Applies to audio-frequency induction loop systems producing an alternating magnetic field and intended to provide an input signal for hearing aids operating with an induction pick-up coil. Specifies a standard value of magnetic field strength in audio-frequency induction loops for hearing aid purposes, such as will give an adequate signal-to-noise ratio without overloading the hearing aid.

ISO/IEC Guide 53:2005 outlines a general approach by which certification bodies can develop and apply product certification schemes utilizing requirements of an organization's quality management system. The provisions given are not requirements for the accreditation of a product certification body and do not substitute the requirements of ISO/IEC Guide 65.The schemes contained in ISO/IEC Guide 53:2005 are for product certification only and in all cases involve the following principles:-- assessment of an organization's quality management system and its capability to consistently supply products conforming to specified requirements;-- testing, inspection or comparable verification of the product's conformity to scheme criteria and specified requirements;-- application of a suitable surveillance scheme to ensure continual conformity to specified requirements of products supplied by the organization;-- control of the mark of conformity and/or logo of the certification body.

ISO/IEC 17025:2005 specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. It covers testing and calibration performed using standard methods, non-standard methods, and laboratory-developed methods. It is applicable to all organizations performing tests and/or calibrations. These include, for example, first-, second- and third-party laboratories, and laboratories where testing and/or calibration forms part of inspection and product certification. ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing and/or calibration activities. When a laboratory does not undertake one or more of the activities covered by ISO/IEC 17025:2005, such as sampling and the design/development of new methods, the requirements of those clauses do not apply. ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is for use by laboratories in developing their management system for quality, administrative and technical operations. Laboratory customers, regulatory authorities and accreditation bodies may also use it in confirming or recognizing the competence of laboratories. ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is not intended to be used as the basis for certification of laboratories. Compliance with regulatory and safety requirements on the operation of laboratories is not covered by ISO/IEC 17025:2005.

Applies to the classification of degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment with a rated voltage not exceeding 72,5 kV. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

This European standard specifies general criteria for the competence of impartial bodies performing inspection irrespective of the sector involved. It also specifies independence criteria.This standard is intended for the use of inspection bodies and their accreditation bodies as well as other bodies concerned with recognizing the competence of inspection bodies.This set of criteria may have to be interpreted when applied to particular sectors, or to in-service inspection.This standard does not cover testing laboratories, certification bodies or the suppliers' declaration of conformity, the criteria for which are contained in other European Standards of the EN 45000 series. This title may contain less than 24 pages of technical content.

This standard applies to all machinery (stationary and mobile) where fixed means of access are necessary.This standard applies to stairs, step ladders and guard-rails which are a part of a machine.This standard may also apply to stairs, step ladders and guard-rails to that part of the building where the machine is installed, providing the main function of that part of the building is to provide a means of access to the machine.This standard applies also to stairs, step ladders and guard-rails specific to the machine which are not permanently fixed to the machine and which may be removed or moved to the side for some operations of the machine (e.g. changing tools in a large press).For the significant hazards covered by this standard, see clause 4 of EN ISO 14122 -1. This title may contain less than 24 pages of technical content.

Determines the effect on a specimen of simple standard treatments which are representative of the knocks and jolts likely to occur during repair work or rough handling on a table or bench. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. This title may contain less than 24 pages of technical content.

Describes the four principles which form the basis of the recommendations given for the design of garments. Gives dimensions and design of sleeves, legs, garment jackets, and fasteners.

This International Standard describes methods of specifying and testing the following performance characteristics of manipulating industrial robots:pose accuracy and pose repeatability; multi-directional pose accuracy variation; distance accuracy and distance repeatability; position stabilization time; position overshoot; drift of pose characteristics; exchangeability; path accuracy and path repeatability; path accuracy on reorientationcornering deviations; path velocity characteristics; minimum posing time; static compliance; weaving deviations. This International Standard does not specify which of the above performance characteristics are to be chosen for testing a particular robot. The tests described in this International Standard are primarily intended for developing and verifying individual robot specifications, but can also be used for such purposes as prototype testing, type testing or acceptance testing.To compare performance characteristics between different robots, as defined in this International Standard, the following parameters have to be the same: test cube sizes, test loads, test velocities, test paths, test cycles, environmental conditions.Annex A provides parameters specific for comparison testing of pose-to-pose characteristics and path characteristics.This International Standard applies to all manipulating industrial robots as defined in ISO 8373. However, for the purpose of this International Standard the term “robot” means manipulating industrial robot.

Gives the methods for tests at low temperature which apply to PVC and PV compounds.
