European directives and harmonized documents on pressure equipment testing

Multilingual Ontological Analysis of European Directives

This paper describes the main features of our tool called “Legal Taxonomy Syllabus”. The system is an ontology based tool designed to annotate and recover multi-lingua legal information and build conceptual dictionaries on European Directives.

Equipment Specifications and Methods for Dynamic Testing

Both the new ASAE S518 standard (2) and the revised draft international standard DIS/ISO 5707 (3) incorporate performance standards for vacuum stability in milking systems. New NMC procedures for system evaluation include dynamic tests for vacuum stability to demonstrate the adequacy of new or existing milking systems (7) . Such dynamic (i.e. "milking-time") tests require the use of test instru...
