"Clothing for protection against heat and flame -- Determination of heat transmission on exposure to both flame and radiant heat"
ISO 17492:2003 specifies a test method for measuring the heat transfer of horizontally mounted flame-resistant textile materials when exposed to a combination of convective and radiant energy. This test method can be used for any type of sheet material used either as a single layer or in a multilayer construction when all structures or sub-assemblies are made of flame-resistant materials. It is not intended to be used on materials that are not flame resistant. This test method is not intended for evaluating materials exposed to any other type of thermal-energy sources, such as radiant heat only or flame contact only. Use ISO 6942 when evaluating heat-transfer through materials due to radiant heat only and use ISO 9151 when evaluating heat-transfer through materials due to flame contact only. ISO 17492:2003 should be used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products or assemblies in response to both convective and radiant energy under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, the results of this test method may be used as elements of a fire-risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use.DescriptionISO 17492:2003 specifies a test method for measuring the heat transfer of horizontally mounted flame-resistant textile materials when exposed to a combination of convective and radiant energy.

"Eye and face protection — Protection against laser radiation — Part 1: Requirements and test methods"
This document was developed in response to the worldwide stakeholders' demand for minimum requirements and test methods for laser eye and face protectors traded internationally.Preparation of this document aimed to draw upon the best aspects of these preceding standards, and offer improvements where appropriate. The document was developed by a Joint Working Group involving experts from ISO/TC 94/SC 6 (Eye and Face Protection) and IEC/TC 76 (Optical Radiation Safety and Laser Equipment), to bring together the two aspects of personal protection and laser safety.In the general context of eye and face protection ISO 4007 gives the terms and definitions. The test methods are given in the ISO 18526 series, while the requirements for occupational eye and face protectors are given in the ISO 16321 series. Eye protectors for specific sports are mostly dealt with by the ISO 18527 series. ISO 19734 is a guidance document for the selection, use and maintenance of eye and face protectors.A guidance document addressing selection and use of personal eye and face protection against lasers is currently under development and will form a guide to users of protectors described in this document.DescriptionPreparation of this document aimed to draw upon the best aspects of these preceding standards, and offer improvements where appropriate.

"Acoustics -- Estimation of noise-induced hearing loss"
ISO 1999:2013 specifies a method for calculating the expected noise-induced permanent threshold shift in the hearing threshold levels of adult populations due to various levels and durations of noise exposure; it provides the basis for calculating hearing disability according to various formulae when the hearing threshold levels at commonly measured audiometric frequencies, or combinations of such frequencies, exceed a certain value. The measure of exposure to noise for a population at risk is the noise exposure level normalized to a nominal 8 h working day, LEX,8h, for a given number of years of exposure. ISO 1999:2013 applies to noise at frequencies less than approximately 10 kHz which is steady, intermittent, fluctuating, irregular. Use of ISO 1999:2013 for sound pressures exceeding 200 Pa (140 dB relative to 20 µPa) is recognized as extrapolation.DescriptionISO 1999:2013 specifies a method for calculating the expected noise-induced permanent threshold shift in the hearing threshold levels of adult populations due to various levels and durations of noise exposure; it provides the basis for calculating hearing disability according to various formulae when the hearing threshold levels at commonly measured audiometric frequencies, or combinations of such frequencies, exceed a certain value.
