EN 482:2012/FprA1

Workplace exposure - General requirements for the performance of procedures for the measurement of chemical agents

This Amendment specifies additional requirements to be applied where health-based limit values, e.g. for carcinogenic substances, were considerably lowered. This Amendment is foreseen to change, in particular, the subclauses 5.4.4 and 5.4.5 of EN 482:2012

Exposition am Arbeitsplatz - Allgemeine Anforderungen an die Leistungsfähigkeit von Verfahren zur Messung chemischer Arbeitsstoffe

Diese Europäische Norm legt allgemeine Anforderungen an die Leistungsfähigkeit von Messverfahren zur Bestimmung der Konzentration chemischer Arbeitsstoffe in der Arbeitsplatzatmosphäre fest, wie seitens der Richtlinie über chemische Arbeitsstoffe 98/24/EG (siehe Literaturhinweis [9]) gefordert. Diese Anforderungen gelten für alle Messverfahren, unabhängig vom physikalischen Zustand des chemischen Arbeitsstoffes (Gas, Dampf, luftgetragene Partikel), vom Probenahmeverfahren und vom eingesetzten Analyseverfahren.

Exposition sur les lieux de travail - Exigences générales concernant les performances des procédures de mesure des agents chimiques

La présente Norme européenne stipule les exigences générales de performances pour les procédures servant à déterminer la concentration des agents chimiques dans les atmosphères des lieux de travail, comme requis par la Directive relative aux agents chimiques 98/24/CE (voir référence [9]). Ces exigences sont applicables à toutes les procédures de mesure, indépendamment de la forme physique de l’agent chimique (gaz, vapeur, particules en suspension dans l'air), de la méthode de prélèvement et de la méthode d’analyse employées.

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 137.

This draft amendment A1, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 482:2012. If this draft becomes an amendment, CEN
members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for inclusion of this amendment
into the relevant national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made
by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has
the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United

Foreword
This document (EN 482:2012/prA1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 137
“Assessment of workplace exposure to chemical and biological agents”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
The aim of this Amendment to EN 482:2012 is to give in a new subclause 5.4.6 additional requirements and
information how to deal with chemical agents whose limit value is considerably lowered when assessing the
potential exposure of a worker to chemical agents in workplace atmospheres. In addition, the fourth paragraph
of B.2.1.4 and the second paragraph of B.3.3.2 have been updated to take into account the requirements
given in EN ISO 13137 and the splitting of the former EN 13205 in several parts, respectively. Furthermore,
some normative and bibliographic references have been updated.
NOTE At present not all documents referenced in this Amendment have already been published. However, this will
be the case when EN 482:2012 will be consolidated with regard to this Amendment.

Introduction
Replace the second paragraph with the following:
Because of their importance in the process of exposure assessment, it is required that the measuring
procedures fulfil some general requirements which are given in this document. Specific European Standards
have been prepared for different types of measuring procedures and measuring devices. These include
European Standards for dust samplers (EN 13205-1), diffusive samplers (EN 838), pumped samplers
1)
), sampling pumps (EN ISO 13137), metals and metalloids (EN 13890),
(EN 1076), detector tubes (EN 1231
mixtures of airborne particles and vapour (EN 13936) and direct reading instruments (EN 45544 (all parts)). In
these specific European Standards, additional requirements have been included for the procedure or device in
question, so that the general requirements of this document are not compromised. Where no specific
European Standard exists, only the general requirements apply.
Delete Footnote 1 and substitute as follows:
1) EN 1231 is currently subject to revision and will be replaced by EN ISO 17621 later on.
1 Scope
Replace the first paragraph with the following:
This European Standard specifies general requirements for the performance of procedures for the
determination of the concentration of chemical agents in workplace atmospheres as required by the Chemical
Agents Directive 98/24/EC (see reference [9]). The requirements given apply to all measuring procedures,
irrespective of the physical form of the chemical agent (gas, vapour, airborne particles), the sampling method
and the analytical method used.
