The 2025 Proficiency Testing (PT) Scheme for PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ measurements, organized by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the AQUILA Network, assessed the performance of 22 European laboratories in measuring particulate matter (PM) concentrations, following the EU Ambient Air Quality Directive ...
The overarching goal of the Coordinated Activity on the Safety of Products (CASP) project is to protect the health and safety of European consumers by supporting national authorities from EU/EFTA countries responsible for market surveillance (MSAs) to better coordinate their activities. MSAs par...
The recast Drinking Water Directive (EU) 2020/2184 empowers the European Commission (EC) to adopt a methodology to measure microplastics in water intended for human consumption. When the directive entered into force in January 2021, no suitable standardised or harmonised methodologies were avail...
This report presents a series of numerical simulations, done by the EUROPLEXUS code [1], of experimental tests performed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) about blast effects on tubular concrete (plain or reinforced) structures. These structures provide a simplified re...
This report presents a series of numerical simulations of flexible beams subjected to blast-like loading in the SIMLab Shock Tube Facility (SSTF) of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim. The simulations are performed by the EUROPLEXUS computer code. Keywords: Fast...
