Air quality - Evaluation of the suitability of a measurement procedure by comparison with a required measurement uncertainty (ISO 14956:2002)

This International Standard specifies, for the field of air quality measurement procedures, the:
estimation of measurement uncertainty from actual or claimed values of all important performance characteristics of a method under stationary conditions; assessment of whether or not specified values for these performance characteristics comply with the required quality of a measured value at a stated measurand value; evaluation of the applicability of the measurement method based on laboratory performance and confirmatory field test; establishment of requirements on dynamic behaviour of instruments.
This International Standard is applicable to measurement procedures whose output is a defined time average.

¾ zur Schätzung der Messunsicherheit aufgrund des Einflusses von tatsächlichen oder vorgegebenen Werten aller wichtigen Verfahrenskenngrößen eines Messverfahrens unter stationären Bedingungen;
¾ zur Bewertung, ob die geforderte Qualität des Messwertes mit den festgelegten Werten dieser Verfahrens-kenngrößen für einen bestimmten Wert der Messgröße eingehalten wird;
¾ zur Überprüfung der Eignung des Messverfahrens aufgrund seiner Leistungsfähigkeit im Labor und deren Bestätigung in Feldtests;
¾ zur Festlegung von Anforderungen an das dynamische Verhalten von Geräten.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt für Messverfahren, deren Messsignal ein festgelegter zeitlicher Mittelwert ist.

Qualité de l'air - Evaluation de l'aptitude à l'emploi d'une procédure de mesurage par comparaison avec une incertitude de mesure requise (ISO 14956:2002)

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14956 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC 4, General aspects.

Introduction
A measuring task generally includes information on the required quality of the measurement result, which may be
quantified by the measurement uncertainty. The required quality may be specified, e.g. by legislation, by authorities
or the parties involved.
The quality of a measurement result strongly depends on the performance of the measuring method used. This
International Standard specifies the procedures to determine the measurement uncertainty of an individual
measurement result, using relevant performance characteristics of the measuring method, and to verify compliance
with the requirements of the measuring task.
A procedure for establishing the uncertainty of the time average of a series of single measurements will be given in
a separate International Standard [3].
