Standards

This International Standard specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. This International Standard is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability. This International Standard helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization’s environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include: — enhancement of environmental performance; — fulfilment of compliance obligations; — achievement of environmental objectives. This International Standard is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. This International Standard does not state specific environmental performance criteria. This International Standard can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to this International Standard, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization’s environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion.

This terminology is a compilation of definitions of technical terms used in the plastic piping industry. Terms that are generally understood or adequately defined in other readily available sources are not included. When a term is used in an ASTM document for which Committee F17 is responsible it is included only when judged, after review , by Subcommittee F17.91 to be a generally usable term.

 This standard establishes the basic principles for carrying out vibration measurement and processing data, with regard to evaluating vibration effects on buildings. The evaluations of the effects of building vibration are primarily directed at structural response, and include appropriate analytical methods where the frequency, duration and amplitude can be defined. It only deals with the measurement of structural vibration and excludes the measurement of   airborne sound pressure and other pressure fluctuations. 

This standard defines working positions and makes it possible to locate welds in space with reference to the horizontal reference plane (usually parallel to the workshop floor) by means of angles of slope and rotation which are independent from surrounding construction. 

This standard specifies the four rules of the definition that are intended to reflect the principal ways in which systems operation may be affected as a result of the date related problem. Conformity to these rules applied to all real time electronic computers, computer network components, and embedded system and facilities. Conformity should declare ‘product readiness’ for the year 2000 and beyond. This standard is not a warranty statement but assurance can range from a simple statement to a detail contractual warranty. This standard is applicable wherever dates are included for information interchange. This standard has been designated a mandatory standard.

This part of ISO 2859 specifies sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes of discrete items. it is indexed in terms of the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL).

Within the general scope defined in Section I, ANSI/ASME B30.17 applies to overhead and gantry cranse with a top running bridge, of single-girder construction, utilizing one or more underhung hoists (see ANSI B30.16) operating on the bottom flange of the bridge girder. This Standard includes both power-driven and hand-operated equipment.
