Soil improvers and growing media - Sampling
Scope:
This document specifies methods for sampling of soil improvers and growing media for subsequent determination of quality and quantity. It outlines the principles to be taken into consideration when taking the sample and ensuring an adequate quantity is available for testing.
This document applies to material in solid form (including pre-shaped growing media) and liquid form.
This document is intended to be used by manufacturers, buyers and enforcement agencies in verifying claims made for these materials. It is not intended that it should necessarily be used for the purpose of manufacturing control.
The requirements of this document can differ from the national legal requirements for the declaration of the material concerned.

Cigarettes — Determination of carbon monoxide in the vapour phase of cigarette smoke — NDIR method
Scope:
This document specifies a method for the determination of carbon monoxide (CO) in the vapour phase of mainstream cigarette smoke collected with the smoking regime specified in ISO 4387.

Animal feeding stuffs — Determination of phytase activity
Scope:
This document specifies the determination of phytase activity in feeding stuff samples, including feed raw materials from plant origin, compound feeds (complete, complementary, mineral feeds), premixtures and feed additives.
The method is applicable to, and is collaboratively validated for, the determination of phytase activity in complete feed, complementary feed including mineral feed, premixtures and feed additives.
The method does not distinguish between phytase added as a feed additive and endogenous phytase already present in the feed materials. Therefore, the method is also applicable for feed materials from plant origin.
The method does not apply to evaluating or comparing the in vivo efficacy of the phytase product. It is not a predictive method of the in vivo efficacy of phytases present on the market as they can develop different in vivo efficacy per unit of activity.

Scope:
ISO 30024:2009 specifies the determination of phytase activity in feed samples.
The method does not distinguish between phytase added as a feed additive and endogenous phytase already present in the feed materials.
The method cannot be used to evaluate or compare the in vivo efficacy of the phytase product. It is not a predictive method of the in vivo efficacy of phytases present on the market as they can develop different in vivo efficacy per unit of activity.
The method is suitable and validated exclusively for the determination of phytase activity and exclusively in complete feeds.

Soil improvers and growing media - Sampling
Scope:
This European Standard specifies methods for sampling soil improvers and growing media (excluding liming materials) for subsequent determination of quality and quantity. It outlines the principles to be taken into consideration when taking the sample and ensuring an adequate quantity is available for testing.
This standard only applies to material in solid form, including pre-shaped media.
This standard is intended to be used by manufacturers, buyers and enforcement agencies in verifying claims made for these products. It is not intended that it should necessarily be used for the purpose of manufacturing control.
The requirements of this standard may differ from the national legal requirements for the declaration of the product concerned.

Agricultural machinery - Safety - Compact carriers
Scope:
This document specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of compact carriers. It is intended to be used together with EN ISO 4254 1:20152. When provisions of this document are different from those which are stated in EN ISO 4254 1:2015, the provisions of this document take precedence over the provisions of EN ISO 4254 1:2015 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this document.
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to compact carriers, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer but also taking into account any reasonably foreseeable misuse thereof (see Annex A).
In addition, this document specifies the type of information on safe working practices that is provided by the manufacturer.
The following significant and relevant hazards are not covered in this document:
- design of machinery to facilitate its handling;
- external radiation;
- laser radiation;
- lightning;
- falling objects;
- towing devices;
- transmission of power between self-propelled machinery (or tractor) and recipient machinery;
and hazards related to:
- the presence of a seated operator;
- the environment on compact carrier intended for pesticide application;
- lifting operations;
- lifting of persons.
While this document does not deal with the design and construction of interchangeable equipment, requirements in this document also address hazards which can occur from the combination of compact carriers with interchangeable equipment as per multiple uses intended by the manufacturer of the compact carrier.
Compact carriers when provided with cab and provisions for fitting a cab are not dealt with this document.
This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.
