This European Standard specifies performance requirements and test methods under prescribed laboratory
conditions for the evaluation of diffusive samplers and of procedures using these samplers for the
determination of gases and vapours in workplace atmospheres.
This European Standard is applicable to diffusive samplers and measuring procedures using these samplers
in which sampling and analysis are carried out in separate stages.
