The modular Evolution system lets you expand your panel with one or two Multi-function Flight Displays (MFDs) as your needs grow and your budget permits.

The Evolution flight displays are innovative, modular system components that slide into existing 3-inch instrument holes in any instrument panel. A universal bracket provides easy surface mounting. The system can optionally be flush mounted. This unique design dramatically reduces installation time and cost.

Methods 0010-0100 cover sampling methods for emissions from stationary sources such as hazardous and municipal waste incinerators. Targeted parameters for these methods include hazardous organic compounds (e.g., volatiles, semivolatiles, dioxins and dibenzofurans), metals, hydrogen chloride, chlorine, and hexavalent chromium. SW-846 also includes three methods which were referred from the Clean Air Act program.

The 1000 series includes methodologies for determining the ignitability, corrosivity, and toxicity characteristics [See Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 261 Subpart C for more information about how to determine if a waste or material is hazardous or non-hazardous]. This series also includes several leaching and extraction procedures, including the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and the Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP).

The 3000 series contains digestion and extraction procedures used for the preparation of samples for analysis of inorganic parameters. These techniques include acid digestion, alkaline digestion, and microwave assisted digestion.

The 3500 series contains extraction procedures used for the preparation of samples for analysis of organic parameters. These techniques include liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, Soxhlet extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction, among others.

The 4000 series introduces the immunoassay technique for the separation, detection and quantitation of both organic and inorganic analytes in diverse environmental and waste matrices. Immunoassay methods produce two types of quantitative results:

Commercially-available testing products present immunoassay protocols that are rapid, simple and portable and can be used effectively in both laboratory and field settings. Results are immediately available upon completion of the test, and can assist in the on-site management of personnel and equipment, as well as the data management activities of the laboratory.

The 5000 series includes several sample preparation methods (purge-and-trap, extraction, azeotropic distillation, vacuum distillation, dilution, headspace, etc.) that introduce volatile organic compounds into a detection device for various matrices (e.g., aqueous, soil/sediment, solid waste, organic solvents, air and oily waste).

The 6000 series contains analytical and guidance methods used to determine inorganic analytes by the following technologies: inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-optical emission (OES) and mass spectrometry (MS), x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), capillary ion electrophoresis (CE) and isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS).

The 7000 series contains analytical and guidance methods used to determine the presence of inorganic analytes (including arsenic, antimony, chromium, mercury, white phosphorus and selenium) by the following technologies: graphite furnace and flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAA and FLAA), anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV), cold-vapor technique, atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) and other techniques.

The 8000 series contains analytical and guidance methods used to determine organic compounds by technologies including but not limited to: gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and electron capture detection (ECD). Note that several of these methods are for screening only. SW-846 Chapter Four contains more information about the 8000 series methods.

The 9000 series contains analytical methods and guidance used to determine a variety of inorganic/organic parameters and physical properties/method-defined parameters in many different matrices. Described generally in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, this miscellaneous compilation includes methods that use the following technologies: titration, colorimetry, conductivity, potentiometry and ion chromatography. Note that several of these methods are for screening only.

The AFC-1000 is an expandable analog/addressable releasing fire alarm system with a total system capacity of 1270 addresses. Additional capacity on the system is achieved using multi-point SLC modules The control panel utilizes the exclusive Potter protocol that includes a complete line of sensors and modules. The system is expandable with a total of nine additional addressable Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) each with a maximum of 127 devices. Each SLC may be comprised of any combination of smoke sensor, heat detectors or modules and allows for a total of 50 ohms of impedance and may use any wire compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC).

The AFC-1000 has a 10 Amp power supply with six Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) and four Input/Output (I/O) circuits. The NACs are rated at 3 Amps each and the I/Os are rated at 1 Amp each. Each output is regulated and power limited. In addition, each output is uniquely programmable and may be configured for steady signal, strobe synchronization, constant power, door holder power, or releasing. The strobe synchronization includes Gentex, AMSECO, System Sensor and Cooper/Wheelock and with the exclusive Quadrasync each output may have a unique brand and all strobes will flash together. The I/Os are designed for inputs such as manual release stations and abort switches that will not require polling and react nearly instantaneously.

The NACs may be expanded using the PSN-1000 series intelligent power supplies. Each PSN-1000 adds another 10 Amps of power, 2 additional input circuits and the AFC-1000 will support up to 31 power supplies. The system will synchronize the strobes system wide. In addition, the PSN-1000E has space to allow the installation of up to six PAD100-SLCE SLC loop expansion cards. The cards mount on a stacker bracket that allows access to all SLC circuit connections.

The Secretary of the Department of Transportation receives the authority to regulate the transportation of hazardous materials from the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (HMTA), as amended and codified in 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq. The Secretary is authorized to issue regulations to implement the requirements of 49 U.S.C. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) (formerly the Research and Special Provisions Administration (RSPA)) was delegated the responsibility to write the hazardous materials regulations, which are contained in 49 CFR Parts 100-180. In order to accomplish his responsibilities under the HMTA the Secretary "...may authorize any officer, employee, or agent to enter upon inspect, and examine, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, the records and properties of persons to the extent such records and properties relate to: (1) the manufacture, fabrication, marking, maintenance, reconditioning, repair, testing, or distribution of packages or containers for use by any "person" in the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce; or (2) the transportation or shipment by any "person" of hazardous materials in "commerce."

The hazardous materials regulations have changed significantly over the last several years. These changes were first introduced in Docket HM-181 which provided for the harmonization of the United State's hazardous materials regulations with international standards in order to facilitate foreign trade and maintain the competitiveness of U.S. goods.

The applicability of the hazardous materials regulations was extended to all intrastate shipments of hazardous materials by highway effective October 1, 1998, as published in the final rule, Docket HM-200 dated January 8, 1997. This final rule also provided exceptions for "materials of trade", "agricultural operations" and certain non-specification packaging used in commerce.

Special agents of the Department of Transportation can not be denied reasonable access to those areas that fall within the official scope of their duties. The Secretary has delegated this authority to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Railway Administration (FRA), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), and the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

The Government Printing Office has made the Federal Register and 49 CFR available on the Internet. Clarifications of the requirements are contained in the Federal Hazardous Materials Regulations and the Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.

"No person may offer or accept a hazardous material for transportation in commerce unless that person is registered in conformance with subpart G of Part 107 of this chapter, if applicable, and the hazardous material is properly classed, described, packaged, marked, labeled, and in condition for shipment as required or authorized..."(49 CFR 171.2(a))
