BS EN 16479:2014EN 16479:2014 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is a product standard for automated
20、sampling devices (samplers) for water and waste water. It defines general requirements, performance requirements, and procedures for the conformity testing of samplers. Samplers that are shown, by means of the tests, to conform with the specified requirements are considered to be fit for purpose. Ho
21、wever, this European Standard does not cover the installation and on-going use of samplers. The requirements of this European Standard are intended to be independent of measurement technology and applicable to all automated sampling devices. Water monitoring equipment is widely used for compliance m
22、onitoring purposes under national and European regulations. This European standard supports the requirements of the following EU Directives: Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) 6. Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) (91/271/EEC and 98/15/EEC) 7. Water Framework Directive (2000/60/E
23、C) 8. Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008/56/EC) 9. BS EN 16479:2014EN 16479:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines general requirements, performance requirements and conformity test procedures for automated sampling devices (samplers) for water and waste water that: sample water an
24、d waste water from non-pressurized (i. e. open to atmosphere) channels or vessels; sample over extended periods to collect discrete or composite samples based on time, event or flow proportional sampling. Specific sample integrity requirements are defined for samplers to be used for the collection o
25、f samples of final effluent or influent for the purpose of monitoring the performance of waste water treatment works, as required under the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). Samplers to be used for other industrial applications do not have to be assessed against these specific sample in
26、tegrity requirements. This European Standard does not cover the installation and on-going use of samplers. 2 Normative References The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

35、aving a negligible measurement uncertainty or if a conventional quantity value is given, in which case the measurement error is known, and b) if a measurand is supposed to be represented by a unique true quantity value or a set of true quantity values of negligible range, in which case the measureme

BS EN 16479:2014EN 16479:2014
38、 (E) 7 Note 2 to entry: The maximum lift height for samplers using vacuum pumps (e.g. pneumatic samplers and peristaltic samplers) is set to an atmospheric pressure of 1 000 mbar. At low atmospheric pressure the maximum lift height will be consequentially lower. 3.12 precision closeness of agreement

40、riation under specified conditions of measurement. Note 2 to entry: The “specified conditions” can be, for example, repeatability conditions of measurement, intermediate precision conditions of measurement, or reproducibility conditions of measurement (see ISO 5725-3:1994). Note 3 to entry: Measurem
41、ent precision is used to define measurement repeatability, intermediate measurement precision, and measurement reproducibility. Note 4 to entry: Sometimes “measurement precision” is erroneously used to mean measurement accuracy. SOURCE: ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007, 2.15 3.13 sampling interval time between

For pulse inputs, the relationship between pulse input and sample interval or volume should be adjustable as a minimum over the
