This standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.

1                   Scope

1.1               This standard outlines a code of safety for chemical laboratories.

1.2              The standard outlines:

(a)               general rules of conduct concerning safety;

(b)               details for fire emergency and rescue procedures;

(c)               general laboratory techniques.

1.3              This standard does not cover hazards relating to radioactive substances.

This standard specifies basic methods for testing the physical properties of paints and surface coatings.

The standard prescribes a maximum limit on the lead content in paints and varnishes supplied in fluid form. It applies to paints and varnishes that are used in households, on domestic furniture and appliances, in buildings and places open to the public shops, offices, factories, or for commercial purposes. This standard does not apply to paints supplied in the form of dried powder, or intended for industrial use.

This standard prescribes the wording of a warning notice and its presentation to the consumers in advertisements for cigarettes on television, radio, press, posters and other media of communication. It also covers the requirements for the advertising of other tobacco products. Certain types of promotional materials and advertisements are excluded (See 3.7).

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 requirements for the operation of laboratories and is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing activities.

This standard is for use by laboratories in developing their quality, administrative and technical systems that govern their operations. Any party may use this standard when confirming or recognising the competence of 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.
