Scope:
This document specifies and gives guidelines for a standard test method for the assessment, using human participants, of thermal comfort in vehicles. It is not restricted to any particular vehicle but provides the general principles that allow assessment and evaluation. The method can be used to determine a measure of the performance of a vehicle for conditions of interest, in terms of whether it provides thermal comfort to people or not. This can be used in vehicle development and evaluation.
This document is applicable to all types of vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, off-road vehicles, trains, aircraft, ships, submarines, and to the cabins of cranes and similar spaces. It applies where people are enclosed in a vehicle and when they are exposed to outside conditions. For those exposed to outside conditions, such as riders of bicycles or motorcycles, drivers of open sports cars and operators of fork lift trucks without cabins, vehicle speed and weather conditions can dominate responses. The principles of assessment, however, still apply.
This document applies to both passengers and operators of vehicles where its application does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
It describes the principles of the assessment and evaluation of thermal comfort, including the use of test methods and trials. It also describes subjective methods that can be used in assessment.

Scope:
ISO 14505-3:2006 gives guidelines and specifies a standard test method for the assessment, using human subjects, of thermal comfort in vehicles. It is not restricted to any particular vehicle but provides the general principles that allow assessment and evaluation. The method can be used to determine a measure of the performance of a vehicle for conditions of interest, in terms of whether it provides thermal comfort to people or not. This can be used in vehicle development and evaluation.
ISO 14505-3:2006 is applicable to all types of vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks, off-road vehicles, trains, aircraft, ships, submarines, and to the cabins of cranes and similar spaces. It applies where people are enclosed in a vehicle and when they are exposed to outside conditions. For those exposed to outside conditions, such as riders of bicycles or motorcycles, drivers of open sports cars and operators of fork lift trucks without cabins, vehicle speed and weather conditions can dominate responses. The principles of assessment, however, will still apply.
ISO 14505-3:2006 applies to both passengers and operators of vehicles where its application does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

Ships and marine technology -- Marine environment protection -- Arrangement and management of port waste reception facilities
Scope:
This document provides a method for addressing ship generated waste and cargo residues from when they are offloaded from the ship, to how they are managed ashore. The provision, operation and use of port reception facilities (PRFs) are inherently linked, so this document addresses the design of PRFs, and their operation and management. This document is designed to be used by ports and terminals with existing PRFs which aim to refine their systems; it can also be used by new ports and terminals that are developing PRFs.
Parties to MARPOL are obligated as Port States to ensure that port reception facilities (PRFs) adequate to meet the needs of the ships using them without causing undue delay are provided at their ports and terminals. MARPOL does not seek to regulate the management of ship generated waste and cargo residues at ports and terminals beyond the reception facility requirement. However, ports and terminals may need to consider national, regional and local regulations. While these regulations can exceed the scope of MARPOL, the IMO recognises the need to manage ship generated waste and cargo residues at ports and terminals as part of an environmentally sound management approach for avoiding, minimising, and eliminating pollution from ships.
In consideration of above, this document applies to the management of ship generated waste and cargo residues regulated by MARPOL that are discharged at ports and terminals. It also covers principles and issues that should be considered in the development of a PWMP, its implementation and PRF operations. The operation of any PRF is governed by the principles and procedures included in the PWMP. The procedures to operate the PRF and the development of a PWMP are closely linked and therefore are integrated into this document.
This document addresses the principles and issues that should be considered in:
- The development of a port waste management strategy;
- The design and operation of PRF;
- PWMP development, implementation and compliance; and
- PRF management and accountability.
This document has been designed to be used by ports and terminals of any size. It does not give specifics on the size or location of a PRF in each port, but provides a list of principles to be considered and applied to any size of type of port or terminal (e.g. marina, fishing port, container terminal, oil terminal, roll on/roll off terminal, cruise terminal, ferry terminal, bulk or general cargo terminal, ship repair or recycling facility, and offshore terminal). Inland ports and marinas and those ports that have entered regional arrangements for the provision of a PRF can also use this document.

Instrumental Odour Monitoring Systems (IOMS) - Part 1: Definitions and general aspects
Scope:
This document specifies:
— definitions of specific terms used in this series of documents
— general aspects of IOMS design and management
— contexts of application where the use of IOMS is examined in this series of documents
— minimal documentation for the management of an IOMS.
This document covers definitions and general aspects relating to instrumental odour monitoring in:
1) ambient air
2) ambient air at the fence line of the source installation
3) odorous gas emissions, including waste gases upstream of odorant abatement devices.
This document does not apply to definitions and general aspects relating to:
a) determination of the odour concentration in ouE/m3, for which the reference method is specified in EN 13725. This document is not aimed at demonstrating equivalence between the determination of olfactory stimulus quantity using an IOMS and the method described in EN 13725 and letting an IOMS to implement an alternative method to EN 13725
b) monitoring of hedonic tone (or pleasantness or unpleasantness)
c) monitoring of odour annoyance
d) health and safety air monitoring.

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-118: Particular requirements for professional ice-cream makers
Scope:
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This part of IEC 60335 deals with the safety of appliances for making ice cream and artisan gelato exclusively operated by professional users.
Ice cream makers intended for professional use are employed in commercial environments, such as restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, shops, as well as in preparation areas of bars, bakeries, ice cream shops, institutional catering, and other similar professional settings.
Appliances taken into account are those intended for commercial use and similar appliances not intended for normal household use but which can nevertheless be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, stores, by artisans or on
farms, which rated voltage is not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.
Appliances covered by this standard are provided with a refrigerant condensing unit which is usually incorporated, but for some appliances can be remote.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by these types of appliances including those that use flammable refrigerants and appliances employing R-744 refrigerant.
This standard is not applicable to appliances with a mass of flammable refrigerant exceeding the limits specified in 22.112 or to appliances with that use refrigerants with a toxicity classification of B according to ISO 817.
It does not cover those features of construction and operation of refrigerating appliances that are dealt with in ISO standards.
This standard also applies to following types of appliances:
– mixers to make ice cream and similar pastry products in which, for the preparation of the product, heating process is made within the appliance before the cooling process;
– appliances for storing whipping cream mix in a refrigerated tank and for whipping the cream for the delivery process;
– freezers designed to produce soft ice cream and dispense it directly into containers;
– machines for soft-serve ice cream;
– batch dispensing freezers.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– countries can have additional requirements for appliances incorporating pressure vessels;
– in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities;
– for appliances or parts of appliances intended to be used outdoors, additional requirements can be necessary.
This standard does not apply to:
– split systems having a refrigerant charge of flammable refrigerant exceeding 150 g in any refrigerating circuit;
– ice cream appliances for household use (IEC 60335-2-24);
– appliances intended exclusively for industrial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).
