1 Scope
This document specifies performance requirements for battery powered pumps used for
personal sampling of chemical and biological agents in workplace air. It also specifies
test methods in order to determine the performance characteristics of such pumps under
prescribed laboratory conditions.
This document is applicable to battery powered pumps having a nominal volumetric flow
rate above 10 ml ⋅ min −1 , as used with combinations of sampler and collection substrate for sampling of gases,
vapours, dusts, fumes, mists and fibres.
This document is primarily intended for flow-controlled pumps.
