20、all be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2014 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this d
21、ocument may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document together with EN 13205-1, CEN/TR 13205-3, EN 13205-4, EN 13205-5 and EN 13205-6 supersedes EN 13205:2001. EN 13205, Workplace exposure Assessment

23、 Report; Part 4: Laboratory performance test based on comparison of concentrations; Part 5: Aerosol sampler performance test and sampler comparison carried out at workplaces; Part 6: Transport and handling tests. Significant technical changes from the previous edition, EN 13205:2001: This part of EN
24、 13205 is based on Annex A of the previous edition, EN 13205:2001. The scope has been limited to aerosol samplers, and the current version of the standard is not (directly) applicable to other types of aerosol instruments. As this is now a standard in its own right, a clause on symbols used has been
25、 added. Almost all definitions are now given either in EN 1540, Workplace exposure Terminology or in Part 1 of this standard. The method of calculating the uncertainty of a sampler or a measuring procedure has been revised in order to comply with ENV 13005. The concept of “accuracy” is no longer use
26、d, instead the concept of “expanded uncertainty” is used. The five major sources of uncertainty due to aspects of the sampling performance of an aerosol sampler (calibration of sampler test system, estimation of sampled concentration, bias relative to the sampling convention, individual sampler vari
27、ability and excursion from nominal flow rate) are described with equations on how to incorporate these uncertainties into the expanded uncertainty of a sampler. CEN/TR 13205-3 gives recommendations how these entities may be calculated from measured sampling efficiency data. The list of the particle
28、size distributions (per sampling convention) to be used for the evaluation of sampler performance has been restricted at the lower end to reflect that particles with an aerodynamic BS EN 13205-2:2014EN 13205-2:2014 (E) 5 diameter less than 0,5 m are not sampled due to aerodynamic forces. In the curr
29、ent version, an additional requirement on the size distributions is that at least 84 % of the aerosol mass consists of particles exceeding 0,5 m. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European St

BS EN 13205-2:2014EN 13205-2:2014 (E) 6 Introduction EN 481 defines sampling conventions for the particle size fractions to be collected from workplace atmospheres in order to assess their impact on human health. Conventions are defined for
32、the inhalable, thoracic and respirable aerosol fractions. These conventions represent target specifications for aerosol samplers, giving the ideal sampling efficiency as a function of particle aerodynamic diameter. In general, the sampling efficiency of real aerosol samplers will deviate from the ta
33、rget specification, and the aerosol mass collected will therefore differ from that which an ideal sampler would collect. In addition, the behaviour of real samplers is influenced by many factors such as external wind speed. In many cases there is an interaction between the influence factors and frac
34、tion of the airborne particle size distribution of the environment in which the sampler is used. EN 13205 (all parts) enables manufacturers and users of aerosol samplers to adopt a consistent approach to sampler validation, and provide a framework for the assessment of sampler performance with respe
35、ct to EN 481 and EN 482. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of aerosol samplers to inform the user of the sampler performance under the laboratory conditions1)specified in this part of EN 13205. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the actual conditions of intended use are within
36、 what the manufacturer specifies as acceptable conditions according to the performance test. 1) The inhalable convention is undefined for particle sizes in excess of 100 m or for wind speeds greater than 4 m/s. The tests required to assess performance are therefore limited to these conditions. If su
37、ch large particle sizes or wind speeds actually existed at the time of sampling, it is possible that different samplers meeting this document give different results. BS EN 13205-2:2014EN 13205-2:2014 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a laboratory performance test for samplers for the in
38、halable, thoracic and respirable aerosol fractions, based on determining the sampling efficiency curve of a candidate sampler at a minimum of nine particle sizes. It specifies methods for testing aerosol samplers under prescribed laboratory conditions in order to test whether the performance of a ca
39、ndidate sampler fulfils the requirements of EN 13205-1:2014. This part of EN 13205 is applicable to all samplers used for the health-related sampling of particles in workplace air. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and ar
