International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 826: Electrical installations (IEC 60050-826:2022, identical)
Scope: This part of IEC 60050 gives the general terminology used for electrical installations such as
those of residential, industrial or commercial premises. It does not cover systems for distribution
of energy to the public or power generation and transmission for such systems. This new edition
reviews and complements the previous one. An important aim of the revision is to achieve
compliance with IEC 61140:2016. In addition, some new terms have been added from
IEC 60364-8-1:2014 and IEC 60364-8-2:2018. It has the status of a horizontal publication in
accordance with IEC Guide 108, Guidelines for ensuring the coherence of IEC publications –
Horizontal functions, horizontal publications and their application.
This terminology is consistent with the terminology developed in the other specialized parts of
the IEV.
This horizontal publication is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the
preparation of IEC publications in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of
horizontal publications in the preparation of its publications.

Bitumen and bituminous binders - Terminology
Scope: This European Standard defines terms for paving or industrial bitumen of various types and binders derived from bitumen. This European Standard is intended to cover materials only within the scope of CEN/TC 336, i.e. only bitumens and bituminous binders. It should consequently not extend to non-petroleum "hydrocarbon" binders such as coal tar and its derivatives or to natural asphalts. However, some definitions are given for some excluded materials and related terms. The corresponding terms were introduced only when they appeared in a definition of a product or process and when their definition was found necessary for understanding or for avoiding any ambiguity. The materials covered by this European Standard are shown in Figure 1. NOTE Figure 1 also shows a clear distinction between materials inside and outside the scope of CEN/TC 336.

Paints and varnishes - Wettability - Part 6: Measurement of dynamic contact angle (ISO 19403-6:2017)
Scope: ISO 19403-6:2017 specifies a method to measure the dynamic contact angle with an optical method. The advancing and the receding angles are determined.
By means of this defined measurement, the wetting and dewetting properties can be characterized. It can also be concluded on the morphological and chemical homogeneity of interfaces.

Paints and varnishes - Wettability - Part 4: Determination of the polar and dispersive fractions of the surface tension of liquids from an interfacial tension (ISO 19403-4:2017)
Scope: The standard series ISO 19403 specifies optical test methods
— for the measurement of the contact angle,
— for the determination of the free surface energy of a solid surface including the polar and dispersive fractions,
— for the determination of the surface tension of liquids including the polar and dispersive fractions,
— for the checking of the measurement arrangement with reference materials.
It can be applied for the characterization of substrates, coatings, and coating materials.
Part 4 of the standard specifies a test method to determine the polar and dispersive fraction of the surface tension of liquids with optical methods. The method can be applied for the characterization of liquid coating materials, especially when drying effects occur during measurement.

Paints and varnishes - Wettability - Part 5: Determination of the polar and dispersive fractions of the surface tension of liquids from contact angles measurements on a solid with only a disperse contribution to its surface energy (ISO 19403-5:2017)
Scope: ISO 19403-5:2017 specifies a test method to determine the polar and dispersive fractions of the surface tension of liquids by optical methods. The method can be applied for the characterization of liquid coating materials.
The applicability can be restricted for liquids with non-Newtonian rheology[1].
ISO 19403-5:2017 assumes that the information of surface tension of the liquid to be tested and the surface free energy of the dispersive reference solids is known.
[1] This term is defined in DIN 1342-1.

Paints and varnishes - Wettability - Part 7: Measurement of the contact angle on a tilt stage (roll-off angle) (ISO 19403-7:2017)
Scope: ISO 19403-7:2017 specifies a method for the dynamic measurement of the roll-off angle of a liquid drop on a solid surface. From the dynamic measurement, the advancing and receding angles of the drop rolling off can also be determined. The roll-off angle plays a role when evaluating, for example, easy-to-clean or anti-adherent surfaces.

Information and documentation - Document storage requirements for archive and library materials
Scope: This document specifies the required characteristics of repositories used for the long-term storage of archive and library materials. It covers the siting, construction and renovation of the storage facility, and the installation and equipment to be used both within and around the building.
This document applies to all archive and library materials held in repositories, where mixed media can be stored together with paper-based materials. It does not preclude the establishment of separate areas or compartments within individual repositories, where the environment can be controlled to create conditions suitable for the needs of specific archive materials.
This document does not specify exhibition or display guidelines.
