Handling, processing and distribution of fish — Code of practice — Part 1: Aquaculture production.

This Draft Rwanda Standard provides guidelines and recommendations for growing, harvesting, handling and production of fresh fish intended for human consumption.

Pewter handcraft products — Specification.

This Draft Rwanda Standard specifies requirements, sampling and test methods for peter and pewterware and solders to be used for the joining.

Mortar for masonry — Specification.

This Draft Rwanda Standard specifies requirements for masonry mortars for bedding, jointing and pointing in masonry walls, columns and partitions (facing and rendered masonry, load bearing or non-load bearing masonry structures for building and civil engineering) .

This standard specifies requirements for rendering and plastering mortar used on walls, ceilings, columns and partitions.

It defines the performance related to workable life for fresh mortars. For hardened mortars it defines performances related to compressive strength, bond strength and density and provides the evaluation of conformity of the product based on tests.

It applies to mortars mixed in a plant or on site.

Geotechnical Design — General requirements.

This Draft Rwanda Standards is covers the requirements for strength, stability, serviceability and durability of structures. Other requirements, e.g. concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not considered. WD 113 is intended to be applied to the geotechnical aspects of the design of buildings and civil engineering works which includes basis of geotechnical design, geotechnical data, ground improvement and reinforcement, foundations, retaining structures, hydraulic failure and overall stability

Structural design — Part 1: Actions on structures - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings.

1.1 This Draft Rwanda standard gives the design guidance, methods for the assessment of the characteristic values of self-weight of construction works and actions for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works including some geotechnical aspects for the following subjects:
a) densities of construction materials and stored materials;
b) self-weight of construction works; and
c) imposed loads for buildings.

1.2 It gives characteristic values of imposed loads for floors and roofs according to category of use in the following areas in buildings:
a) residential, social, commercial and administration areas;
b) garage and vehicle traffic areas;
c) areas for storage and industrial activities;
d) roofs; and
e) helicopter landing areas

Structural design — Part 3: Actions on structures - Thermal actions on building.

1.1 This Draft Rwanda standard gives principles and rules for calculating thermal actions on buildings, and their structural elements.

1.2 This Part describes the changes in the temperature of structural elements. Characteristic values of thermal actions are presented for use in the design of structures which are exposed to daily and seasonal climatic changes.

1.3 This standard will be applied in accordance with Rwanda Building Control Regulations, specifically clauses regarding heating systems and comfort levels in buildings.

Carbolic toilet soap — Specification.

This Draft Rwanda Standard specifies the requirements, sampling and test methods for hard toilet soap containing additions of phenolic substances such as cresylic acid.

Fresh beans — Specification.

This Draft Rwanda Standards specifies the requirements and sampling methods for beans of the varieties (cultivars) grown from Phaseolus vulgrais L. and Phaseolus coccineus L. to be supplied fresh to the consumer.

Watermelon — Specification.

This Draft Rwanda Standard specifies the requirements and sampling methods for watermelons of varieties (cultivars) grown from Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum, and Nakai to be supplied fresh to the consumer.

Code of hygienic practice for dried fruits

This standard applies to all fruits that have been dried by natural or artificial means or a combination of both. The fruit is dried to the extent that the greater part of the moisture has been removed and in addition the fruit may be subjected to a safe and appropriate treatment in preparation and packing, to permit marketing in normal trade channels. Fruits other than vine fruits prior to drying, if desired, and applicable for the particular fruit, may be cored, or pitted, sliced, diced, quartered, halved, or otherwise subdivided. This standard does not apply to fruits commonly known as "dehydrated fruits" with a moisture content not exceeding 5%.
