Identical adoption of ISO 1765:1986, this standard specifies a basic method for the determination of the thickness of machine-made textile floor coverings. Where areas of different thickness or construction exist, these should be tested separately if possible.

Specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of chromium content between 0.002 percent and 2.0 percent in non-alloy and low alloy steel. The procedure involves dissolution of a test portion in acid and determination of the atomic absorption of the chromium spectral line, measured at either 357.9 nm or 425.4 nm in a flame atomic absorption spectrometer. This Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 10138:1991.

This Standard sets out the method for determining the ability of a smoke/heat release vent to operate and remain free from visible damage when exposed to wind of specific velocity.

Specifies minimum requirements for hydraulic cements including general purpose cement, general purpose limestone, and blended cement. Requirements include both the composition as well as the properties and performance of the cement. A sampling and testing regime is specified for product conformity claims.

This Standard is technically equivalent to and has been reproduced from ISO 10545-7:1996.

Sets out methods for the sampling, preparation of sample and analysis of aluminosilicate refractories and refractory materials.

Adopts ISO 19117:2012, which specifies grades of spheroidal graphite cast irons by mechanical properties.

The objective of this Standard is to provide designers and manufacturers with requirements for dogspikes for use with steel rails.

This Standard covers the signs used for regulating, warning and guiding road users. It specifies the sign classifications and the numbering system used and sets out the basic design of signs in terms of colour and shape coding. It provides an illustrated index of all signs and sign types which have a standard sign number, and includes sign sizes and reference to other Standards in this series, which cover usage of each sign.
