European and International standards

EN 71-2 addresses toy flammability. The published consolidated reference EN 71-2:2020+A1:2025 combines the 2020 standard with its 2025 amendment. Confirm the exact document before comparing test reports or ordering a copy. What does EN 71-2 cover? The standard identifies prohibited categories of flammable materials and sets requirements for specified toys exposed to a small ignition source. Particular categories include certain head-worn toys, disguise costumes, toys children can enter and soft-filled toys. These tests address defined conditions. Their results do not establish how a toy will behave under every other source of ignition. Additional flammability requirements for electric toys are addressed separately in EN IEC 62115. Check publication and regulatory status separately The EVS catalogue record for EN 71-2:2020+A1:2025 provides the scope, document history and available formats. Before relying on a harmonised reference for EU compliance, check the relevant official citat...

EN IEC 62232:2025 concerns assessment of human exposure to radiofrequency fields near base stations. It provides methods for evaluating field strength, power density and specific absorption rate, commonly abbreviated SAR. What assessment tasks does it address? The scope includes product assessment, assessment before an installation enters operation and measurements around an operating installation. It covers intentionally radiating base stations within its specified frequency range and considers contributions from other relevant sources. The methods include measurement and calculation approaches, with provisions relevant to systems using beam steering. The appropriate approach depends on the assessment purpose and installation conditions; this overview is not a measurement procedure. Verify the edition and applicable requirements The EVS catalogue record for EN IEC 62232:2025 identifies the European adoption. The IEC 62232:2025 publisher record describes the international edition a...

ISO 10333 is a series of standards for personal fall-arrest systems and their components. Choosing the relevant document starts with identifying the equipment and assessment task. A reference to the series alone does not show which requirements or tests were applied. Which part of ISO 10333 do you need? ISO 10333-1: full-body harnesses addresses requirements, testing and product information for harnesses within its stated scope. It is one part of the series, not a complete specification for every type of fall-protection equipment. ISO 10333-6: system performance tests addresses specified combinations of components and subsystems. Evidence about an individual component is different from evidence about how a complete combination performs. Before selecting a document or standards package Identify the component or system being assessed and its intended use. Check the exact part, edition, amendments and current catalogue status. Review the scope, exclusions and referenced documents....

ICT accessibility standards help teams specify and test whether people with disabilities can use websites, software, hardware and related services. Start with the product and the users' tasks, then identify the requirements that apply. What the package contains The Genorma ICT accessibility collection lists a 2021 publication of EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1. It is a retailer's document collection, not a separate certification scheme. EN 301 549 and WCAG have different scopes WCAG concerns web content. EN 301 549 covers a broader range of ICT and includes requirements beyond WCAG. The European Commission's Web Accessibility Directive guidance explains the role of the cited edition and Annex A. Meeting WCAG alone does not establish conformity with every applicable requirement of EN 301 549. A practical assessment plan List the websites, applications, documents, devices and support channels in scope. Record the applicable law or procurement specification and exact standard editio...

Human Resources Management 2 is a Genorma collection covering human governance, organizational knowledge, competence development and sustainable employability. It is not an advanced certification level following Package 1. What the current listing covers The retailer's package page lists ISO 30408 for human governance; ISO 30401 and listed amendments for knowledge management; ISO 10015 for competence and people development; ISO/TS 24179 for occupational health and safety measures; and ISO/TR 30406 for sustainable employability. These are different types of documents. A management-system requirements standard, a guidance document and a technical report do not have identical purposes. Workforce planning and recruitment metrics should not be assumed to be included merely because this is an HR collection. Turn a document into an improvement project Knowledge continuity: identify essential knowledge that would be difficult to replace when a colleague changes role. Competence developme...

Genorma's Human Resources Management 1 collection focuses on recruitment, workforce planning and measures of hiring and retention. The number 1 identifies this retailer's collection; it does not designate an ISO maturity level or certification tier. Match the listed documents to the task The package inventory lists ISO 30400 vocabulary, ISO 30405 recruitment guidance and ISO 30409 workforce planning. It also lists ISO/TS 30407 for hiring costs, ISO/TS 30410 for impact of hire, ISO/TS 30411 for quality of hire, and ISO/TS 30421 for turnover and retention measures, through the specified BDS or SD publications. Use the measures consistently Before comparing teams or reporting a trend, write down the population, reporting period, data sources and calculation rules. For example, a hiring-cost comparison is difficult to interpret if one team includes agency fees and another omits them. Choose one business question, such as where recruitment delays occur. Identify the relevant docume...
