This standard specifies general performance requirements for procedures for determining the concentration of chemical agents in workplace air. Such requirements apply to all measuring procedures, irrespective of the chemical nature or physical form (gas, vapour, suspended matter) of the agent, and irrespective of the sampling method or analytical method used.
This standard is applicable to all stages of a measuring procedure, including transportation and storage of the sample where appropriate.
This standard is applicable to measuring procedures with separate sampling and analysis stages, and also in direct-reading devices.
