14、bodies). 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
15、and non-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.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
16、described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is dra

20、 of the following parts, under the general title Workplace air Analysis of respirable crystalline silica by X-ray diffraction: Part 1: Direct-on-filter method Part 2: Method by indirect analysis ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS ISO 16258-1:2015ISO 16258-1:2015(E)IntroductionRespirable crystalline si
21、lica (RCS) is a hazard to the health of workers in many industries through exposure by inhalation. Industrial hygienists and other public health professionals need to determine the effectiveness of measures taken to control workers exposure. The collection of samples of air during a work activity an
22、d then measuring the amount of respirable crystalline silica are often done to assess an individuals exposure, the effectiveness of controls or their respiratory protection. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of crystalline silica in a sample of respirable dust collected on a filter is the principle t
23、echnique employed in many countries to measure and estimate exposure to RCS. X-ray diffraction is able to clearly distinguish the polymorphs of crystalline silica.This part of ISO 16258 specifies the procedure for a method of analysing RCS directly on the air sample filter. A specific requirement of
24、 this method is that the filter from the sampling apparatus has a diameter of 25 mm. The method also discusses optimum instrumental parameters, for various types of detectors in common use at the time of publication. This part of ISO 16258 is to be used in conjunction with ISO 24095 which promotes b
25、est practice for these analyses.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 16258-1:2015Workplace air Analysis of respirable crystalline silica by X-ray diffraction Part 1: Direct-on-filter method1 ScopeThis part of ISO 16258 specifies the analysis of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) in samples of air
26、collected on 25 mm-filters by X-ray diffraction, when using an analytical approach where the dust on the air sample filter is directly analysed by the instrument. This part of ISO 16258 includes information on the instrumental parameters, sensitivity of different sampling apparatus, uses of differen
27、t filters and correction for absorption effects. In this part of ISO 16258, the expression RCS includes the most common polymorphs quartz and cristobalite. The less common polymorphs of crystalline silica, such as tridymite, are not included within the scope of this part of ISO 16258 because a stand
28、ard reference material is not available. Under certain circumstances (i.e. low filter dust loads, low silica content), the analytical approach described in this method may not fulfil the expanded uncertainty requirements of EN 482.5Guidance for calculation of uncertainty for measurements of RCS is g

Readers should note that there is some doubt about the relationship between signal and the mass when RCS is measured at very low masses and a specific formula to determine the LOD using statistics bas

The test samples used for calibration are not matrix matched and reporting an LOD based on three standard deviations of the background noise may give an optimistic impression of the capability of method when analysing real samples.
