Carbon footprint calculation applicable to industrial lithium-ion batteries - Part 1: General requirements and methodology
Käsitlusala: IEC 63369-1:2026 addresses general requirements and methodology, whereas intended IEC 63369-2 and intended IEC 63369-3 address applications of the methodology and default values of the CFF parameters by geographic area (see Annex B).

This document provides a comprehensive methodology for the calculation of carbon footprint of industrial type Li-ion battery systems from cradle to grave.

Second life and/or usage that was not intended when the battery was put on the market is not taken into account in this document.

This document, along with the other parts of this series, does not apply to batteries for portable, SLI and electric road vehicle traction applications. The definition of the parameters used for the carbon footprint calculation allows for comparability of results for all rechargeable Li-ion chemistries.

Classes of representative products are defined in this document to allow comparison inside each class.

This methodology, based on the data provided by the battery manufacturer, is mainly intended to allow a carbon footprint assessment of several battery solutions over the Cumulated Requested Service (CRS). This assessment can be used in the selection process of the battery purchaser.

The methodology can also be used for a variety of purposes such as battery system development, eco-design and participation in voluntary or mandatory programs.

The methodology in this document is based exclusively on attributional life cycle assessment (LCA).

The carbon footprint calculation of charging equipment and power conversion equipment not necessary for battery functions is not covered in this document.

Radiological protection - Characteristics of reference pulsed radiation - Part 1: Photon radiation (ISO 18090-1:2026)
Käsitlusala: This document is directly applicable to pulsed X-radiation with pulse duration of 0,1 ms up to 10 s. This range covers the whole range used in medical diagnostics at the time of publication. Some specifications can also be applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the air kerma of one pulse. Such a pulse can be produced, e.g. by X-ray flash units or high-intensity femtosecond-lasers. Other specifications are not applicable for much shorter pulses; one example is the time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate. This cannot be measurable for technical reasons as no suitable instrument is available, e.g. for pulses produced by a femtosecond-laser.
This document specifies the characteristics of reference pulsed radiation for calibrating and testing radiation protection dosemeters and dose rate meters with respect to their response to pulsed radiation. At this point, it is only concerned with the characteristics of single pulses. Single pulses are the most difficult for dosemeters to measure. Determining the dose for repeated pulses is easier, but still more difficult than for continuous radiation, i.e. the performance of the dosemeters when measuring repeated pulses lies between these extremes. The radiation characteristics includes the following:

time-dependent behaviour of the air kerma rate of the pulse;
time-dependent behaviour of the X-ray tube high voltage during the pulse;
uniformity of the air kerma rate within a cross-sectional area of the radiation beam;
air kerma of one radiation pulse;
air kerma rate of the radiation pulse;
repetition frequency.

This document does not define new radiation qualities but uses those radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards. Instead, this document gives the link between the parameters for pulsed radiation and the parameters for continuous radiation specifying the radiation qualities. It does not specify specific values or series of values for the pulsed radiation field but specifies only those limits for the relevant pulsed radiation parameters that are required for calibrating dosemeters and dose rate meters and for determining their response depending on the said parameters.
The pulse parameters with respect to the phantom-related quantities were determined using conversion coefficients according to ISO 4037 (all parts). This is possible as the radiation qualities specified in existing ISO and IEC standards are used.
A given reference pulsed X-ray facility is characterized by the parameter ranges over which the full specifications and requirements according to this document are met. Therefore, not all reference pulsed X-ray facilities can produce pulses covering the same parameter ranges.

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-109: Particular requirements for UV radiation water treatment appliances
Käsitlusala: IEC 60335-2-109:2023+AMD1:2026 CSV deals with the safety of UV radiation water treatment appliances for household and similar use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances. Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless can be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops and in light industry and farms, are within the scope of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
- persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
- children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
- for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
- in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to
- pumps (IEC 60335-2-41);
- luminaires for aquariums (IEC 60598-2-11);
- luminaires for swimming pools and similar applications (IEC 60598-2-18);
- appliances intended exclusively for professional use;
- 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).

Sustainable finance — Net zero transition planning for financial institutions
Käsitlusala: This document specifies requirements and recommendations for strategic transition planning by financial institutions, designed to protect and enhance value by supporting institutions’ response and contribution to a global net zero and climate-resilient economy. The requirements and recommendations are designed to enable financial institutions to develop and maintain transition planning objectives and targets that advance the temperature and resilience goals of the Paris Agreement[23], and establish robust policies and processes to integrate these into their financial activities.
This document is applicable to any financial institution, regardless of size, type and geographic location, with a particular focus on banking, insurance and investment institutions. Its provisions are applied in the context of the institution’s particular business model.
NOTE 1        Some considerations specific to particular institution types are included in guidance notes. Additional guidance on product attributes specific to different types of financial institution can be found in Annex A.
This document is applicable to all financial activities (including lending, insurance, asset owner investing, asset manager investing and capital market activities) that the institution determines it can either control or influence, using a life cycle perspective (e.g. those described in 7.2.2). It can also be applicable to relevant financial activities within real economy institutions and emerging financial institution types, many of which leverage digital technologies and can be subject to different or bespoke regulatory frameworks (e.g. decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms).
NOTE 2        This document is intended for global application, recognizing that some financial institutions, including those in some emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs), can face constraints in the local enabling regulatory environment and data availability. It therefore seeks to ensure flexibility and proportionality in application, as appropriate.
NOTE 3 Documents on asset management developed by ISO/TC 251, including ISO 55000[18], ISO 55001[19] and detailed guidance in ISO 55002[20], can be useful for financial institution asset management activity, particularly as it relates to alignment of asset management with business objectives (e.g. those related to transition planning).

