Overview

different conditions of use. They are divided into the types A, B, C and D. It should be noted that inflammable charges can be generated not only during filling, but also during emptying. Type A does not meet any electrostatic requirements. Type B consists of insulating material whose breakdown voltage is so low that no propagating brush discharges can occur. It may be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion due to dust, but not in areas where there is a risk of explosion due to gases or vapours. Type C has a conductive or dissipative structure and can be used in all potentially explosive atmospheres provided that it is earthed during filling and emptying. Type D is made of insulating material, has no earthing devices and limits charges to a safe level according to the corona discharge principle. However, there are limitations with regard to the minimum ignition energy and the charge current strength, as well as the requirement for earthing of conductive parts in its environment. To evaluate the electrostatic properties of FIBC, the IEC 61340-4-4 standard test procedure was developed and first published in 2005. It was replaced in 2012 by the revised second edition, which was mainly revised in the following points: Introduction of a mandatory classification for FIBC into the four types A, B, C and D and addition of guidance on the safe use of FIBC in relation to hazardous areas and zones as defined in IEC 60079-10-1 and IEC 60079-1.0-2. Measurements of resistance to earth point and breakdown voltage should only be performed at low humidity. The FIBC marking requirements have been changed to make them clearer and thus easier for the end user to understand. Classifications, performance requirements and instructions for internal liners in conjunction with FIBC complete the instructions for safe use. An added informative Annex now provides guidance on test procedures, quality control and monitoring. As proposed in this standard Amendment 1 to the last complete revision, which was not published until 2012, is mainly intended to clarify the text at selected points and to make the standard easier to understand. The responsible committee is DKE/K 185 "Elektrostatik" ("Electrostatics") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE. DIN EN ISO 15118-1 Vehicles with electric partial or complete drives are being developed in order to reduce the energy consumption of vehicles. A special charging infrastructure is required to charge the batteries of these vehicles. While various aspects of the standardization of electric vehicles and infrastructure have already been dealt with in ISO and IEC, this series of standards deals with the exchange of information between electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. Communication is indispensable for the effective charging of vehicles and for the development of efficient and convenient billing systems. DIN EN ISO 11137-2 By decision of the CEN Technical Bureau (Resolution CEN/BT C52/2015), Annexes ZA, ZB and ZC and the European Preface have been updated and published in June 2015 as a new edition EN ISO 11137-2:2015. With this new edition of DIN EN ISO 11137-2, the foreword newly published by CEN, including Annexes Z, has been incorporated into the existing standard. The standard contains ISO 11137-1:2013 unchanged. The standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 198 "Sterilization of health care products" (secretariat: ANSI, USA), in collaboration with CEN/TC 204 "Sterilization of medical devices" (secretariat: BSI, Great Britain). On the national level, DIN Working Committee NA 063-01-07 AA "Sterilisation von Medizinprodukten" ("Sterilization of medical devices") at NAMed is responsible. DIN EN ISO 11137-1 By decision of the CEN Technical Bureau (Resolution CEN/BT C52/2015), Annexes ZA, ZB and ZC and the European Preface have been updated and published in June 2015 as a new edition EN ISO 11137-1:2015. With this new edition of DIN EN ISO 11137-1, the foreword newly published by CEN, including Annexes Z, has been incorporated into the existing standard. The standard contains ISO 11137-1:2006 unchanged including amendment 1:2013. The standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 198 "Sterilization of health care products" (secretariat: ANSI, USA), in collaboration with CEN/TC 204 "Sterilization of medical devices" (secretariat: BSI, Great Britain). On the national level, DIN Working Committee NA 063-01-07 AA "Sterilisation von Medizinprodukten" ("Sterilization of medical devices") at NAMed is responsible. DIN EN 50615 (VDE 0700-615) This European standard deals with the safety of devices used for prevention, detection and suppression of fire originated from a cooking process or from material left on the hob. Up to now there has been no concrete safety standard to be applied for this type of device. The general DIN EN 60335-1 as well as DIN EN 60335-2-6 "Cooking ranges" and DIN EN 60335-2-31 "Range hoods" have been used in part until now. These devices are prescribed in Norway. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 511.2 "Herde und Mikrowellengeräte" ("Cooking ranges and microwave ovens") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
