DIN EN 482:2015-12 EN 482:2012+A1:2015 (E) 5 Introduction National laws and regulations ba

29、sed on European Directives require the assessment of the potential exposure of a worker to chemical agents in workplace atmospheres. One way of assessing such exposure is to measure the concentration of a chemical agent in the air in the workers breathing zone. The procedures used for such measureme

30、nts should give reliable and valid results, so that when compared with set occupational exposure limit values, a correct decision can be made, for instance, as to whether the exposure level is acceptable or control measures need to be applied. !Because of their importance in the process of exposure

31、assessment, it is required that the measuring procedures fulfil some general requirements which are given in this document. Specific European Standards have been prepared for different types of measuring procedures and measuring devices. These include European Standards for airborne particle sampler

32、s (EN 13205-1), diffusive samplers (EN 838), pumped samplers (EN 1076), detector tubes (EN ISO 17621), sampling pumps (EN ISO 13137), metals and metalloids (EN 13890), mixtures of airborne particles and vapour (EN 13936) and direct reading instruments (EN 45544 (all parts). In these specific Europea

33、n Standards, additional requirements have been included for the procedure or device in question, so that the general requirements of this document are not compromised. Where no specific European Standard exists, only the general requirements apply.“ Performance requirements are given in this documen

34、t for unambiguity, selectivity, averaging time, measuring range and expanded uncertainty for minimum specified measuring ranges. These requirements are intended to apply under environmental conditions present at the workplace. However, because a wide range of environmental conditions are encountered

35、 in practice, this document specifies requirements that have to be fulfilled by measuring procedures when tested under prescribed laboratory conditions. It is the users responsibility to choose the appropriate procedures or devices that meet the requirements of this document. One way of doing this i

36、s to obtain information or confirmation from the provider of a procedure or the manufacturer of a device. Type-testing or, more generally, assessment of the performance of procedures or devices, can be undertaken by the manufacturer, user, test house or research and development laboratory, as is mos

37、t appropriate. A number of existing procedures for workplace measurements have either been tested over a part of the required minimum measuring range, but not over the entire range, or have not been tested for all environmental influences and potential interferences. If these partially validated pro

38、cedures meet the performance requirements of this European Standard, they can be used at present. Nevertheless these procedures should be tested over the full ranges as soon as is reasonably practicable. If there is no measuring procedure for a chemical agent which meets the requirements of this doc

39、ument, a procedure should be used whose performance is closest to the specified requirements. DIN EN 482:2015-12 EN 482:2012+A1:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope !This European Standard specifies general requirements for the performance of procedures for the determination of the concentration of chemical agents in

40、 workplace atmospheres as required by the Chemical Agents Directive 98/24/EC (see reference 9). The requirements given apply to all measuring procedures, irrespective of the physical form of the chemical agent (gas, vapour, airborne particles), the sampling method and the analytical method used.“ Th

41、is European Standard is applicable to all steps of a measuring procedure, measuring procedures with separate sampling and analysis steps, and direct-reading devices. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable

These classifications a

48、re based upon the measurement strategy laid down in EN 689. 4.2 Screening measurements of time weighted average concentration Screening measurements of time weighted average concentration are performed to obtain relatively crude quantitative information on exposure levels. Such information is used t

49、o identify potential health hazards, and to estimate the risk to health based on the likely severity of harm and the probability of its occurrence. These measurements can also determine if the exposure is significantly below or significantly above the (occupational exposure) limit value. 4.3 Screening measurements of variation of concentration in time and/or space Screening measurements of variation of concentration in time and/or space are used to: a) provide inf
