Soil quality - Screening soils for selected elements by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using a handheld or portable instrument (ISO 13196:2026)
Scope: This document specifies the procedure for screening soils for selected elements using handheld or portable equipment for energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (ED-XRF). It covers the application of this screening method to obtain qualitative or semi-quantitative data to assist decisions on a sampling strategy for detailed assessment of soil quality employing laboratory analytical chemical methods.
NOTE 1 Screening methods generally provide qualitative or semi-quantitative concentration values that are indicative of concentration values, although occasionally they can give quantitative results under specific or limited conditions.
NOTE 2 The greater the effort applied to the pretreatment of soil samples, the better the analytical results that can be expected (see e.g. Reference [19]).
This document does not explicitly specify elements for which it is applicable, since the applicability depends on the performance of the apparatus and the objective of the screening. The elements which can be determined are limited by the performance of the instrument used, the concentrations of particular elements present in the soil, and the requirements of the investigation in terms of the minimum concentrations of concern (e.g. guideline value).
NOTE 3 The XRF measurements of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, V and Zn were validated as described in Annex A.
NOTE 4 Annex B provides examples of when screening with a handheld ED-XRF spectrometer and a portable ED-XRF spectrometer can be useful.
This document does not provide guidance on how to use the equipment to provide quantitative data for use in detailed site assessments. This document does not cover how the results of multiple determinations are synthesized to address the objectives of an ED-XRF determination.

Guidelines for Disaster Risk Preparedness Solutions - Project tools, platforms and processes - Good practice recommendations
Scope: This CEN Workshop Agreement provides guidance for the preparedness phase of disaster risk management. It focuses on the alignment of how tools, platforms, and processes developed for disaster risk preparedness are presented, organised, maintained, and made discoverable, providing a practical reference of good practices that research and innovation (R&I) projects and other stakeholders can adopt and adapt.
This CWA addresses the documentation and presentation of preparedness solutions developed through research, innovation and operational programmes. It promotes the adoption of shared descriptors and quality practices so that these outputs can be more easily identified, compared and applied by different organisations.
It also covers aspects of governance, sustainability, interoperability and communication that influence how such solutions are developed, accessed and retained.
Examples of preparedness solutions include but are not limited to emergency communications systems, digital twins or other systems to gather data and show the operational picture, risk assessment modules, decision support systems, and training modules.
The recommendations are designed to support:
− teams, organisations or bodies undertaking research and innovation activities that produce preparedness solutions;
− teams, organisations or bodies undertaking initiatives that identify, assess or select preparedness solutions for operational or policy use;
− civil-protection and emergency-management authorities;
− practitioner and responder organisations;
− policy and funding bodies seeking to align or evaluate initiatives; and
− entities responsible for maintaining catalogues, repositories or training material.
This CWA applies to preparedness solutions addressing both rapid-onset and slow-onset hazards, recognising that different hazard dynamics may influence how preparedness activities are documented and presented. It is applicable to both digital and non-digital outputs, ranging from software platforms and data services to operational procedures, training frameworks and collaborative processes.
While primarily intended for European use, the guidance may also inform cooperation and exchange beyond Europe where appropriate.
This CWA does not prescribe any particular technical architecture, management structure or legal arrangement. It provides a voluntary reference that organisations can adopt or adapt to suit their own context. It is not intended to establish conformity assessment, auditing or certification schemes. Users remain responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable legislation, standards and organisational requirements.
The scope of this CWA is limited to the preparedness phase of disaster risk management. Certain elements of the recommendations may also prove useful for prevention, mitigation, response or recovery activities; however, those areas lie outside the present Scope.

