The work of preparing Internati
12、onal 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 and non-governmental, in liaison with IS
13、O, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Int
14、ernational Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO13752 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC4, General aspects.

Corresponding test procedures are given in ISO9169 except for accuracy, which is dealt with in this International Standard as measurement uncertainty following
16、 the concepts of the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement 5. The measurement uncertainty under field conditions is also covered in ISO7935 and ISO10849. However, the procedure given in these International Standards is limited to either the determination of a concentration-independen
17、t systematic deviation, assuming a concentration-independent dispersion, or a concentration-proportional systematic deviation, assuming a concentration-proportional dispersion. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for assessing the measurement uncertainty of a calibrated measuremen
18、t method (test method) applied under field conditions using a second method as a reference (reference method). The reference method may not necessarily be a legally prescribed measurement method. The measurement uncertainty is derived from measurements made in parallel on real samples by comparing t
19、he measured values of the test method with those of the reference method. The result is only valid within the range of the measurements obtained. The test is designed especially for method validation. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this

The measured values from the reference method (x-method) are considered as true values.
28、The difference between the values of a measurement pair is attributed to measurement deviation of the test method (y- method). It is assumed that there is a linear relationship between the X and Y variable estimated by: The regression coefficients b 0and b 1can be calculated arithmetically if one of
29、 the following assumptions on dispersion of the y-values holds: standard deviation of the test method is independent of x (i.e. standard deviation is constant) and estimated by: standard deviation of the test method is proportional to x (i.e. coefficient of variation is constant) and estimated by: N
30、OTE 1The first assumption can be considered as fluctuations of the background or intercept value b 0without fluctuations of the slope b 1and the second as fluctuations of the slope without fluctuations of the background or intercept value. NOTE 2The value of the coefficients of the regression functi
31、on (estimation of bias) is not seriously affected by deviations from the assumption on the standard deviation. However, the estimated random part of measurement uncertainty heavily depends on the assumption. The general variance function used in this International Standard accounts not only for the
32、variability of intercept and slope but also for statistical noise, the standard deviation of which is proportional to the square root of the value itself (approximately proportional to the square root of x): NOTE 3Coefficients have been taken as squares because the coefficient rather than its square
33、 reflects the physical meaning. NOTE 4The calculation procedure of the general variance function according to ISO9169 cannot be used because repetitive measurements are not available. The coefficients of this model b 0and b 1of equation(1) and a 0 , a 1and a 2of equation (4) cannot be calculated ari
34、thmetically. They are estimated iteratively on the criterion of maximum likelihood as an indicator of best fit (see Figure 1). After selecting a set of start values for the coefficients and using the assumption on normality, the probability,P(y i ), of every data point, (x i , y i ), belonging to th
35、e line can be calculated: The likelihood L is the mathematical product of the individual probabilities of y-values: The likelihood L is the indicator of fit. The coefficients are changed and the likelihood computed until a maximum value for L is obtained. The corresponding coefficients are the most
36、likely coefficients for the regression model. For the determination by maximum likelihood a computerized optimization procedure is necessary. The uncertainty of a measured value for any AQC value is derived from the regression function and the variance function respectively. y9 i transformed value y

39、wn the procedure may be adapted. the measurement errors of the test method are normally distributed. the measurement uncertainty of the reference method is insignificant compared to that of the test method; if not, it is falsely attributed to the test method and this will result in overestimating it
40、s measurement uncertainty. the impact of differences in composition between the air sampled by the two methods is negligible compared to the expected uncertainty of the test method; if not, this error component is falsely attributed to the test method and will result in overestimating measurement un
41、certainty. The uncertainty of the coefficients calculated by this International Standard will be reduced by increasing the number of measurement pairs. Therefore, it is recommended that at least30 measurement pairs be obtained if the general variance model described in this International Standard is
42、 applied. Figure 1 Flow scheme of maximum likelihood regressionBSISO 13752:1998 4 BSI 05-1999 5.2 Test method (y-method) Specify all steps of the measurement method which will be subject to the assessment and execute the measurements as specified. 5.3 Reference method (x-method) In view of the provi
43、sions and environmental conditions, e.g. interfering, substances, temperature etc., to be expected at the test site, investigate whether the assumption is justified that the x-method yields insignificant uncertainty compared to the y-method. This investigation may be based on the properties of the m
44、easurement principle, literature data or results of laboratory tests or field tests. Describe the x-method in detail and execute the measurements accordingly. 5.4 Test conditions Make sure that the test conditions resemble the conditions under which the test method is going to be used (test period,
45、range of the air quality characteristic, range of physical and chemical influence variables, and operational conditions). Describe the provisions and the environmental conditions at the test site. The measurement equipment of both methods should be installed so that: the difference in composition be
46、tween parallel samples is insignificant and, the equipment for one method does not influence that for the other. 5.5 Data processing In the case of the general variance model, data processing requires computer facilities for finding the maximum fit (likelihood) by adjusting the values of a 0 , a 1 ,
47、 a 2 , b 0and b 1 . 6 Parallel measurements Execute parallel measurements representative of the conditions under which the test method is going to be used. Record the pairs of measured values. 7 Graphical analysis of dispersion The dispersion of measured values of a method is either constant or incr
48、eases with the AQC value. An impression of the variance as a function of the AQC value can easily be obtained graphically by plotting, for all data pairs (x i , y i ), the absolute residuals| r i| against x iwhere r i= y i and is the predicted value for a conventional linear least-square fit: if the
49、 values of the residuals are independent of x igo to 8.2; if the values of the residuals are proportional to x igo to 8.3; if the values of the residuals are neither independent of nor proportional to x igo to 8.4. In those cases where the first or second relationships only applies to part of the range, the range must be curtailed accordingly. The coefficients of the regression function and variance function in 8.2 and 8.3 can be calculated arithmetically (simple variance model). Those of 8.4 require iterative computati
