European Standardisation Organisation

A number of these IFU methods have provided the basis for those published for fruit and vegetable juices by CEN, the European standardisation organisation, which have been adopted by the member states of the European Union as national standard methods. There are 24 listed on the British Standards website (http //www.bsi-global.com). They can be purchased from this website and should also be available from other standardisation organisations within the European Union and affiliated states such as Switzerland. They are also likely... 

Methods for the determination of protective clothing have been standardized for both protective function and clothing comfort for different types of protective clothing by various international, national and industrial organizations including International Standard Organisation (ISO), European Standardisation Organisations (CEN), British Standard (BS) and ASTM/AATCC. 

The development of methods of analysis for incorporation into International Standards or into foodstuff legislation was, until comparatively recently, not systematic. However, the EU and Codex have requirements regarding methods of analysis and these are outlined below. They are followed by other International Standardising Organisations (e.g. AOAC International (AOACI) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)). 

There are other international standardising organisations, most notably the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and AOACI, which follow similar requirements. Although CEN methods are not prescribed by legislation, the European Commission places considerable importance on the work that CEN carries out in the development of specific methods in the food sector CEN...

For continuation of the work on standardisation in the field of NDT TD, Gosstandardt set up a Technical Committee on Standardisation Technical Diagnostics and Non-Destructive Testing (TC-78) This is a social organisation which unites the leading experts on TD NDT, and determines the priority areas of work, and qualified performers in the field of TD NDT Its main aim is unification of the standards of Ukraine with the European norms. 

It is widely known that standards define the advanced state of the art in a well-defined system. They describe technical rules which have been tested and proven and are accepted practice in the commercial world. Most standards have been studied and developed in European countries (Italy CUNA, Germany DIN, France AFNOR, Great Britain BSI etc.). The importance of internationally approved standards has increased recently because of growing world trade. In 1926, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) was founded to address these concerns. At present, ISO is made up of more than 140 different national standard organisations. 

Society for Testing and Material (ASTM), US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), Standard Methods for Water and Wastewater and Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN). 

Within the European Union, many organisations have decided on a voluntary basis to implement environmental management systems based on EN ISO 14001 1996 or the EU Eco-management and audit scheme EMAS. EMAS includes the management system requirements of EN ISO 14001, but places additional emphasis on legal compliance, environmental performance and employee involvement it also requires external verification of the management system and validation of a public environmental statement (in EN ISO 14001 self-declaration is an alternative to external verification). There are also many organisations that have decided to put in place non-standardised EMSs. 

The features described under (a) to (e) above are elements of EN ISO 14001 1996 and the European Community Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), whereas the features (f) and (g) are specific to EMAS. These two standardised systems are applied in a number of IPPC installations. As an example, 357 organisations within the EU chemical and chemical products industry (NACE code 24) were EMAS registered in July 2002, most of which operate IPPC installations. 

The method presented in this paper is avast improvement on the eCaU system currently being rolled out across EU which taps into eSafety initiative. It is part of comprehensive European Commission strategy aimed at improving road safety and transport efficiency across Europe, a joint effort of EC and Western European scientific centres. The European Committee for Standardisation CEN/ TC 278 as well as organisations the likes of ETSI and 3GPP have already embraced that concept.
