1.1 Inclusions
1.1.1 This document provides requirements for the development, validation and routine monitoring and control of a low temperature sterilization process for medical devices using vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) as the sterilizing agent.
1.1.2 This document is intended to be applied by process developers, manufacturers of sterilization equipment, manufacturers of medical devices to be sterilized, organizations performing process validation of VH2O2 sterilization, and organizations responsible for sterilizing medical devices.
NOTE VH2O2 sterilizers can be used in both health care and industrial facilities, and this document acknowledges the similarities and differences between the two applications.
1.2 Exclusions
1.2.1 Processes that use other sterilizing agents, or hydrogen peroxide solution in combination with other chemicals as the sterilizing agent are not addressed in this document.
NOTE See ISO 14937 for guidance on validation of such processes.
1.2.2 This document does not specify requirements for development, validation and routine control of a process for inactivating the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies, e.g. scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Specific recommendations have been produced in particular countries for the processing of materials potentially contaminated with these agents.
NOTE Some VH2O2 sterilizers have processes that demonstrate some level of inactivation of the causative agents of spongiform encephalopathies, e.g. scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. However, this inactivation is process, cycle, and test protocol specific, therefore this inactivation is outside the scope of this document, and no specific test methods are provided (see [14], [26], and [30] for more information).
1.2.3 This document does not specify requirements for designating a medical device as sterile.
NOTE See for example EN 556–1 or ANSI/AAMI ST67.
1.2.4 This document does not specify requirements for occupational safety associated with the design and operation of VH2O2 sterilization equipment.
NOTE For further information on safety, see examples in the Bibliography. National or regional regulations can also exist.
1.2.5 This document does not apply to the contents of contained product, i.e. product for which the environment within the sterilizer chamber during any stage of the sterilization process does not come into direct contact with the product, such as a solution in a sealed bottle.
1.2.6 This document does not cover hydrogen peroxide decontamination systems for use in rooms, enclosures or environmental spaces.
NOTE These decontamination systems operate at ambient conditions (e.g. temperature and pressure) and in general utilise an approach that is different to that of VH2O2 sterilization processes addressed in this document.

This part of ISO 105 specifies a method intended for determining the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds, except loose fibres, to the action of weather as determined by exposure to simulated weathering conditions in a cabinet equipped with a xenon arc lamp. ISO 105-B04 focuses on textiles (such as apparel) where the main evaluation criteria is the colour fastness.
This method can be used to determine if a textile is wet light-sensitive.
NOTE 1 General information on colour fastness to light is given in Annex A.
NOTE 2 Textiles or technical textiles, which are permanently exposed to an outdoor environment and/or require mechanical testing (such as tensile strength determination) may be tested according to ISO 105-B10.

This document specifies requirements for rebreather diver training programmes which provide the competencies required to perform dives to 100 m with a rebreather requiring mandatory decompression stops using a breathing mixture containing helium. This document specifies evaluation criteria for these competencies.

This document specifies a set of principles and rules that algae producers, algae products industries, laboratories or other entities that collect algae and algae products samples can follow for the definition of their own sampling programs and sampling protocols.
In the context of this document, algae are a functional group that include microalgae, macroalgae, cyanobacteria and Labyrinthulomycetes.
As algae and their production processes are so diverse, this document does not define a specific sampling program and/or a specific sampling protocol. Instead, this document specifies the aspects that can be considered when defining one’s own sampling program and protocol.
This document describes when, where and how to draw a representative sample. For guidance on sample preparation of dry and wet samples of micro- and macroalgae, and algae products, please refer to
EN 17605.
This document is intended to be used for the collection of samples for lot characterization for commercial or legal/regulatory purposes. However, this document can also be used for any type of sampling of algae, including samples for quality control during production.

IEC 60034-2-3:2024 specifies test methods and an interpolation procedure for determining losses and efficiencies of converter-fed motors. The motor is then part of a variable frequency power drive system (PDS) as defined in IEC 61800‑9‑2. This document also specifies procedures to determine motor losses at any load point (torque, speed) within the constant flux range (constant torque range, base speed range), the field weakening range and the overload range based on determination of losses at seven standardized load points. This procedure is applicable to any variable speed AC motor (induction and synchronous) rated according to IEC 60034-1 for operation on a variable frequency and variable voltage power supply. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60034-2-3 published in 2020. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Harmonization of requirements and procedures with IEC 60034-2-1. - Extension of the interpolation procedure to the field weakening range.
