Standards

This Code of Practice specifies requirements for poultry meat which have not yet been treated in any way to ensure their preservation, except that it has been chilled or frozen and is intended for human consumption, whether by direct sale or through further processing. This Code of Practice applies to all establishments in which poultry is slaughtered, packed, or otherwise handled in the course of preparation, and all establishments in which poultry cuts and parts are processed, packed, or otherwise handled in the course of preparation. It also applies to conditions of transport from the establishment. This Code of Practice does not cover requirements for poultry rearing.

This standard establishes specification for nutrient requirements in the rations fed to poultry. It provides guidance on Good Manufacturing Practices for the production of poultry feeds and Good on Farming Feeding Practices. It applies to the production and use of all materials designed for poultry feed and feed ingredients at all levels, whether produced industrially or on farm.

This standard sets out general requirements for the contents of advertising, shown or consumed in Caricom Member States, in any medium, whether foreign or locally generated. It also prescribes additional requirements for the following types of advertisements: advertisements of specific classes of goods or services, advertising directed to specific categories of consumers, and advertisements in certain media. This standard also prescribes requirements for the manner of presentation of advertisements.

This standard specifies guidelines which would prevent the arousal of high expectations which would lead to disappointment, or cause conflict with parental decisions.

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 contains the standards governing TV broadcasting systems. The standards ensure satisfactory monochrome and colour television broadcasting services based on the 525-line NTSC colour system. The system is known as NTSC/M  

This standard specifies the requirements for processed poultry carcasses, poultry parts and poultry products for human consumption. It gives definitions of the market classes of poultry and requirements for sanitation, plant hygiene, the dressing operation, grading, packaging, labelling and marketing as well as ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection of poultry products imported and locally produced and processed poultry. It does not apply to freshly killed poultry prepared for direct sale to consumers for which conditions may be prescribed in National Regulations.

This standard specifies the typical layout plan, hygienic and sanitary, and basic requirements for an abattoir for carrying out slaughter of sheep, goats, pigs and large animals, for human consumption.

This document specifies requirements for and gives guidance on the application of life cycle costing to create value for the development activities and operations associated with drilling, exploitation, processing and transport of petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas resources. This document covers facilities and associated activities within different business categories (upstream, midstream, downstream and petrochemical).

The extent of planning and management depends on the magnitude of the costs involved, the potential value that can be created and the life cycle phase. It also provides the means of identifying cost drivers and provides a cost-control framework for these cost drivers, allowing effective cost control and optimization over the entire life of an asset.

This document specifies requirements and gives recommendations on the management of integrity of a pipeline system throughout its life cycle, which includes design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and abandonment.

This document is applicable to offshore pipelines for transporting petroleum and natural gas. It is applicable to rigid steel pipelines. It is not applicable to flexible pipelines, dynamic risers or those constructed from other materials, such as glass-reinforced plastics.

NOTE 1 An offshore pipeline system extends to:

— the first valve, flange or connection above water on platform or subsea mechanical connector with subsea structure (i.e. manifold or dynamic riser);

— the connection point to the offshore installation (i.e. piping manifolds are not included);

— the first valve, flange, connection or isolation joint at a landfall, unless otherwise specified by the onshore legislation.

NOTE 2 The components mentioned above (valve, flange, connection, isolation joint) include also any pup pieces, i.e. the offshore pipeline system extends to the weld beyond the pup piece, see Figure 1.

This document is used for integrity management, which is initiated at the design and construction stage of the pipeline. Where requirements of a design and construction standard (e.g. ISO 13623) are different, the provisions of this document will enhance the design and construction from an integrity perspective.
