The ISO 11929 series specifies a procedure, in the field of ionizing radiation metrology, for the calculation of the “decision threshold”, the “detection limit” and the “limits of the coverage interval” for a non-negative ionizing radiation measurand when counting measurements with preselection of time or counts are carried out. The measurand results from a gross count rate and a background count rate as well as from further quantities on the basis of a model of the evaluation. In particular, the measurand can be the net count rate as the difference of the gross count rate and the background count rate, or the net activity of a sample. It can also be influenced by calibration of the measuring system, by sample treatment and by other factors.
ISO 11929 has been divided into four parts covering elementary applications in this document, advanced applications on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 3-1 in ISO 11929-2, applications to unfolding methods in ISO 11929-3, and guidance to the application in ISO 11929-4.
This document covers basic applications of counting measurements frequently used in the field of ionizing radiation metrology. It is restricted to applications for which the uncertainties can be evaluated on the basis of the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (JCGM 2008). In Annex A, the special case of repeated counting measurements with random influences is covered, while measurements with linear analogous ratemeters are covered in Annex B.
ISO 11929-2 extends the former ISO 11929:2010 to the evaluation of measurement uncertainties according to the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008/Suppl 1:2008. ISO 11929-2 also presents some explanatory notes regarding general aspects of counting measurements and on Bayesian statistics in measurements.
ISO 11929-3 deals with the evaluation of measurements using unfolding methods and counting spectrometric multi-channel measurements if evaluated by unfolding methods, in particular, for alpha- and gamma‑spectrometric measurements. Further, it provides some advice on how to deal with correlations and covariances.
ISO 11929-4 gives guidance to the application of the ISO 11929 series, summarizes shortly the general procedure and then presents a wide range of numerical examples. Information on the statistical roots of ISO 11929 and on its current development may be found elsewhere[33][34].
The ISO 11929 series also applies analogously to other measurements of any kind especially if a similar model of the evaluation is involved. Further practical examples can be found, for example, in ISO 18589[1], ISO 9696[2], ISO 9697[3], ISO 9698[4], ISO 10703[5], ISO 7503[6], ISO 28218[7] and ISO 11665[8].
NOTE            A code system, named UncertRadio, is available for calculations according to ISO 11929-1 to ISO 11929-3. UncertRadio[31][32] can be downloaded for free from https://www.thuenen.de/en/institutes/fisheries-ecology/fields-of-activity/marine-environment/coordination-centre-of-radioactivity/uncertradio. The download contains a setup installation file which copies all files and folders into a folder specified by the user. After installation one has to add information to the PATH of Windows as indicated by a pop‑up window during installation. English language can be chosen and extensive “help” information is available.

This document applies to system referencing conductor switching devices (3.3) (SRCSD) for household and similar uses within a Prosumer’s electrical installations (PEI (3.1)).
The SRCSD (3.3) provides functions as described in IEC 60364-8-82:2022 [2], 82.8.2.2.4.
PEI (3.1) intended for operating by either being connected to a distribution network or disconnected from the distribution network is an islandable PEI (3.7).
Intentional disconnection from and connection to the distribution network relies on the local earthing system being switched by the SRCSD (3.3). In addition, unintentional loss of distribution network is covered.
The SRCSD (3.3) is a single pole device intended to connect one live conductor of the power system to an earthing arrangement.
In general the neutral conductor is earthed.
Switching the SRCSD (3.3) can change the local type of system earthing if types of system earthing are different in island and grid connected modes.
The system referencing conductor switching device (3.3) (SRCSD) is interlocked with the switching device for islanding (3.4) (SDFI) of a Prosumer electrical installation.
SRCSD (3.3) can be integrated in a device with other functions e.g.. with a SDFI (3.4).
NOTE 1 See also IEC 60364-8-82 [1].
This document applies to SRCSD (3.3) for rated voltages not exceeding 440 V AC with rated frequencies of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 50/60 Hz.

