      Hydrated lime and slurry lime for use in potable water supply — Specification

      This document specifies the requirements for unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) solid wall pipes with smooth internal and external surfaces, extruded from the same formulation throughout the wall, fittings and piping systems intended to be used for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage under the following conditions:

      a)    buried in ground outside the building structure (application area code "U"); and

      b)    both buried in ground, within the building structure and outside the building (application area code "UD").

      NOTE        The intended use is reflected in the marking of products by "U" or "UD".

      It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this document. This document covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipes and fittings series and a range of stiffness classes and gives recommendations concerning colours.

      NOTE        It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selection from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.

      It is applicable to PVC-U pipes and fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended for buried piping systems for non-pressure underground drainage and sewerage.

      Protection against lightning – Part 2: Risk management (IEC 62305-2:2024, IDT)

      Provides risk management of a structure due to lightning flashes to earth.

      Its purpose is to provide a procedure for the evaluation of such a risk. Once an upper tolerable limit for the risk has been selected, this procedure provides a means for the selection of appropriate protection measures to be adopted to reduce the risk to or below the tolerable limit.

      Risk management also includes the evaluation of frequency of damage of internal systems caused by surges due to lightning flashes to earth.

      Once an upper tolerable limit for the frequency of damage has been selected, this procedure provides a means for the selection of

      appropriate protection measures to be adopted to reduce the frequency of damage to or below the tolerable limit.

      (IEC 60068-2-13:2021, IDT)

      This part of IEC 60068 specifies methods of test applicable to specimens which, during transportation, storage or in service, can be subjected to low air pressure.

      The object of the low air pressure test is to determine the ability of components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at low air pressure.

      Components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored under a simultaneous combination of high or low temperature and low air pressure, where the combination is important for the stresses imposed on the articles or for the failure mechanisms, are then tested in accordance with IEC 60068-2-39.

      Occupational

      management
      systems —
      Requirements with
      guidance for use

      This document specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury, and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.

      This document is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve OH&S, eliminate hazards, minimize OH&S risks, take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities and promote work-related well-being.

      This document helps an organization to achieve the intended results of its OH&S management system which include:
      a) continual improvement of OH&S performance;
      b) fulfilment of legal requirements and other requirements;
      c) achievement of OH&S objectives.

      This document is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It is applicable to the OH&S risks under the organization’s control, and OH&S opportunities, taking into account factors such as the context in which the organization operates and the needs and expectations of its workers and other interested parties.

      This document does not state specific criteria for OH&S performance, nor is it prescriptive about the design of an OH&S management system.

      This document does not address issues such as product safety, property damage or environmental impacts, beyond the OH&S risks to workers and other relevant interested parties.

      This document can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve occupational health and safety management. However, claims of conformity to this document are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization’s OH&S management system and fulfilled without exclusion.
