all parts.
Part 2 is the description of the scheduled timetables exchange format.
Part 3 is the description of the fare information exchange format.
Part 4 is the description of the European passenger information profile.
Part 5 is the description of the alternative modes exchange format.
Part 6 is the description of the European passenger information accessibility profile.
Part 1 is fully standalone, and parts 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 rely on Part 1 and possibly any previous part..
The XML schema can be downloaded from http://netex-cen.eu (or directly from https://github.com/NeTEx-CEN/NeTEx), along with available guidance on its use, example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments.
This document is highly technical, and a special care has been taken to keep the text readable. In particular a set of formatting conventions is followed that enhances the usual CEN writing rules in order to distinguish references to elements of the formal models within text:
Transmodel terms and NeTEx conceptual model elements are in capital letters (JOURNEY PATTERN for example).
NeTEx physical model names are in bold italic font and use CamelCase style with no spaces (JourneyPattern, for example).
NeTEx physical model attribute types are in italic font and use CamelCase style with no spaces (TypeOfEntity, for example).

This document specifies procedures for detecting the presence of porosity in a protective paint system of any thickness on a steel or other metallic substrate. The procedures given in this document are based on methods using two different types of test equipment, the choice of equipment depending on the dry-film thickness. These procedures are only applicable to the testing of electrically non-conductive parts of a paint system.
The test methods specified are mainly intended for use with new coatings, but can also be used for coatings which have been in service for some time. In the latter case, it is important to bear in mind that the coating can have been penetrated by substances in contact with the coating during service.

NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is based on Transmodel V6.2 (EN 12896 series) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4/-5 and EN 15531-1/-2/-3) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE Many NeTEx concepts are taken directly from Transmodel. The definitions and explanation of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx, sometimes with adaptions in order to fit the NeTEx context.
Although the data exchanges targeted by NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS with data from public transport scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose. NeTEx can also provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.

This document specifies the calculation method, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and other quantified environmental information, to assess the environmental performance of a building and its site, during whole life cycle, based on a building life cycle model. It also establishes a system for the reporting and communication of the outcome of the assessment.
The document gives:
-   the description of the object of assessment based on the functional equivalent;
-   the system boundary that applies at the building level;
-   calculation rules and procedure to be used to compile and assess the life cycle inventory and life cycle environmental impacts of buildings;
-   the list of indicators and procedures for the calculation of these indicators;
-   demand for information concerning building generated energy reporting;
-   the requirements for the data necessary for the calculation;
-   provides recommendations on how to assess aspects at the local environment level; and
-   the requirements for presentation of the results in reporting and communication.
The approach to the assessment covers all stages of the building life cycle and is based on data obtained from Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and their "information modules" (EN 15804:2012+A2:2019), generic data according to EN 15941 and other data and information necessary and relevant for carrying out the assessment. The assessment includes all building related construction products, processes and services, used over the life cycle of the building.
The document is applicable to new, existing buildings and buildings undergoing refurbishment or any other kind of activity to extend its service life. Environmental impacts and aspects that are not related to the building are outside the scope of this standard. Methodologies for and approaches to the interpretation and the making of value judgments of the results of the assessment are outside the scope of this document.
The document also provides the methodological basis and assessment rules to support the achievement of environment related macro-objectives in Europe and instruments such as the European reporting framework Level(s).
NOTE   More information on the European reporting framework Level(s)can be found at Level(s) (europa.eu).
Informative Annexes B and C provide non-LCA information covering environmental aspects at the local environment level and additional information on end-of-life scenarios.