Carbon dioxide capture, transportation and storage — Carbon dioxide storage using enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR)
Scope: This document provides requirements for demonstrating that the site in question is adequate to provide safe, long-term containment of CO2, for demonstrating that the CO2 flood is operated in a way to assure containment of the CO2 in the EOR complex, and for quantifying associated storage.
This document applies to CO2 that is injected in enhanced recovery operations for oil and other hydrocarbons, including natural gas, (CO2-EOR) for which quantification of CO2 that is safely stored long-term in association with the CO2-EOR project is sought. Recognizing that some CO2-EOR projects use non-anthropogenic CO2 in combination with anthropogenic CO2, the document also shows how allocation ratios can be utilized for optional calculations to quantify the portion of associated storage comprised of anthropogenic CO2 (see Annex A).
This document does not apply to quantification of CO2 injected into reservoirs where no hydrocarbon production is anticipated or occurring.
Storage of CO2 in geologic formations that do not contain hydrocarbons is covered by ISO 27914 even if located above or below hydrocarbon producing reservoirs. If storage of CO2 is conducted in a reservoir from which hydrocarbons were previously produced but will no longer be produced in paying or commercial quantities, such storage would be subject to the requirements of ISO 27914.
This document addresses:
safe, long-term containment of CO2 within the EOR complex;
CO2 leakage from the EOR complex through leakage pathways; and
on-site CO2-EOR project loss of CO2 from wells, equipment, or other facilities.
This document does not address the following:
lifecycle emissions, including but not limited to CO2 emissions from capture or transportation of CO2, on-site emissions from combustion or power generation, and CO2 emissions resulting from the combustion of produced hydrocarbons;
storage of CO2 above ground;
buffer and seasonal storage of CO2 below ground (similar to natural gas storage);
)any technique or product that does not involve injection of CO2 into the subsurface; and
emissions of any greenhouse gases (GHGs) other than CO2.
NOTE Some authorities can require other GHG components of the CO2 stream to be quantified.

Ventilation systems for nuclear facilities — In-situ efficiency test methods for iodine traps with solid sorbent — Part 2: Radioactive CH3I method
Scope: This document specifies a test method using radioactive methyl iodide (CH3131I) as a tracer to determine the in-situ decontamination factor of an iodine trap. An in-situ test allows to reach the global efficiency of the trap characterized by the sorbent efficiency but also by the implementation of the trap within the ventilation duct) while the intrinsic efficiency of a charcoal is characterized in a laboratory by ISO 18417[9] (or other national standards such as ASTM D3803[10]).
This document provides general and common requirements for this method to assess the efficiency of an iodine trap, but also, the tools requirements, accuracy and the provisions needed to ensure safety of the workers, public and the environment during the test.
This reproducible method can support nuclear facility operators as a reference method to compare the decontamination factor evaluated by this method to reference values (e.g. safety criteria, national legislation, etc.).
Because of the use of a radioactive tracer, some precautions should be applied.
Firstly, this method is usually used for ventilation systems with monitoring of gaseous iodine releases in environment in accordance with the national regulations.
Secondly, this method is not used to determine the decontamination factor of iodine traps used in ventilation systems with air release in rooms with potential presence of workers (e.g. control room). For those rooms, a non-radioactive method is preferred.
This document can apply to installations with low inventory of radioiodine equipped with iodine traps (e.g. small laboratories). In this case, some provisions can be adapted but always in accordance with the national regulations.
Finally, this document mainly deals with iodine traps using impregnated activated carbon. However, this method can be used with some adaptations to other solid sorbent as inorganic sorbent (e.g. zeolite – aluminium and silica base usually doped with silver nitrate – or impregnated catalytic supports[11][12]).

Soil quality - Screening soils for selected elements by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using a handheld or portable instrument (ISO 13196:2013)
Scope: This International Standard specifies the procedure for screening soils and soil-like materials for selected elements when handheld or portable energy-dispersive XRF spectrometers are used. This quick method is assumed to be applied on-site to obtain qualitative or semiquantitative data that assists decisions on further sampling strategy for assessing soil quality. The higher the efforts for pretreatment used on soil samples, the better the analytical results can be expected (see e.g. Reference[4]).
This International Standard does not explicitly specify elements for which it is applicable, since the applicability depends on the performance of the apparatus and the objective of the screening. The elements which can be determined are limited by the performance of the instruments used, the concentration of the element present in the soil, and the requirements of the investigation (e.g. guideline value).
For Hg, Cd, Co, Mo, V and Sb, a majority of instruments are not sensitive enough to reach sufficiently low limits of quantification (LOQ) to meet the requirements (limit or threshold values) set in the ordinances of different countries. In this case, other methods need to be employed to measure these low concentrations. Usually, wet chemical methods are used, based on aqua regia extracts, in combination with optical or mass spectrometric (MS) methods like atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES) or ICP–MS.

