22、edes EN 13205:2001. EN 13205, Workplace exposure Assessment of sampler performance for measurement of airborne particle concentrations, consists of the following parts: Part 1: General requirements; Part 2: Laboratory performance test based on determination of sampling efficiency; Part 3: Analysis o

23、f sampling efficiency data Technical Report; Part 4: Laboratory performance test based on comparison of concentrations; Part 5: Aerosol sampler performance test and sampler comparison carried out at workplaces (the present document); Part 6: Transport and handling tests. Significant technical change

24、s from the previous edition, EN 13205:2001: This part of EN 13205 is partly based on Annex C of the previous edition, EN 13205:2001. The scope has been limited to aerosol samplers, and the current version of the standard is not (directly) applicable to other types of aerosol instruments. As this is

25、now a standard in its own right, a clause on used symbols has been added. Almost all definitions are now given either in EN 1540, Workplace exposure Terminology or in Part 1 of this standard. The method of calculating the uncertainty of a sampler or a measuring procedure has been revised in order to

26、 comply with ENV 13005. The concept of “accuracy” is no longer used, instead the concept of “expanded uncertainty” is used. The main part of the standard states how to determine the performance of an aerosol sampler at a specific workplace. This is an adaption of the laboratory method given in Part

27、2. The standard gives a method on how to determine the dependence of the sampling efficiency on the collected mass or internally separated mass. The five major sources of uncertainty due to aspects of the sampling performance of an aerosol sampler (calibration of sampler test system, estimation of s

28、ampled concentration, bias relative to the sampling BS EN 13205-5:2014EN 13205-5:2014 (E) 5 convention, individual sampler variability and excursion from nominal flow rate) are described with formulae on how to incorporate these uncertainties into the expanded uncertainty of a sampler. According to

29、the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,

BS EN 13205-5:2014EN 13205-5:2014 (E) 6 Introduction EN 481 defines sampling conventions for the par

31、ticle size fractions to be collected from workplace atmospheres in order to assess their impact on human health. Conventions are defined for the inhalable, thoracic and respirable aerosol fractions. These conventions represent target specifications for aerosol samplers, giving the ideal sampling eff

32、iciency as a function of particle aerodynamic diameter. In general, the sampling efficiency of real aerosol samplers will deviate from the target specification, and the aerosol mass collected will therefore differ from that which an ideal sampler would collect. In addition, the behaviour of real sam

33、plers is influenced by many factors such as external wind speed. In many cases there is an interaction between the influence factors and fraction of the airborne particle size distribution of the environment in which the sampler is used. The workplace performance test for samplers for the inhalable,

34、 thoracic or respirable aerosol fractions described in this document is based on a comparison of concentrations sampled from a specific workplace (under otherwise identical conditions) by a candidate sampler and a (previously) validated sampler. Additionally, a method is described for determining a

35、correction factor for recalculation of the concentration determined with one sampler into that of the other at specific workplaces. This method is intended for the user, rather than the manufacturer, of aerosol samplers. EN 13205 (all parts) enables manufacturers and users of aerosol samplers to ado

36、pt a consistent approach to sampler validation, and provide a framework for the assessment of sampler performance with respect to EN 481 and EN 482. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of aerosol samplers to inform the user of the sampler performance under the laboratory conditions1)specifi

37、ed in EN 13205-1. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the actual conditions of intended use are within what the manufacturer specifies as acceptable conditions according to the performance test. 1) The inhalable convention is undefined for particle sizes in excess of 100 m or for win

38、d speeds greater than 4 m/s. The tests required to assess performance are therefore limited to these conditions. Should such large particle sizes or wind speeds actually exist at the time of sampling, it is possible that different samplers meeting this part of EN 13205 give different results. BS EN

39、13205-5:2014EN 13205-5:2014 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for determining the performance of an aerosol sampler under prescribed workplace conditions in order to test whether the performance of a candidate sampler fulfils the requirements of EN 13205-1. This part of EN 1320

40、5 specifies also a simple method to determine how, for a specific workplace aerosol, the concentration measured by the candidate sampler can be recalculated into that of a validated sampler. This part of EN 13205 is applicable to all samplers used for the health-related sampling of particles in work

41、place air. Different test procedures and types of evaluation are included to enable application of this part of EN 13205 to a wide variety of instruments. The methods specified in this part of EN 13205 are not applicable to tests where the performance of personal samplers is related to static sample
