This document applies to single storey houses up to 7.62 m x 12.19 m (25 ft x 40 ft) plan, with hollow block masonry or timber framed walls, and timber framed or concrete roofs.  It provides the user with the technical information to supervise the construction of a safe and durable house, and to facilitate checks on whether a safe and durable house is being built.

This document does not include construction details for utilities (including plumbing, electrical, communications, security, and natural gas.  It also does not include construction details for solid brick masonry.

This document specifies the requirements for the audit and certification of a food safety management system (FSMS) complying with the requirements given in ISO 22000 (or other specified FSMS requirements). It also provides the necessary information and confidence to customers about the way certification of their suppliers has been granted.

Certification of FSMS is a third-party conformity assessment activity (as described in ISO/IEC 17000:2020, 4.3), and bodies performing this activity are third-party conformity assessment bodies.

NOTE 1 In this document, the terms “product” and “service” are used separately (in contrast with the definition of “product” given in ISO/IEC 17000).

NOTE 2 This document can be used as a criteria document for the accreditation or peer assessment of certification bodies which seek to be recognized as being competent to certify that an

FSMS complies with ISO 22000 or other sets of specified FSMS requirements. It is also intended to be used as a criteria document by regulatory authorities and industry consortia which engage in direct recognition of certification bodies to certify that an FSMS complies with ISO 22000. Some of its requirements can also be useful to other parties involved in the conformity assessment of such certification bodies, and in the conformity assessment of bodies that undertake to certify the compliance of FSMS with criteria additional to, or other than, those in ISO 22000. FSMS certification does not attest to the safety or fitness of the products of an organization within the food chain. However, an FSMS requires an organization to meet all applicable food-safety-related statutory and regulatory requirements through its management system.

NOTE 3 Certification of an FSMS according to ISO 22000 is a management system certification, not a product certification. Other FSMS users can use the concepts and requirements of this document provided that the requirements are adapted as necessary.

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.

This document specifies chemical and labelling requirements for alcohol based hand sanitizers.

This standard applies to over-the-counter alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

This standard does not apply to:

a)              Non-alcohol based hand sanitizers;

b)              medical-grade hand sanitizers;

hand sanitizers used for surgical application

This standard specifies the minimum requirements and test methods for sodium hypochlorite solutions (liquid chlorine bleaches), including scented solutions. This standard also specifies the requirements for labelling and characteristics of containers.

This standard applies to solutions which contain sodium hypochlorite as the only active ingredient.

This standard does not apply to industrial grade sodium hypochlorite solutions.

This standard establishes the procedures for operations to retain pressure control of the well under pre-kick conditions and recommended practices to be utilized during a kick.
 
Recommended Practice 75 is available for purchase at the https://www.apiwebstore.org/standards/59 . 

This recommended practice provides companies engaged in offshore operations with a framework for the establishment, implementation, and maintenance of a Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) to manage and reduce risks associated with safety and the environment to prevent incidents and events.

This recommended practice applies, in part or whole, to companies engaged in offshore operations, from lease evaluation through decommissioning.

For the purpose of simplicity and clarity in this recommended practice, the word “safety” or “safely” can refer to the management of safety and environmental risks.

NOTE Although this recommended practice is written for offshore operations, its principles can be applied to other offshore industries after performing an engineering and management analysis.
