136 national and interstate standards became effective since July 1st, 2021. There are documents on lifting cranes, standards on plastic materials and rules of identification of nutrient additives among them.
We will highlight several documents that came into force for the first time.
GOST R 59517-2021 «Unmanned aircraft systems. Classification and categorization» solves the problem of secure integration of driveless aircraft systems into common airspace with manned airborne crafts of civil aviation.
Unmanned aircraft systems are classified according to maximum take-off weight: from 0, 25 kg to 30 kg and more than 30 kg.
Unmanned aircraft systems can be divided into 3 categories A, B and C.
Unmanned aircraft systems with maximum velocity energy not more than 100 joules belong to an open category A. They can be deployed only for personal use. Maximum height of the flight for such aircraft systems are 150 meters.
Unmanned aircraft systems which belong to an open category B are applied for aviation operations in the approved operational volume of segregated air space.
Unmanned airctaft system can belong to the category C in case of the necessity of flight operations as part of unmanned aircraft systems in the declared non-segregated airspace class according to visual rules flight and instrument flight rules.
GOST R 59129-2020 «Non-ferrous metals. Terms and definitions» sets and systematizes main terms and definitions in the field of mining, manufacturing and management of non-ferrous metals including scrap of non-ferrous metals and waste materials.
All metals except for iron belong to non-ferrous metals according to the standard.
Non-ferrous metals can be divided into high-density metals (with density from 6000 to 14000 kg/ m3) and low-density metals (with density less than 5 000 kg/ m3). High-density non- ferrous metals are the following - copper, nickel, cobalt, lead, tin, chrome, manganese etc. Low-density non-ferrous metals are the following - potassium, natrium, magnesium, aluminium, calcium, strontium, barium, titanium.
Precious metals are non- ferrous metals of refractory quality which have strong depletion effect in aggressive environments according to the standard. Precious metals are metals with high forging property, ductility. They are the following ones - aurum, argentum, platinum etc.
Rare metals are non-ferrous metals which do not have their own ore deposits and which are occasionally spread in the crust of earth according to GOST R 59129-2020.
GOST R 59107- 2020 «Basic oils. Specifications» is applied for oils used as raw materials for market grade liquid lubricants.
Basic oils refer to the 4th class of hazard in terms of the degree of impact on human body. These basic oils are not dangerous products. Oils do not have capacity for cumulation and they cannot penetrate through unbroken skin. But long term and repeating contact of the oil with unprotected skin can lead to its irritation, dryness and appearance of skin diseases such as weeping dermatitis, scytitis.
