This document specifies general performance requirements for procedures for determination of the
concentration of chemical agents in workplace atmospheres as required by the Chemical Agents Directive
98/24/EC (see [1]). These requirements apply to all measuring procedures, irrespective of the physical form of
the chemical agent (gas, vapour, suspended matter) and of the sampling method and analytical method used.
This document is applicable to all steps of a measuring procedure.
This document is applicable to measuring procedures with separate sampling and analysis steps, and also to
direct-reading devices.