Fire tests for building elements and components -- Fire testing of service installations -- Part 1: Penetration seals
Scope: ISO 10295-1:2007 specifies the heating condition, method of test and criteria for the evaluation of the ability of a penetration sealing system to maintain the integrity and insulation of a fire separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated, for example by a service.
ISO 10295-1:2007 assesses the effect of such penetrations on the integrity and insulation performance of the element concerned, the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration sealing system, the insulation performance of the penetrating service or services, and where appropriate, the integrity failure of a service.
ISO 10295-1:2007 does not provide information concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and sealing systems on the load-bearing capacity of the element.
It is possible that a penetration seal is a component of, or contributes to the performance of, a system to which special requirements apply. In such cases additional tests, relevant to the system and its function, can be necessary. Examples are chimneys and fire-rated ducts in air distribution systems.
ISO 10295-1:2007 is not intended to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are to be noted in describing the general behaviour of specimens during test.
ISO 10295-1:2007 does not provide information on the ability of the seal to withstand stresses that can be caused by the movement or displacement of the penetration services in practice.

Carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological storage -- Carbon dioxide storage using enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR)
Scope: 1.1 Applicability This document applies to carbon dioxide (CO2) that is injected in enhanced recovery operations for oil and other hydrocarbons (CO2-EOR) for which quantification of CO2 that is safely stored long-term in association with the CO2-EOR project is sought. Recognizing that some CO2-EOR projects use non-anthropogenic CO2 in combination with anthropogenic CO2, the document also shows how allocation ratios could be utilized for optional calculations of the anthropogenic portion of the associated stored CO2 (see Annex B).
1.2 Non-applicability This document does not apply to quantification of CO2 injected into reservoirs where no hydrocarbon production is anticipated or occurring. Storage of CO2 in geologic formations that do not contain hydrocarbons is covered by ISO 27914 even if located above or below hydrocarbon producing reservoirs. If storage of CO2 is conducted in a reservoir from which hydrocarbons were previously produced but will no longer be produced in paying or commercial quantities, or where the intent of CO2 injection is not to enhance hydrocarbon recovery, such storage would also be subject to the requirements of ISO 27914.
1.3 Standard boundary 1.3.1 Inclusions The conceptual boundary of this document for CO2 stored in association with CO2-EOR includes:
a) safe, long-term containment of CO2 within the EOR complex;
b) CO2 leakage from the EOR complex through leakage pathways; and
c) on-site CO2-EOR project loss of CO2 from wells, equipment or other facilities.
1.3.2 Exclusions This document does not include the following:
a) lifecycle emissions, including but not limited to CO2 emissions from capture or transportation of CO2, on-site emissions from combustion or power generation, and CO2 emissions resulting from the combustion of produced hydrocarbons;
b) storage of CO2 above ground;
c) buffer and seasonal storage of CO2 below ground (similar to natural gas storage);
d) any technique or product that does not involve injection of CO2 into the subsurface; and
e) emissions of any GHGs other than CO2.
NOTE Some authorities might require other GHG components of the CO2 stream to be quantified.

Occupational health and safety management systems - Requirements with guidance for use (ISO/DIS 45001:2026)
Scope: ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.
ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities.
ISO 45001:2018 helps an organization to achieve the intended outcomes of its OH&S management system. Consistent with the organization's OH&S policy, the intended outcomes of an OH&S management system include:
a) continual improvement of OH&S performance;
b) fulfilment of legal requirements and other requirements;
c) achievement of OH&S objectives.
ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It is applicable to the OH&S risks under the organization's control, taking into account factors such as the context in which the organization operates and the needs and expectations of its workers and other interested parties.
ISO 45001:2018 does not state specific criteria for OH&S performance, nor is it prescriptive about the design of an OH&S management system.
ISO 45001:2018 enables an organization, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such as worker wellness/wellbeing.
ISO 45001:2018 does not address issues such as product safety, property damage or environmental impacts, beyond the risks to workers and other relevant interested parties.
ISO 45001:2018 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve occupational health and safety management. However, claims of conformity to this document are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's OH&S management system and fulfilled without exclusion.