IEC 61512-1:2026 applies to systems, specifications, and their use for implementing batch and related procedure-oriented manufacturing controls in the process industries. This document establishes a reference model framework for procedure-oriented control, defines terms to help explain the model relationships and usage, and describes general criteria for evaluating conformance. This follows the principle of separation between recipe procedural elements and equipment procedural elements enabling operations to define recipes without the need of changes in equipment procedures.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Models and text are modified to provide more detail and clarity. Key clarifications are:
1) Two types of equipment modules are defined: generic and recipe-aware. All recipe-aware equipment modules contain procedural control and can be used as phases in the recipe.
2) Execution of all procedural control contained directly in units is part of the Unit Supervision activity.
3) The relationships between types of recipes, recipe components, and equipment control are more fully described and illustrated.
4) Entity relationship diagrams have been replaced with more intuitive UML instance diagrams, except for the equipment entity model.
5) The transition diagram for the procedural states example has been updated with a more intuitive and complete UML state diagram.
6) References to other standards in the series and to IEC 62264 are included to provide direction for further clarification of selected topics.
7) Activity names are capitalised to help prevent confusion with similar terms, such as their underlying functions.
b) Previous Clauses 4 through 6 (now Clauses 4 through 8) were rearranged to provide a clearer top-down organisation of the document. Key changes are:
1) Removing the lower levels of the physical (role-based equipment) model (see 4.4.2) to eliminate redundancy because their groupings are defined by the associated functionality in the equipment entity model and are not meaningful for batch control without those associations.
2) Describing equipment control and the equipment entity model immediately after the physical (role-based equipment) model and describing each level as completely as possible without excessive use of forward references (see 4.4.3).
3) Combining the descriptions of basic, procedural, and coordination control with their usage in each type of equipment entity, providing a single consolidated discussion of each type of control (see Clause 5)
4) Additional considerations to support application of the models have been grouped in Clause 7 to clarify their supporting relationship to the core models.
c) Clause 9 was added to define completeness, compliance, and conformance in relation to this document.
d) Annex B was added to provide a more expansive procedural state reference model. The model found in Clause 7 can be considered a collapsed version of this more general model.
e) Annex C was added to clarify a number of points concerning the models, their application, and the new Clause 9 on conformance and compliance.
f) Annex E was added to more fully describe the changes in this update to IEC 61512-1:1997.

IEC 61788-15:2026 describes measurements of the intrinsic surface impedance (Zs) of HTS films at microwave frequencies by a modified two-resonance mode dielectric resonator method. The object of measurement is to obtain the temperature dependence of the intrinsic Zs at the resonant frequency f0.
The frequency and thickness range and the measurement resolution for the Zs of HTS films are as follows:
- frequency: up to 40 GHz;
- film thickness: greater than 50 nm;
- measurement resolution: 0,01 mΩ at 10 GHz.
It is crucial that the Zs data at the measured frequency, and that scaled to 10 GHz be reported for comparison, assuming the f2 rule for the intrinsic surface resistance, Rs (f < 40 GHz), and the f rule for the intrinsic surface reactance, Xs. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- informative Annex B, combined relative standard uncertainty in the intrinsic surface impedance is added;
- the terms, ‘precision and accuracy’, are replaced with uncertainty;
- results from a round robin test are added.

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].

This document specifies procedures for quantification of asbestos mass fractions below approximately 5 %, and for quantitative determination of asbestos in vermiculite, other industrial minerals and commercial products that incorporate these minerals.
This document is applicable to the quantitative analysis of:
a) any material for which the estimate of asbestos mass fraction obtained using ISO 22262-1 is deemed to be of insufficient precision to reliably classify the regulatory status of the material (i.e. whether the material is subject to asbestos regulations in the particular jurisdiction) or for which it is considered necessary to obtain further evidence to demonstrate the absence of asbestos;
b) resilient floor tiles, asphaltic materials, roofing felts and any other materials in which asbestos is embedded in an organic matrix;
c) wall and ceiling plasters, with or without aggregate;
d) vermiculite and commercial products containing vermiculite;
e) mineral powders such as talc, wollastonite, sepiolite, attapulgite (palygorskite), calcite or dolomite, and commercial products containing these minerals.
This document primarily applies to samples in which asbestos has been identified at estimated mass fractions lower than approximately 5 % by sample mass. This document is also applicable to samples that can contain asbestos at low mass fractions incorporated into matrix material such that microscopical examination of the untreated sample is either not possible or unreliable.

IEC 62541-2:2026 describes the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) security model. It describes the security threats of the physical, hardware, and software environments in which OPC UA is expected to run. It describes how OPC UA relies upon other standards for security. It provides definition of common security terms that are used in this and other parts of the IEC 62541 series. It gives an overview and concept of the security features that are specified in other parts of the series. It references services, mappings, and Profiles that are specified normatively in other parts of the 62541 series. It provides suggestions or best practice guidelines on implementing security. Any seeming ambiguity between this document and one of the other normative parts does not remove or reduce the requirement specified in the other normative part.
There are many different aspects of security that are addressed when developing applications. However, since OPC UA specifies a communication protocol, the focus is on securing the data exchanged between applications. This does not mean that an application developer can ignore the other aspects of security like protecting persistent data against tampering. It is important that the developers look into all aspects of security and decide how they can be addressed in the application. Common security features for industrial Controls are defined in IEC 62443-4-2 and OPC UA defined a relationship to them in Annex A.
This document is directed to readers who will develop OPC UA applications. It is also for end Users that wish to understand the various security features and functionality provided by OPC UA. It also offers some recommendations that can be applied when deploying systems. These recommendations are generic in nature since the details would depend on the actual implementation of the OPC UA applications and the choices made for the site security.