Soil quality — Screening soils for selected elements by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using a handheld or portable instrument
Käsitlusala: 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.

Ventilation systems for nuclear facilities — In-situ efficiency test methods for iodine traps with solid sorbent — Part 3: Cyclohexane gas leakage rate method
Käsitlusala: ISO 16659 series provide different test methods aiming at assessing the performances of radioactive iodine traps in ventilation systems of nuclear facilities. This series deals with iodine traps with solid sorbent, mainly activated and impregnated charcoal, the most common solid sorbents used in ventilation systems of nuclear facilities, as well as other sorbents for special conditions (e.g. high temperature zeolites). ISO 16659-1 provides the general requirements to be applied for all methods of the series.
The scope of this document is to provide general and generic requirements for the test method using cyclohexane (C6H12) as a tracer to determine the mechanical leakage rate of iodine trap. This reproducible method can support nuclear operators to compare the result with reference values given in safety reports.
Unlike the method of radioactive methyl iodide described in ISO 16659-2, the cyclohexane field test method covered in this document does not directly give a decontamination factor for the iodine trap, but only the iodine trap performance information of an integrity test.
Due to the use of the environmentally friendly test reagent of low-toxicity in the field tests, the method is mainly suitable for ventilation systems of those habitable spaces (e.g. main control rooms of nuclear power plants), and performance test of a single iodine trap before its delivery and acceptance. In addition, the method can also be used for iodine traps with activated carbon sampling canister (e.g. deep bed iodine trap Type III and Drawer iodine trap Type II).

Soil quality -- Screening soils for selected elements by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry using a handheld or portable instrument
Käsitlusala: ISO 13196:2013 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.
ISO 13196:2013 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.

Water quality - Gross alpha and gross beta activity - Test method using thin source deposit (ISO/DIS 10704:2026)
Käsitlusala: This document specifies a method for the determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentration for alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides. Gross alpha and gross beta activity measurement is not intended to give an absolute determination of the activity concentration of all alpha and beta emitting radionuclides in a test sample, but is a screening analysis to ensure particular reference levels of specific alpha and beta emitters have not been exceeded. This type of determination is also known as gross alpha and gross beta index. Gross alpha and gross beta analysis is not expected to be as accurate nor as precise as specific radionuclide analysis after radiochemical separations. Maximum beta energies of approximately 0,1 MeV or higher are well measured. It is possible that low energy beta emitters can not detected (e.g. 3H, 55Fe, 241Pu) or can only be partially detected (e.g. 14C, 35S, 63Ni, 210Pb, 228Ra). The method covers non-volatile radionuclides, since some gaseous or volatile radionuclides (e.g. radon and radioiodine) can be lost during the source preparation. The method is applicable to test samples of drinking water, rainwater, surface and ground water as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic and industrial wastewater after proper sampling, sample handling, and test sample preparation (filtration when necessary and taking into account the amount of dissolved material in the water). The method described in this document is applicable in the event of an emergency situation, because the results can be obtained in less than 1 h. Detection limits reached for gross alpha and gross beta are less than 10 Bq/l and 20 Bq/l respectively. The evaporation of 10 ml sample is carried out in 20 min followed by 10 min counting with window-proportional counters. It is the laboratory's responsibility to ensure the suitability of this test method for the water samples tested.

Assessment of material recyclability rate and material recoverability rate of products
Käsitlusala:

IEC 62635 provides a method to calculate the material recyclability rate of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) during the design phase using material recycling rate data based on EoL treatment scenarios. It also provides a method to calculate material recoverability rate based on material recovery rate data. This document sets up criteria and a format to describe the EoL treatment scenarios. Additionally, the method can be also applied for the calculation of recyclability and recoverability of materials of interest such as CRMs.
To achieve the above, this document addresses:
– A default EoL treatment scenario for material recycling and for material recovery,
– Examples of EoL treatment scenarios and the corresponding material recovery and material recycling rates,
– Provisions for product information from manufacturers to EoL treatment operators to improve material recycling and recovery rates,
– Provisions for EoL treatment information from EoL treatment operators to manufacturers to build EoL treatment scenarios.
This document does not address the recovery of products and parts for reuse and product packaging.