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, or for rated current not exceeding 32 A for rated voltages not exceeding 130 V AC to earth. 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. If no national requirements exist, IEC 60884 1 is used.
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 defines the conceptual framework and mechanisms for mapping information elements from building information modelling (BIM) to geographic information systems (GIS) to access the required information based on specific user requirements.
The conceptual framework for mapping BIM information to GIS is defined with the following three mapping mechanisms:
—     BIM to GIS perspective definition (B2G PD);
—     BIM to GIS element mapping (B2G EM);
—     BIM to GIS level of detail (LOD) mapping (B2G LM).
This document does not describe physical schema integration or mapping between BIM and GIS models because the physical schema integration or mapping between two heterogeneous models is very complex and can cause a variety of ambiguity problems (see Annex D). Developing a unified information model between BIM and GIS is a desirable goal, but it is out of the scope of this document.
This document is applicable to the following concepts:
—     definition for BIM to GIS conceptual mapping requirement description;
—     definition of BIM to GIS conceptual mapping framework and component;
—     definition of mapping for export from one schema into another.
This document does not apply to the following concepts:
—     definition of any particular mapping application requirement and mechanism;
—     bi-directional mapping method between BIM and GIS;
—     definition of physical schema mapping between BIM and GIS;
—     definition of coordinate system mapping between BIM and GIS;
—     definition of relationship mapping between BIM and GIS;
—     implementation of the application schema.
NOTE            For cases involving requirements related to geo-referencing for providing the position and orientation of the BIM model based on GIS, other standards exist such as ISO 19111 and the Information Delivery Manual (IDM) from buildingSMART on Geo-referencing BIM.

This document specifies the identification of radionuclides and the measurement of their activity in soil using in situ gamma spectrometry with portable systems equipped with germanium or scintillation detectors.
This document is suitable to rapidly assess the activity of artificial and natural radionuclides deposited on or present in soil layers of large areas of a site under investigation.
This document can be used in connection with radionuclide measurements of soil samples in the laboratory (see ISO 18589-3) in the following cases:
—     routine surveillance of the impact of radioactivity released from nuclear installations or of the evolution of radioactivity in the region;
—     investigations of accident and incident situations;
—     planning and surveillance of remedial action;
—     decommissioning of installations or the clearance of materials.
It can also be used for the identification of airborne artificial radionuclides, when assessing the exposure levels inside buildings or during waste disposal operations.
Following a nuclear accident, in situ gamma spectrometry is a powerful method for rapid evaluation of the gamma activity deposited onto the soil surface as well as the surficial contamination of flat objects.
NOTE            The method described in this document is not suitable when the spatial distribution of the radionuclides in the environment is not precisely known (influence quantities, unknown distribution in soil) or in situations with very high photon flux. However, the use of small volume detectors with suitable electronics allows measurements to be performed under high photon flux.

ISO 18249:2015 describes the general principles of acoustic emission testing (AT) of materials, components, and structures made of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) with the aim of
-      materials characterization,
-      proof testing and manufacturing quality control,
-      retesting and in-service testing, and
-      health monitoring.
This International Standard has been designed to describe specific methodology to assess the integrity of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP), components, or structures or to identify critical zones of high damage accumulation or damage growth under load (e.g. suitable instrumentation, typical sensor arrangements, and location procedures).
It also describes available, generally applicable evaluation criteria for AT of FRP and outlines procedures for establishing such evaluation criteria in case they are lacking.
ISO 18249:2015 also presents formats for the presentation of acoustic emission test data that allows the application of qualitative evaluation criteria, both online during testing and by post-test analysis, and that simplify comparison of acoustic emission test results obtained from different test sites and organizations.
NOTE          The structural significance of the acoustic emission cannot in all cases definitely be assessed based on AT evaluation criteria only but can require further testing and assessment (e.g. with other non-destructive test methods or fracture mechanics calculations).

This document specifies the general requirements for the measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted shock vibrations. For the purposes of this document, hand-transmitted shock vibration is any impactive or impulsive vibration that the machine or tool produces as a sequence of single events (isolated shock vibrations) linked by periods of no, or lower vibration.
This document specifies parameters for the evaluation of machinery emissions of hand-transmitted shocks in the frequency range covered by ISO 5349-1 (nominally the frequency range covered by the octave bands from 8 Hz to 1 000 Hz).
NOTE            It is recognised that shock vibration often includes substantial high-frequency vibration energy. Therefore, reporting of information on hand-transmitted shock at higher frequencies that those specified in this document can be valuable.

