Ambient air - Diffusive samplers for the determination of concentrations of gases - Requirements and test methods cen:proj:76800

Scope

This European Standard specifies performance requirements, test methods and the use of diffusive samplers for the determination of the concentration of gases in ambient air. Such requirements apply to all diffusive samplers, irrespective of the physical nature of the rate controlling process and irrespective of the nature of the sorption process and the analytical determination.
This standard applies to all stages of the measuring procedure, including deployment, transportation and storage of the sample where appropriate. It includes measurement procedures with separate sampling and analysis stages.
This European Standard enables manufacturers and users of diffusive samplers to adopt a consistent approach to sampler validation and provide a framework for the assessment of sampler performance against criteria specified in this standard. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer or of those who assemble the diffusive samplers to ensure that the sampler complies with the data quality objectives given in this European Standard.
Annexes give further information on practical applications for particular environmental pollutants, including those specified by existing European Directives [X].
