The present document specifies the Service Information (SI) data which forms a part of Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) bitstreams, in order that the user can be provided with information to assist in selection of services and/or events within the bitstream, and so that the Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) can automatically configure itself for the selected service. SI data for automatic configuration is mostly specified within ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1] as Program Specific Information (PSI). The present document specifies additional data which complements the PSI by providing data to aid automatic tuning of IRDs, and additional information intended for display to the user. The manner of presentation of the information is not specified in the present document, and IRD manufacturers have freedom to choose appropriate presentation methods. It is expected that Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) will be a feature of Digital TeleVision (TV) transmissions. The definition of an EPG is outside the scope of the present document (i.e. the SI specification), but the data contained within the SI specified in the present document may be used as the basis for an EPG. Rules of operation for the implementation of the present document are specified in ETSI TS 101 211 [i.1].

This document describes the basic requirements for the verification of ultimate and serviceability limit states and the resistance to fatigue either of the noise barrier or its components by means of analytical methods and/or tests.
Analytical methods can be used for the determination of the characteristic values and design values.
Where sufficient information is not available, the analytical procedure can be combined with results from tests.
This document provides the following types of test procedures:
- test on small samples for defining detail categories, which might not be covered by Eurocodes (verification procedure A);
- test on a global element for defining the limit state against fatigue (verification procedure B);
- full scale tests under a given representative loading (verification procedure C) to determine fatigue resistance of the noise barrier components for defined loading conditions; verification procedure C is given as alternative to verification procedures A and B.

The scope of this TR is a Public Transport common glossary to harmonise terms and definitions from existing data dictionaries.
The methodology consisting of highlighting the differences between various use contexts arises from a number of factors, many of them practical:
1) The facts of history. Many of the legislations, as noted (especially EU Regulations, EC Delegated Regulations and EC Implementing Decisions), already have mandatory application of varying scope, and the regulatory bodies would be most unlikely to consider it worthwhile to actually modify them in line with some list of precise terms developed after the fact.
2) The diversity of practices and use-cases which have been included in the Public Transport domain. Especially as a result of the need for this domain to cover multi-modality and developing technologies, and the increasing requirement for Public Transport to interact with wider domains such as Road Traffic Management, there are bound to be some deeply embedded terms which have been used in different senses in different domains.
3) The differing nature and working practices involved in the legislative, regulatory and technical standardisation processes, and their relationship both to one another and to real-world implementors of Public Transport services.
4) The prior existence of a well-established and precise set of Conceptual Models, including terms and definitions, in the Transmodel ecosystem. This is self-consistent and clearly defined and is being maintained on a continuous basis. However, its use in a legislative context is by “delegation”, which may do little to decrease the possibility of regulations themselves making use of some terms in a sense not intended by Transmodel itself.
The format of the glossary will be structured around following sections:
-   Contexts: Summary of the contexts in which the term or phrase is defined.
-   Related terms: Phrases in which the term is used, either as an element in a compound (e.g. the term “access” vs “access right” or where a related term is used which carries a notably different association (e.g. the term “access” vs “accessibility”, where the latter has a precise meaning in some contexts).
-   Concept: Where it is possible to identify a unifying concept among the various definitions. An informal or explanatory summary of that concept. Where it is not possible, a note of that fact.
-   Harmonisation: Containing references and links to the definitions in their contexts and the suggested conventions for citing them in contexts other than those where they are defined.
-   Source references: Links to definitions of the exact term in their contexts.
-   Usage recommendations: Recommendations for how the terms should be cited in contexts outside that in which the term is defined.

