Separation Standards development

In Canada, the system is somewhat similar to the United States, in the development of building codes and an electrical code, but the organization developing them is a part of the National Research Council, and not a separate standards developing organization, as in the United States. 

In the second half of the 1960s, at the same time but independently, three basically different plastic separators were developed. One was the polyethylene separator [16] already referred to in starter batteries, used only rarely in stationary batteries, but successful in traction batteries. The others were the microporous phenolic resin separator (DARAK) [18] and a microporous PVC separator [19], both of which became accepted as the standard separation for stationary batteries. They distinguish themselves by high porosity (about 70 percent) and thus very low electrical resistance and very low acid displacement, both important criteria for stationary batteries. 

Two main standards were developed, one for the sweeteners showing UV absorption, i.e. acesulfame, aspartame and saccharin,36 and a separate standard for cyclamate37 which does not show a substantial UV absorption. Both standards use HPLC and propose specific sample preparation procedures. HPLC is also the suitable technique for the quantitative determination of sucralose.38... 

Because coated fabrics are generally dealt with in separate standards committees, and because the thinner coatings are not strong enough to allow the use of the peel methods described above, separate standards have been developed for these products. The problem of failure in the coating is overcome by using reinforcements of fabric or cement. These methods are really product tests and outside the scope of this book but the appropriate references can be noted. The international standard for coated fabrics is ISO 241144, the British methods are identical as BS EN ISO 2411 and the ASTM methods are in D75145. There are also methods for conveyor belts in ISO 252-146. 

With increasingly networked, distributed computer systems the risk of deliberate malicious interactions, using software-based tools, became a serious threat. Many-fold related issues like data protection, privacy, integrity, authenticity, and denial of service attacks, viruses, worms etc. lead to a separate community to be established, which is nowadays in the main focus of the public as was safety some time ago (and still is—but only after catastrophic events). This community developed separate standards, methods, taxonomy and ways of thinking. 

Once a separation is developed, several pieces of information about the sample can be ascertained from the chromatogram. First, by counting the peaks, one can estimate how many components are present in the mixture. Second, by the use of standards, both the identity and concentration of each compound present can be obtained. Lastly, if the mixture is totally unknown, the peaks can be collected and the identity confirmed by other instrumental methods of chemical analysis (e.g., infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, or mass spectroscopy). 

The ISO 9000 quality standard was developed from the original BS 5750 quality standards and was issued in 1987. The standard was adopted as a European standard, EN29000, in 1988, and is one set of a whole set of ISO standards. The main part of the ISO 9000 standard is made up of three separate standards ... 

The modulus is calculated as the chord value between 0.0005 ( = 0.05%) and 0.0025 (= 0.25%) strain to agree with Part 1 of ISO 527. However, the EN Aerospace series still uses load-based criteria (c.f. allowable strain design limits used) to determine the modulus (i.c.. between 0.1 and 0.5 of the maximum load). The specimen preparation details are given now in a "normative annex, prior to development of a separate standard on this aspect, as proposed in a CEN study item. The remaining differences between various versions of the tensile test to be tackled in the next revisions arc given in Table 4. 

ISO 14000 is a development of ISO 9000. It also consists of a set of voluntary standards— with a focus on environmental systems and management. Ultimately, ISO 14000 will incorporate 20 separate standards covering a wide range of topics, including environmental auditing, labeling, and product life cycles. 

In 1947 ASSE reestablished itself as an independent organization, separate from NSC. ASSE participated in standards development and President Harry Truman s Special Commission on Safety and Health. 

Standard Development. The standard method of development has already been described in the preceding paragraphs. If the TLC characteristics of the analyte are unknown, a simple single-component mobile phase is preferable for preliminary experiments aimed at establishing separation behavior. If no single-component mobile phase provides the separation desired, however, multicomponent systems should be examined. 

What are the limits of the approximated expression Eq. 4 Mainly those due to the mean-field nature of PB. For, say, 99 % of the studied systems, the ions are monovalent, ion-ion correlations in water can be safely ignored, and the standard expression is valid. This is no more the case in presence of multivalent counterions (or monovalent ions in solvent of low e). That opens to the fascinating concept of electrostatic attraction between hke-charged colloids, subject of numerous false analyses, debates, and controversies in the literature for 30 years. Figure 1 presents Monte Carlo (MC) simulations data for the force vs. separation law within the primitive model (two latex colloids and ions in continuous solvent) in presence of counterions of increasing valence. While the PB/DLVO prediction remains everywhere repulsive, the exact MC behavior deviates at intermediate separation and develops an attractive well deeper and deeper as the valence increases above 3. This non mean-field effect is due to the repulsions and correlations among the counterions localized in the intersticial region (discreteness of the condensed layer). The same type of colloidal attraction is responsible for a liquid-gas (concentrated solution-dilute solution) phase separation, observed... 

The establishment of a standard in general, and for an occupational health and safety system in particular, takes a lot of time. This is especially so because employers federations have been against the development of an occupational health and safety standard for fear of the proliferation of certification. However the new ISO 9000 (2000 version) is a formal management system, which defines the environment within a business and can also take into account requirements for an occupational health and safety system. It offers opportunities, for example through ITA s, to add health and safety requirements to the management system, even if there are no regulatory requirements or standards to date. This being the case, it is questionable whether there is a real need to have a separate standard for an occupational health and safety system, because it can be treated as part of (Total) quality. 

The Mu-meter is a trailer towed by a vehicle. The tester measures the side force friction of pavement. The results are expressed as Mu numbers. Skid resistance of paved surfaces is measured by a tester developed by North Carolina State University. This tester is a pendulum tester using a smooth rubber tire. The friction between the tire and the specimen is measured from the energy lost in the pendulum. A standard specification for a smooth tire is covered in a separate standard. ... 

External Mitigation due to Separate Software Development to a Recognized Standard... 

In parallel with the development efforts commencing on IEC80001, in 2006 CfH started work as part of a team looking at introducing a separate standard for safety related (but not medical device classified) health systems. This work generated a pair of health standards ... 

The Supplement B (reference) contains a description of the process to render an automatic construction of mathematical models with the application of electronic computer. The research work of the Institute of the applied mathematics of The Academy of Sciences ( Ukraine) was assumed as a basis for the Supplement. The prepared mathematical model provides the possibility to spare strength and to save money, usually spent for the development of the mathematical models of each separate enterprise. The model provides the possibility to execute the works standard forms and records for the non-destructive inspection in complete correspondence with the requirements of the Standard. 

The draft standard was then developed so that it was possible to classify both types of film in separate groups. The first being a Classical film, the second a Wide Latitude film. The density range of the standard covered from D=2.0 to D=4.0. A radiographer would expect the contrast to be higher at D=4.0 than the contrast at D=2.0.
