20、xposure to chemical and biological agents”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2014 and conflicting national standards shall be withd

21、rawn at the latest by December 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document together with EN 13205-1, EN 13205-

22、2, CEN/TR 13205-3, EN 13205-5 and EN 13205-6 supersedes 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 deter

23、mination of sampling efficiency; Part 3: Analysis of sampling efficiency data Technical Report; Part 4: Laboratory performance test based on comparison of concentrations (the present document); Part 5: Aerosol sampler performance test and sampler comparison carried out at workplaces; Part 6: Transpo

24、rt and handling tests. Significant technical changes from the previous edition, EN 13205:2001: This part of EN 13205 is based on Annex B 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 oth

25、er types of aerosol instruments. As this is now a standard in its own right, a clause on the used symbols has been added. All definitions are now given either in EN 1540, Workplace exposure Terminology or in Part 1 or Part 2 of this standard. The method of calculating the uncertainty of a sampler or

26、 a measuring procedure has been revised in order to comply with ENV 13005. The concept of “accuracy” is no longer used, instead the concept of “expanded uncertainty” is used. The five major sources of uncertainty due to aspects of the sampling performance of an aerosol sampler (calibration of sample

27、r test system, estimation of sampled concentration, bias relative to the sampling convention, individual sampler variability and excursion from nominal flow rate) are described with equations on how to incorporate these uncertainties into the expanded uncertainty of a sampler. According to the CEN-C

28、ENELEC 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, Hungary,

BS EN 13205-4:2014EN 13205-4:2014 (E) 5 Introduction EN 481 defines sampling conventions for the particle siz

30、e 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 efficiency a

31、s 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 samplers is

32、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 laboratory performance test for samplers for the inhalable, thoraci

33、c or respirable aerosol fractions described in this document is based on a comparison of concentrations sampled from three laboratory test atmospheres by a candidate sampler and a (previously) validated sampler. EN 13205 (all parts) enables manufacturers and users of aerosol samplers to adopt a cons

34、istent 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)specified in thi

35、s part of EN 13205. 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 w

36、ind 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 E
