This document specifies a volumetric method for the determination of silver on a material considered homogeneous. The silver content of the sample lies preferably between (100 and 999,0) parts per thousand (‰) by mass. Fineness above 999,0 ‰ can be determined using a spectroscopy method by difference (e.g. ISO 15096).
This method is intended to be used as the reference method for the determination of fineness in alloys covered by ISO 9202.

Meaningful measurements that lead to timely learning, corrective actions and improvements are key to support the management of innovation activities in an organization to ensure its survival and beneficial evolution (i.e. enhanced competitiveness for businesses and/or enhanced effectiveness and relevance for public-oriented organizations).
This proposed Tools and Methods standard is complementary to the ISO56002 Innovation Management System standard. It will provide guidance for the definition, implementation, evaluation and further improvement of the measurements necessary to manage effectively innovation operations in an organization.
Specifically, this standard will guide:
- The planning for the alignment of innovation measurements to the organization’s strategy, operational objectives and innovation management system;
- The selection of indicators to measure the progress of innovation activities and performance of the innovation portfolio.
- The design of ways to measure each indicator (via quantitative or qualitative metrics) in a clear and actionable way;
- The choice of frequency and expected performance targets for innovation measurements;
- The provision of necessary support to undertake innovation measurements efficiently and manage their evolution: funding, people, infrastructure, legal aspects, documentation and communications;
- The evaluation of measurement results, taking corrective action, learning and communicating;
- The review and update of the organization’s innovation measurements in terms of effectiveness in achieving intended innovation results and minimizing risks.
The guidelines to innovation measurements provided by this standard will be useful for all types of organizations (irrespective of sector and size) and all types of innovations (independent of time horizons).
This standard provides guidance at a general level. While it gives some examples of measurements in use, it does not prescribe any specific tools, methods for innovation measurements or metrics.

This document establishes the specifications relative to family C (gears) for lubricants, industrial oils and related products of class L (see ISO 6743-6). This document deals only with lubricants for enclosed gear systems. Lubricants for open gears and greases for gears (enclosed or open) are covered by the other parts of the ISO 12925 series (i.e. ISO 12925-2 and ISO 12925-3). This document is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 6743-6. The following categories specified in ISO 6743-6 are covered by this document: CKB, CKC, CKD, CKE, CKSMP, CKTG, CKES, CKPG, CKPR, CSPG, CSPR, CTPG and CTPR. Detailed information about the different types of gear, and lubricants, and their selection for gearbox design and service conditions can be found in ISO/TR 18792.

This document provides general considerations to support the design guidance to geotechnical and civil engineers involved in the design of structures in which a geotextile is used to fulfil the function of an asphalt interlayer. The key potential failure mechanisms and design aspects to be considered are described, and guidance is proposed to select engineering properties. The state of the art is however limited and does not commend any particular design method. This document can be used as a basis for further research on, for example, system selection, design, performance testing, creation of local guidelines.

This document establishes uniform requirements and test procedures for lowering control devices fitted on the boom, intermediate boom and arm cylinders of hydraulic excavators and backhoe loaders to control the rate of drop in the case of a hydraulic line failure or rupture. It is applicable to the lowering control devices of hydraulic excavators and the backhoe equipment of backhoe loaders used for object handling which are equipped with the standard linkage as defined by the manufacturer. On machines where alternative linkage combinations are offered, only the standard length defined by the manufacturer is subject to testing.

This document is part of the ISO 11890 series, dealing with the sampling and testing of coating materials and their raw materials. This document is applicable to the determination of volatile organic compound (VOC) content in the following cases: — case 1: where there are single-pack coating materials other than case 3, and the expected VOC content is greater than a mass fraction of 5 %, including single-pack coating materials cure not through chemical reactions and single-pack coating materials which cannot be measured by ISO 11890-2 due to chemical cure reactions or gas chromatography temperatures leading to formation of new compounds that would not appear under normal cure conditions and impacts VOC/SVOC calculation.; — case 2: where there are multi-pack coating materials other than case 3 and the expected VOC content is greater than a mass fraction of 1 %; — case 3: where there are radiation curable coating materials, and the expected VOC content is greater than a mass fraction of 5 %. Radiation curable coating materials in this document include coating materials that are cured by UV, electron beam, and other radiation methods. If the system of the first case contains SVOC, but do not cure through chemical reactions, the VOC result can be influenced by SVOC, see Annex C. In this case, ISO 11890-2 is preferred. ISO 11890-1 cannot be used for the determination of the SVOC content. In water-borne coating materials, that do not cure through chemical reactions, if the water content is much greater than VOC content and VOC content is less than a mass fraction of 10 %, ISO 11890-2 is preferred. For all three cases, the main purpose measured is VOC. However, clarify that this VOC content can also contain SVOC. The real VOC content can be lower than the VOC content measured by ISO 11890-1. The method specified in this document assumes that the volatile matter is either water or organic. However, it is possible that other volatile inorganic compounds are present which can require another suitable method for quantification, which is thus allowed for in the calculations. The method defined in this document is not applicable for determination of water content.
