Scope

The standard describes methods for the preparation of test aerosols which are based on the dispersion of liquids (pure substances, solutions, suspensions, emulsions). These methods can be used for calibrating, adjusting or checking of particle counters as well as for checking the sampling, conditioning and dilution systems of these instruments.
