Standards

This standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.

This standard specifies requirements for the operation of testing and/or calibration laboratories. It is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.

This standard specifies attachment fused and unfused plugs (caps), shuttered receptacles (sockets) for flush surface mounting. These plugs and sockets are suitable for alternating current circuits only of voltages not exceeding 250 volts and currents not exceeding 15 amperes.  The plugs and receptacles covered by this standard are intended for use in making readily detachable electrical connections in non-hazardous locations between supply circuits and portable lamps, appliances and similar equipment.

This standards covers thermoplastic and rubber tapes for use as electrical insulation at not more than 600 V and at 80C (176 F) and lower temperatures on joints and splices in wires and cables in accordance with the National Electrical Code. It is intended that rubber tape on a joint or splice be mechanically protected by a covering such as friction tape . Thermoplastic tape is acceptable without the additional mechanical protection.

This standard specifies the general requirements for a laboratory safety management system, which will enable a laboratory to formulate a policy and objectives, taking into account legislative requirements and information about significant risks, which the laboratory can control and over which it can be expected to have an influence, to protect its employees and others, whose health and safety may be affected by the activities of the laboratory. In addition this standard specifies specific requirements for medical laboratories. This standard is applicable to any laboratory that wishes to: (a) implement, maintain and improve an Occupational Safety and Health Management System; (b) assure itself of its conformance with its stated safety policy; and (c) make s self-determination and self –declaration of conformance with this standard.

This International Standard provides guidelines beyond the requirements given in ISO 9001 in order to consider both the effectiveness and efficiency of a quality management system, and consequently the potential for improvement of the performance of an organization. When compared to ISO 9001, the objectives of customer satisfaction and product quality are extended to include the satisfaction of interested parties and the performance of the organization.

This International Standard is applicable to the processes of the organization and consequently the quality management principles on which it is based can be deployed throughout the organization. The focus of this International Standard is the achievement of ongoing improvement, measured through the satisfaction of customers and other interested parties.

This International Standard consists of guidance and recommendations and is not intended for certification, regulatory or contractual use, nor as a guide to the implementation of ISO 9001.

This international standard specifies requirements for quality and competence in medical laboratories. It can be used by medical laboratories in developing their quality management systems and assessing their own competence. It can also be used for confirming or recognizing the competence of medical laboratories by laboratory customers, regulating authorities and accreditation bodies.

This British Standard specifies requirements for the construction dimensions and mechanical and electrical properties of non- armoured polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulated cables for operation at voltages up to and including 450 V a.c. to earth and 750 V a.c between conductors, intended for electric power lighting and internal wiring.

This part of ISO 15489 is an implementation guide to ISO 15489-1 -1 for use by record management professional and those charged with management records in their organizations. It provides one methodology that will facilitates the implementation of ISO 15489-1 in all organization that have a need to manage their records. It gives an overview of the processes and factors to consider in organization wishing to comply with ISO 15489-1.

This Technical Report gives guidelines for interpretation of the ISO 9000 series for application within the iron ore industry, including the mining , concentrating, pelletizing and shipping processes. This Technical Report will serve as a guide to help iron one producers develop a quality system that can be registered to the ISO 9000 series of quality management standards. The quality system elements have been directly matched to ISO 9001 that includes all quality system elements of ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003. Its is assumed that ISO 9001 is appropriate to the iron ore industry only when a strong design element for new product development exists.
