Almost without exception all the accepted criteria for full cathodic protection of iron are based on a potential measurement. The various recommended practices published by the US National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) give six criteria for full protection ". The current British Standard Code of Practice gives one. These are summarised in Table 10.3. Only the first three are useful the remainder are of dubious value or expressions of pious hope. 

The results of these experiments have been considered by the Joint Committee for the Co-ordination of the Cathodic Protection of Buried Structures and, in view of the various types of buried structures concerned and the circumstances in which field tests are conducted, the Committee decided not to amend its provisional recommendation that when cathodic protection is applied to a buried structure the maximum permissible potential change in the positive direction on a nearby pipe or cable should be 20 mV. If there is a history of corrosion on the unprotected installation no detectable positive change in structure/soil potential should be permitted. These criteria of interaction have been adopted in the British Standard Code of Practice for Cathodic Protection . 

The Codex Alimentarius is a collection of standards, codes of practice, guidelines, and other recommendations. Some of these texts are very general, and some are very specific. Some deal with detailed requirements related to a food or group of foods others deal with the operation and management of production processes or the operation of government regulatory systems for food safety and consumer protection. 

Much has been written about Loss Prevention, and HAZOP studies in particular, the volume of publications has grown considerably since the Flixborough disaster in 1974. Standards, Codes of Practice and Acts of Parliament provide essential information, and the references included here provide a good overview of the subject, and a basis for more detailed study. 

Since its inception, the CA Commission has produced a large volume of standards, codes of practice, and guidelines. It has developed more than 220 commodity standards, more than 40 codes of practice, a model food law, a code of ethics, and limits for more than 500 food additives. In addition, the commission scrutinized 2,000 pesticides and established limits on 200 of them (Mendez 1993). The work on pesticide residues has resulted in establishing maximum residue limits (MRLs) for a wide range of pesticides in many food commodities. The...

ABSTRACT The determination of loads from accidental fires with realistic accuracy in the oil gas industry offshore and petrochemical industry onshore is important for the prediction of exposure of persoimel, equipment and structures to the fires. Standards, Codes of Practice and other similar publications refer to thermal loading from jet fires from 100 to 400kW/m and from 50 to 250kW/m for pool fires. The application of inappropriate fire loads may lead to incorrect predictions of fatalities, explosion of pressure vessels and collapse of structures. Further uncertainties are associated with heat transfer from the flame to pressure equipment and strucmres, and their behaviour when affected by accidental fires. The Paper presents results of a review of fire models from various Standards and Codes of Practice, and data obtained from full scale tests. A parametric study of the various methods used in the industry is presented. A simulation-based reliability assessment (SBRA) method has been applied to quantify potential accuracy range and its consequences to fire effects on structures. 

The British Standard Code of Practice for protecting iron and steelwork from corrosion, BS 5493 1977 contains a section on inspection which may be helpful. This type of inspection is entirely unnecessary for very simple painting schemes. In such situations an occasional visit by an inspector may be sufficient to ensure acceptable results once initial standards of surface preparation and paint application have been established.

Severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, or where timber has become wet then followed by a hot dry spell, could so affect shoring, timbering etc. as to cause it to become dangerous. In these circumstances it is prudent to carry out a thorough examination. Guidance on the construction of trenches, pits and shafts is given in the British Standard Code of Practice CP 6031 1981 for Earthworks. ...