This document describes an assessment procedure for characterising the effect of different pavement types on road traffic noise emission.
The procedure relies on the application of an established measurement method and specifies the de-tailed conditions for its use to enable the determination of characteristic values for the acoustic perfor-mance of road surface types with a given accuracy. Performance is characterised in absolute terms ra-ther than with respect to a reference surface, as specifications for the latter differ from country to coun-try and could contribute to additional uncertainty.
The procedure is intended to be suitable for the following applications:
-   for the acoustic labelling (i.e. the determination of initial acoustic properties) of generic or proprie-tary road surface products;
-   for the conformity-of-production (COP) assessment of newly laid surfaces, e.g. to assess compliance with acoustic labels and/or contract specifications, or to assess the homogeneity of the surface over its length;
-   for the monitoring of the acoustic properties of road surfaces over the course of their working life-time, so as to help inform surface maintenance/replacement policies and increase understanding of the acoustic durability of road surfaces.
The values derived from this procedure are intended to be used for the following purposes:
-   to characterise the initial acoustic properties of a road surface type (the acoustic label) using a common procedure across Europe. Such an acoustic label can serve as a baseline for setting perfor-mance requirements in public procurements, COP assessments and monitoring over the working lifetime of the surface. The label enables the comparison of different road surface types in an unbi-ased manner;
-   to verify the acoustic quality and homogeneity of a newly laid road surface;
-   to determine the acoustic quality and homogeneity of a road surface at a given point during its working lifetime; the collation of sufficient data on the same surface over time enables the predic-tion of acoustic behaviour and can help to drive surface design/development.
In addition, the procedure described within this document also makes possible:
-   the establishment of reference values for wider road surface types;
-   the derivation of input parameters for road surface corrections within environmental noise calcula-tion methods (in particular, the harmonised CNOSSOS-EU method).

This document specifies a test method for determining the intrinsic characteristics of sound diffraction of added devices installed on the top of road traffic noise reducing devices. The test method prescribes measurements of the sound pressure level at several reference points near the top edge of a road traffic noise reducing device with and without the added device installed on its top. The effectiveness of the added device is calculated as the difference between the measured values with and without the added devices, correcting for any change in height (the method specified gives the acoustic benefit over a simple barrier of the same height; however, in practice the added device can raise the height and this could provide additional screening depending on the source and receiver positions).
This document is applicable to:
—   the preliminary qualification, outdoors or indoors, of added devices to be installed on road traffic noise reducing devices;
—   the determination of sound diffraction index difference of added devices in actual use;
—   the comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion of the construction work;
—   the verification of the long-term performance of added devices (with a repeated application of the method);
—   the interactive design process of new products, including the formulation of installation manuals.
The test method can be applied both in situ and on samples purposely built to be tested using the method described here.
Results are expressed as a function of frequency, in one-third octave bands between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. If it is not possible to get valid measurements results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results are given in the restricted frequency range and the reasons of the restriction(s) are clearly reported. A single-number rating is calculated from frequency data.

This document specifies test methods for determining the rates of spread and accuracy of spread of binder and chippings of a surface dressing on a section of road at a given time.
This test method can also be used for determining the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of sprayed bituminous emulsions e.g. when used as bond coats or asphalt preservation systems. The performance categories for binder rate of spread and accuracy of spread in EN 12271 do not apply to bond coats and tack coats.
The test methods are used on site to check the ability of binder sprayers and chipping spreaders to meet the intended rates of spread and tolerances and coefficients of variation.
The test methods can be used to fulfil the Factory Production Control requirements of EN 12271 – Surface Dressings – Requirements.
—   Plant and equipment calibration.
—   Minimum inspection and test frequencies during production.
Using these methods for inspections during production (FPC), allows certain changes to these methods due to the specificity of certain sites and materials used (e.g. combined chipping-binder spreaders). In this case, the changes are documented in the Factory Production Control (FPC) and identified in the test reports.
Other test methods used to check the rate of spread and accuracy of spread of binder, such as the static spray bar bench test for sprayers, are not covered by this document.
WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous operations. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
