This document presents the framework and general principles for maintenance and repair of all kinds of existing concrete structures — un-reinforced and reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and steel-concrete composite structures, or their structural members. In this document, deterioration is clearly distinguished from damage occurring in a short period and not developing over subsequent time, such as cracking and scaling due to earthquakes or impact loading, etc. Deterioration is mainly dealt with as a target for the maintenance activities. This document also provides the basic concept of repair carried out to restore structural performance of existing structures. This document does not cover those aspects of maintenance and repair that are related to serviceability and aesthetics without direct impact on durability and service life, e.g. cleaning of drains, removal of vegetation, refreshment of paint, etc. This document also does not cover repair of defects during execution of new structures.

This document specifies requirements for hoses and hose assemblies made of rubber and hose fittings made of metal, which are designed to convey saturated steam and hot water condensate.

This document specifies a test method for the determination of the wet tensile strength of tissue paper and tissue products after soaking with water, using a tensile-strength-testing apparatus operating with a constant rate of elongation. Currently, two types of tensile-strength-testing apparatus are commercially available, one where the test piece is positioned vertically and, for the other, horizontally. This document applies for both. For vertical tensile-strength-testing apparatus, a device that is held in the lower grip of the tensile-strength-testing apparatus, called a Finch Cup, is used to achieve the wetting. For horizontal tensile-strength-testing apparatus, the soaking device is placed between the two clamps. This document is not applicable to cases where impurities and contraries are determined.

This document specifies technical requirements for the interface of the basic machinery within the scope of EN 12999 equipped to allow the use of an assigned type of work platform as interchangeable equipment where the combination of the basic machinery and the work platform as interchangeable equipment is within the scope of EN 280 1.
The basic machinery covered by this document is designed to be installed on a road vehicle with load carrying capability. The combination of the basic machinery and the work platform as interchangeable equipment covered by this document belongs to Group B Type 1 class as in the scope of EN 280 1.
The basic machinery covered by this document allows two modes of operation:
-   the 'CRANE' mode of operation, for the use of the basic machinery as a loader crane within the scope of EN 12999;
-   the 'MEWP' mode of operation, for the use of the work platform with the basic machinery as within the scope of EN 280 1.
This document covers hazards related to switching between 'CRANE' and 'MEWP' mode as described above and covers the specific hazards related with the combination and the assembly of the work platform as interchangeable equipment with the basic machinery (see Annex A).
This document does not address hazards which may occur:
a)   when using work platform not assembled with the lifting machinery but simply lifted by the machinery (e.g. suspended from the hook of the crane);
b)   when using attachments not intended for the lifting of persons.

This document specifies a pyrolytic gas-chromatographic method for the determination of the styrene/butadiene/isoprene ratio in copolymers, or blends of homopolymers and/or copolymers, in raw rubbers or in unvulcanized or vulcanized compounds. It is applicable to copolymers/terpolymers consisting of styrene, butadiene and isoprene, and blends of these polymers. NOTE 1 The use of this document pre-supposes sufficient working knowledge of the principles and techniques of gas chromatography for the analyst to perform the operations described and interpret the results correctly. NOTE 2 The styrene/butadiene/isoprene ratio determined by this test method is affected by the presence of resin and by a high level of sulfur.
