This standard is intended to satisfy the demand for basic safety information which should be understood by each paintball game participant prior to the start of the player's first game on the day of play. The information specifies rules of personal conduct, which might affect the safety of persons who are in close proximity to a paintball marker or a propellant gas storage vessel.

This practice establishes minimum safety requirements for the operation of paintball playing fields, and provides for certain materials and procedures required.

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 document specifies a method for the magnetic particle testing of ferro-magnetic steel and iron castings. It also gives acceptance criteria through severity levels defined by the nature, the area and the dimensions of the discontinuities present. This document is applicable to all ferro-magnetic castings, independent of the moulding method. A steel and iron casting is considered to be ferro-magnetic if the magnetic induction is greater than 1 T

(Tesla) for a magnetic field strength of 2,4 kA/m. This document only applies to those areas of the castings specified for testing, as well as the percentage

of castings to be tested

This document specifies a method for the liquid penetrant testing of steel and iron castings.

This standard specifies construction, operation, safety requirements, labelling and tests for domestic gas stoves with metallic bodies intended for use with liquefied petroleum gases at 2.452 to 3.432 kN/m² (or equivalent) gas inlet pressure.