This document provides a set of professional role profiles as typically applied in an organisation in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) and a set of educational profiles that translate these organisation needs into educational terms. It builds on existing CEN reports, specifically the European e-Competence Framework ("e-CF"; EN 16234-1), the ICT Professional Role Profiles (CWA 16458), and the Guidelines for Developing ICT Professional Curricula (CEN/TS 17699).
It provides a high-level framework for AI role profiles, outlining elements such as tasks, deliverables, competences (aligned with the e-CF), AI descriptors, and AI skill areas. It is intended as an illustrative and exploratory resource rather than a prescriptive standard. The profiles and components presented here are designed to inspire and support organisations in shaping their own approaches, allowing them to select, adapt, and combine elements in ways that best fit their specific context. Recognising that real-world applications vary widely, this document encourages flexible use and interpretation rather than strict adherence.
Within this framework, tasks describe the key activities associated with a role, while deliverables capture the expected outputs or results. Competences, based on the e-CF, provide a structured view of the knowledge and capabilities required. AI descriptors and AI skill areas further contextualise these roles by highlighting AI-specific responsibilities and domains of expertise. Together, these elements offer a modular structure that can be tailored to different organisational needs.
In addition, the document extends these role profiles into an educational perspective by translating roles and competences into indicative learning outcomes and approaches to assessment. This linkage is intended to support education and training providers in designing programmes that align with emerging AI roles, while remaining adaptable to different pedagogical models and contexts.
This CWA aligns with activities and standards developed in the context of ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 42 and CEN-CENELEC JTC 21 for Artificial intelligence. JTC 21 produces and adopts standardization deliverables to address European market and societal needs and to underpin primarily EU legislation, policies, principles, and values. JTC 21 plays a pivotal role in implementing the EU AI Act by developing harmonized standards.
This CWA has been developed at the intersection of AI and ICT professionalism, which is the focus of CEN/TC 428 ICT Professionalism and Digital Competences the committee that supports the development of digital skills across sectors. It focuses on competences, education, ethics, and knowledge frameworks, helping to close the digital skills gap in Europe.

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 requirements for assessment of the mechanical strength of metal profiles incorporating a thermal barrier having mechanical performance depending on their intended use.
It also specifies the tests to determine the characteristic values of mechanical properties of the thermal barrier profile and to assess the effect of different conditionings of the thermal barrier on the mechanical performance of the connection.
This document does not apply to thermal barriers which do not give a contribution to the mechanical resistance of the profiles.
This document is applicable to thermal barrier profiles designed mainly for windows, doors, screens and curtain walls.
This document does not apply to thermal barriers made only of metal profiles connected with metal pins or screws.
This current edition of EN 14024 will supersede EN 14024:2004. Differences in test procedures between the two versions will not lead to significant differences in test results. Therefore, existing test results according to EN 14024:2004 are considered as equivalent to new test results according to the current edition of EN 14024.

This document specifies Type S1 software measurement standards, reference data, and Type S2 software measurement standards, reference software, for verifying the software of measuring instruments. It also specifies the surface data file (SDF) format of Type S1 software measurement standards for the calibration of instruments for the measurement of surface texture by the profile and areal method as defined in the profile and areal surface texture chain of standards, the chain links F and G.
The SDF format applies to profile and areal topography measurement data extracted with an orthogonal grid (see ISO 14406:2010, 5.2) and equidistant sampling intervals, regardless of the measurement principle.
NOTE            Throughout this document, the terms “reference data” and “reference software” are used as substitutes for software measurement standards of Type S1 and Type S2, respectively. In practice, “reference data” is sometimes referred to as “software gauge” or “softgauge”.

This document specifies a laboratory method for the determination of the carotenoid content in microalgae. This method is based on the principles of chlorophyll a determination described in EN 18034.
This method has been validated for the microalgae species Nannochloropsis and Phaodactylum. This document is only validated for betacarotene and fucoxanthin, but could be used for other carotenoids as well. Given small adaptations to be able to measure smaller concentrations, this method could also be used for macro algae.
NOTE This method has been validated in an interlaboratory study for the following carotenoids for levels of approximately 0,1 to 10 mg/g by weight:
− Beta-carotene;
− fucoxanthin.
For the validation, the following matrices were used:
− Nannochloropsis sp.;
− Phaedactylum.
For detailed information on the validation, see 9.2 and Annex B. Additionally, lutein was tested and Saccharina latissima was used as an additional matrix. However, these results could not be validated. The results of these studies have been included in informative Annex C.
