- Scope
- This European Standard specifies methods for testing aerosol sampling instruments under prescribed laboratoryconditions, and performance requirements that are specific to aerosol sampling instruments.These performancerequirements, which include conformity withThe EN 481 sampling conventions, apply only toThe process ofsamplingThe airborne particles fromThe air, not toThe process of analysing particles collected byThe process ofsampling. Although analysis of samples collected inThe course of testing is usually necessary in order to evaluatethe sampler performance,The specified test methods ensure that analytical errors are kept very low during testingand do not contribute significantly toThe end result.The determination of analytical errors and factors related tothem (for exampleThe bias, precision and limit of detection of the analytical method) is outsideThe scope of thisstandard. WhereThe aerosol sampling instrument requiresThe use of an external (rather than integral) pump,Thepump is not subject toThe requirements of this standard.
