DIN EN 13936:2014-04 EN 13936:2014 (E) 5 Introduction EN 482 specifies general requirements for the performance of procedures that methods for the measurement of the concentration of chemical agents in workplace atmospheres should meet. These performance criteria include maximum
30、values of expanded uncertainty achievable under prescribed laboratory conditions for the methods to be used. Chemical agents in workplace air are often present in both gaseous and non-gaseous phases at the same time and therefore validated methods are required that can measure the combined concentra
31、tion of the chemical agent in both phases. Examples include: processes that generate aerosols of volatile or semi-volatile liquids or solids such a paint spraying, metalworking with coolants and lubricants, acid pickling etc. and hot processes which generate vapours of chemical agents that are norma
32、lly in the liquid or solid phase under ambient conditions, e.g. road surfacing with bitumen. For health-related sampling of mixed-phase aerosols, it is necessary to measure the mass concentration of the inhalable fraction of hazardous chemical agents, regardless of whether they are present as airbor
33、ne particles or vapour. This generally means drawing air through two or more collection media in series. If a chemical agent is collected in the form of airborne particles and it has a significant vapour pressure under ambient conditions, it will wholly or partly volatilise during sampling. Subseque
34、ntly the resulting vapour needs to be collected so that the total mass of the chemical agent can be measured; the chemical agent can also be lost from the collected airborne particles after sampling if it is not stabilised. In some cases, it might also be necessary to measure the distribution of che
35、mical agents between the particulate and vapour phases as well as the mass concentration of the inhalable fraction. For example, there can be compounds whose toxicology is known to differ significantly depending on whether they exist as airborne particles or vapour. In addition, control measures in
36、the workplace can depend on which phase dominates. Exposure limits can be phase-specific. However, the separate quantification of airborne particles and vapour is technically complex and subject to error using existing sampling technologies. For this reason, this European Standard is not applicable
37、to methods that differentiate between the sampled airborne particles and vapour. DINEN 13936:2014-04EN 13936:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies performance requirements and test methods for the evaluation of procedures for measuring a chemical agent present as a mixture of airborne
38、particles and vapour in workplace air. This European Standard establishes general principles to enable developers and users of mixed-phase samplers and methods to adopt a consistent approach to method validation and provides a framework for the assessment of method performance in accordance with EN
39、482. Annex A of this European Standard gives guidance on possible approaches to sample mixtures of airborne particles and vapour and Annex B gives information about their physical behaviour. This European Standard is not applicable to methods that differentiate between the sampled airborne particles
40、 and vapour. This European Standard is not applicable to a chemical agent present in different chemical and physical forms (for example, mercury in the form of Hg (0) and Hg (II). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
