INTRODUCTION
Photometric analyzers utilize detectors which respond to wavelengths in the ultraviolet,
visible and infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum (wavelengths 180 nm to 20 µm).
Within this range of wavelengths many gases have absorption/emission bands. Analyzers
designed to utilize these bands employ several techniques, including sensing of absorbed
radiation, and sensing of emitted radiation from artificially excited molecules, and sensing
of the radiation intensity/wavelength derivative. The volume of gas measured may be
contained within a sample cell, this sample may or may not be conditioned, or the concen-
tration may be directly measured within the sample gas.

EXPRESSION OF PERFORMANCE OF GAS ANALYZERS -
Part 6: Photometric analyzers
1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 1207 applies to all aspects of analyzers using photometric techniques for
the measurement of concentration of one or more components in a mixture of gases or
vapours. It should be used in conjunction with IEC 1207-1.
It applies to analyzers using non-dispersive and dispersive wavelength selection and using
absorption, emission, or wavelength derivative techniques.
It applies to analyzers which receive either a conditioned or unconditioned sample of gas
either under vacuum, at ambient pressure or pressurized.
It applies to analyzers which measure gas concentrations directly within the sample gas.
The object of this pa rt is:
rformance of
- to specify the terminology and definitions related to the functional pe
gas analyzers, utilizing a photometric analyzer, for the continuous measurement of gas
or vapour concentration in a source gas;
to unify methods used in making and verifying statements on the functional perform-
-
ance of such analyzers;
ormance
- to specify what tests should be performed to determine the functional pe rf
and how such tests should be carried out;
rt the application of standards of quality
- to provide basic documents to suppo
assurance ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003.

1 Fluorescence can occur when molecules absorb short-wavelength radiation, an electron is excited to a
higher energy level, and subsequently relaxes with emission of radiation.
