Ambient air quality - Standard method for the measurement of the concentration of ozone by ultraviolet photometry
This document specifies a continuous measurement method for the determination of the concentration of ozone present in ambient air based on the ultraviolet photometric measuring principle. This document describes the performance characteristics, and sets the relevant minimum criteria required to select an appropriate ultraviolet photometric ozone analyser by means of type approval tests. It also includes the evaluation of the suitability of an anayser for use in a specific fixed site so as to meet the Directives data quality requirements and requirements during sampling, calibration and quality assurance.
The method is applicable to the determination of the mass concentration of ozone present in ambient air in the range from 0 mg/m3 to 500 mg/m3. This concentration range represents the certification range for the type approval test.
NOTE 1 0 mg/m3 to 500 mg/m3 of O3 corresponds to 0 nmol/mol to 250 nmol/mol of O3.
The method covers the determination of ambient air concentrations of ozone in zones classified as rural areas, urban and urban-background areas.
NOTE 2 Other ranges may be used for measurement systems applied at rural locations monitoring Ecosystems.
The results are expressed in mg/m3 (at 20 °C and 101,3 kPa).
When the standard is used for other purposes than the EU-directive, the range and uncertainty requirements need not apply.
Luftqualität - Messverfahren zur Bestimmung der Konzentration von Ozon mit Ultraviolett-Photometrie
Dieses Dokument legt ein kontinuierliches Messverfahren zur Bestimmung der Konzentration von Ozon in Luft nach dem Ultraviolett-Photometrie-Messprinzip fest. Dieses Dokument gibt die Leistungskenngrößen an und legt die relevanten Mindestanforderungen für die Eignungsprüfung von Ultraviolett-Photometern fest. Es schließt auch die Bewertung der Eignung eines Messgeräts zur Anwendung an einer spezifischen Messstelle hinsichtlich der Anforderungen der EU-Richtlinien an die Datenqualität und hinsichtlich der Anforderungen für Probenahme, Kalibrierung und Qualitätssicherung ein.
Das Verfahren ist anwendbar zur Bestimmung der Massenkonzentration von Ozon in Luft im Bereich von 0 µg/m3 bis 500 µg/m3. Dieser Konzentrationsbereich entspricht dem Zertifizierungsbereich für die Eignungsprüfung.
ANMERKUNG 1 0 µg/m3 bis 500 µg/m3 O3 entspricht 0 nmol/mol bis 250 nmol/mol O3.
Das Verfahren umfasst die Bestimmung der Konzentration von Ozon in Gebieten, die als ländliche Gebiete, städtische Gebiete und Gebiete mit städtischem Hintergrund klassifiziert sind.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für Messsysteme an ländlichen Standorten zur Überwachung von Ökosystemen können kleinere Messbereiche verwendet werden.
Die Ergebnisse werden in µg/m3 (bei 293 K und 101,3 kPa) angegeben.
Wenn diese Norm für andere als in der EU-Richtlinie festgelegte Zwecke eingesetzt wird, brauchen die Anforderungen hinsichtlich Anwendungsbereich und Unsicherheit nicht zur Geltung kommen.
Qualité de l'air ambiant - Méthode normalisée pour le mesurage de la concentration en ozone par photométrie U.V.
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de mesurage en continu pour la détermination de la concentration en ozone de l'air ambiant. Cette méthode est basée sur le principe de mesure par photométrie U.V. Le présent document décrit les caractéristiques de performance et fixe les criteres minimums requis pour sélectionner un analyseur par photométrie U.V. approprié a l'aide d'essais d'approbation de type. Il présente également l'évaluation de l'aptitude a l'emploi d'un analyseur sur un site fixe spécifique de maniere a répondre aux exigences de qualité des données prescrites dans les Directives ainsi qu'aux exigences a observer au cours du prélevement, de l'étalonnage et de l'assurance qualité.
La méthode s'applique a la détermination de la concentration massique en ozone présent dans l'air ambiant dans la plage allant de 0 mg/m3 a 500 mg/m3. Cette plage de concentration représente l'étendue de mesure certifiée pour l'essai d'approbation de type.
NOTE 1 0 µg/m3 a 500 mg/m3 d'O3 correspondent a 0 nmol/mol a 250 nmol/mol d'O3.
La méthode couvre la détermination des concentrations en ozone présent dans l'air ambiant dans les zones classées comme zones rurales, urbaines et périurbaines.
NOTE 2 D'autres plages peuvent etre utilisées pour les systemes de mesure appliqués aux zones rurales contrôlant des écosystemes.
Les résultats sont exprimés en mg/m3 (a 20 °C et 101,3 kPa).
Lorsque la norme est utilisée a d'autres fins que la Directive UE, les exigences relatives a la plage et a l'incertitude peuvent ne pas etre appliquées.

5 Principle
5.1 General
This document describes the method for measurement of the concentration of ozone in ambient air by means of
ultraviolet photometry. The requirements, the specific components, the ultraviolet photometric analyser and its
sampling system are described. For the analyser a number of performance characteristics with associated
minimum performance criteria are given. The actual values of these performance characteristics for a specific type
of analyser have to be determined in a so-called type approval test for which procedures have been described. The
type approval test comprises a laboratory and a field test. The selection of a suitable analyser for a specific
measuring task in the field is based on the calculation of the combined expanded uncertainty of the measuring
method. In this combined expanded uncertainty calculation the actual values of the various performance
characteristics of a type approved analyser and the site-specific conditions at the monitoring station are taken into
account. The expanded uncertainty of the method shall meet the requirements of the (EU) legislation. For ongoing
measurements in the field, requirements and recommendations for quality assurance and quality control are given
(see 9.4).
5.2 Measuring principle
Sampled air is drawn continuously through an optical absorption cell where it is irradiated by monochromatic
radiation, c
