Le monde de l'assurance joue un rôle croissant dans les économies nationales, ce qui ne fait que renforcer l'importance de la solvabilité des compagnies d'assurance. Or, comment se tenir informé des règles et pratiques régissant le contrôle de la santé financière des compagnies...

This volume is the fourth of a series devoted to major policy issues in insurance. It comprises an in-depth analysis on the assessment and the management of the major technical and financial risks insurance companies have to face. It responds to the growing concerns of economic, financial,...

The insurance sector plays a growing role in national economies. This reinforces the importance of the solvency of insurance companies. Yet how can we stay informed about the rules and practices related to the supervision of the financial health of these insurance companies in OECD countries?...

This Test Guideline lists methods for determining the density of liquids and solids, giving only a very succinct description of them. The density of a substance is the quotient of its mass and its volume and is expressed in kg/m3. Several methods are for liquid substance only: hydrometer,...

This Test Guideline describes methods to measure the viscosity of liquids. The methods listed are appropriate in principle for the investigation of Newtonian liquids. The measurement of non-Newtonian liquids is only possible with the rotational viscometer. Viscosity measurements are carried out...
