Traduction de «Test before data entry » (Anglais → Français) :

The earliest set of test results under consideration here (tests of 1988 vehicles submitted with Ethyl's 1990 application) exhibit the most pronounced MMT-caused emissions increases of the data generated by the applicant (about 0.02 gm/mi), but these increases fall substantially short of failure on the determinative " cause or contribute" test (3 of 8 vehicle models tested fail for HC and 4 of 8 models fail for CO, while 7 of the 8 models tested are required to fail before ...[+++] the additive fails this overall test on either pollutant).

(Return tabled) Question No. 177 Mr. Peter Julian: With regard to nanotechnology: (a) what are the total federal funds spent and committed for expenditure, for each of the fiscal years from 2005-2006 through 2008-2009 inclusive, broken down by department and criterion; (b) who are the recipients of these funds; (c) to what purpose was funding for nanotechnology used by institutions and departments, including the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, Natural Resources Canada, Industry Canada, and the National Research Council of Canada; (d) what were the a ...[+++]mounts allocated to test health, safety, and environmental impacts of nanoproducts and nanomaterials; (e) what is the list of nanomaterials currently in the market; (f) which of these have been extensively tested to determine possible effects on human and environmental health and safety and, of those tested, which, if any, raised concern or required mitigation or prevention; (g) how many assessments on nanomaterial notification packages have been submitted to the New Substances Notification Program to date and (i) of these notification packages, have there been any nanomaterials rejected for entry into Canada, (ii) have there been any conditions of use placed based on assessment results and, if so, how many; (h) did the government ever request notifiers (companies or individuals) providing nanomaterial notification packages to submit additional toxicity data above and beyond what is requested in the schedules of the New Substances Notification Regulations and, if so, did this result in refusal of entry into the Canadian market or justify use of material with conditions; and (i) what information, notifications or advisories have been issued to ensure the safe discovery, production, manufacturing, use and disposal of nanomaterials and nano-enabled products, (i) when, (ii) by which departments?

In cases where surfactants are used in detergents which were placed on the market before the entry into force of the above standard, existing tests that were performed using the best scientific knowledge available, and that were performed to a standard comparable to those of the standards mentioned in Annex I may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

(32) The tests specified for the biodegradability of surfactants should be carried out in laboratories meeting an internationally recognised standard, namely EN/ISO/IEC/17025. It would not be justified to ask that this requirement apply to existing surfactants, as the available tests on them were performed before the entry into force of the above-mentioned standard and still provide a comparable level of scientific quality.

the scientific opinions expressed in favour of shortening the journey time did not take into account all conditions of transport throughout the European Community nor the specific situations of each country and were based on data mostly issued before the entry into force of the current legislation on animal transport.

the development of the Indicator should fully respect the responsibility of Member States for the organisation of their education systems and should not impose undue administrative or financial burdens on the organisation and institutions concerned; the method for data-gathering should take account of previous work in the field at international, Union and Member State level, and be devised and implemented in a cost-effective manner; the European Indicator of Language Competence shall be put in place as soon as possible, in accordance with the following terms of reference: data should be gathered on competences in first and second forei ...[+++]gn languages: via a common suite of tests administered to a representative sample of the target population in each Member State; from a representative sample of pupils in education and training at the end of ISCED level 2; where a second foreign language is not taught before the end of ISCED 2, Member States may, in the first round of data-gathering, choose to gather data for the second foreign language from pupils at the level of ISCED 3; for those languages for which there exists a suitable representative sample of learners in a given Member State; test scores should be based on the scales of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ; because respect for linguistic diversity is a core value of the European Union, the Indicator should be based upon data concerning the knowledge of all the official languages of the European Union taught as foreign languages in the Union; but for practical reasons it would be advisable, in the first round of data-gathering, for tests to be made available in those official languages of the European Union that are most widely taught in the Member States, to the extent that they provide a sufficiently large sample of testees ; Member States shall themselves determine which of those official languages are to be tested; the Indicator should assess competence in the four productive a ...
