13、. The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non

14、-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part

15、2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a

18、or deposition, and etch processes.Total pressure, composition of the gas mixture, QMS settings, environment conditions, etc., have a significant influence on the measured signal, its uncertainty and interpretation. For this reason, it is not possible to calibrate QMS for all its possible application

19、s. Instead, it has either to be calibrated for the particular conditions of use or for a standardized condition.There is also some need for standardization in order to enable QMS users to compare devices of different manufacturers and to use the QMS properly.In continuation of efforts of TC 112 duri

20、ng the 1990s, this International Standard takes a first step towards establishment of a standardized calibration procedure for QMS by defining the terms and parameters.

21、ectrometers1 ScopeThis International Standard defines terms relevant to quadrupole mass spectrometers (QMSs) and specifies the parameters required for specification by QMS manufacturers necessary for proper calibration and for maintaining the quality of partial pressure measurement.This Internationa

22、l Standard applies to QMSs with an ion source of the electron impact ionization type. Such QMSs are designed for the measurement of atomic mass-to-charge ratios m/z typically 300. QMSs with other ion sources, such as those of the chemical ionization, photoionization, and field ionization types, as w

23、ell as the measurements of m/z above 300, which are mainly used to specify organic materials, lie outside the scope of this International Standard.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.2.1 Definitions of components2.1.1quadrupole mass spe
