Building a sustainable future with ISO 21930
With urban populations worldwide swelling, there’s an urgent need to calculate the sustainable performance of the buildings that we live and work in. But the variety and complexity of methods available can seem overwhelming. This is where ISO 21930:2017 comes into play.
Sample standards
Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations — Expanded perlite products — Specification
Ductile iron pipes and fittings for pressure and non-pressure pipelines — Cement mortar lining
Building and civil engineering sealants — Determination of adhesion/cohesion properties of sealants after immersion in water
Building and civil engineering sealants — Determination of resistance to compression
Plastics piping systems — Elastomeric-sealing-ring-type socket joints for use with plastic pipes — Test method for leaktightness under negative pressure, angular deflection and deformation
