Workplace atmospheres - Procedures for measuring metals and metalloids in airborne paticles - Requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies performance requirements and test methods for procedures for measuring metals and metalloids in airborne particles collected on a suitable substrate, e.g. a filter.

Arbeitsplatzatmosphäre - Verfahren zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Metallen und Metalloiden in Schwebstoffen - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt Leistungsanforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Verfahren zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Metallen und Metalloiden in Schwebstoffen fest, die auf einem geeigneten Substrat, z.B. einem Filter, gesammelt wurden.

Atmospheres des lieux de travail - Procédures de mesurage des métaux et métalloides dans les particules en suspension dans l'air - Exigences et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne précise les exigences de performance et les méthodes d'essai pour l'évaluation des procédures de mesurage des métaux et métalloïdes présents dans les particules en suspension dans l'air recueillies sur un substrat approprié, par exemple un filtre.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux procédures de mesurage des métaux ou métalloïdes présents dans des gaz ou des vapeurs inorganiques, par exemple le mercure, l'arsine, etc. (voir l'EN 838 [1] et l'EN 1076 [2]), ni aux procédures de mesurage des métaux et métalloïdes présents dans des composés pouvant exister sous forme de mélange de particules/vapeurs, par exemple le trioxyde d'arsenic (voir l'ENV 13936 [3]).
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux procédures de mesurage qui dissocient l'étape d'échantillonnage de l'étape d'analyse, mais elle ne précise aucune exigence métrologique concernant la collecte, le transport et le stockage des échantillons, dans la mesure où ces exigences sont traitées dans l'EN 13205.
La présente Norme européenne prescrit une méthode permettant de déterminer l'erreur systématique (ou biais) et la fidélité de la méthode d'analyse ainsi que de combiner celle-ci au biais et à la fidélité de la méthode d'échantillonnage afin d'estimer l'incertitude globale de la procédure de mesurage dans son ensemble.
En l'absence de procédure de mesurage d'un métal ou métalloïde particulier satisfaisant aux exigences de la présente Norme européenne, il est recommandé d'utiliser une procédure de mesurage dont les performances sont les plus proches possibles des exigences spécifiées.

Introduction
EN 482 prescribes general requirements for the performance of procedures for measuring chemical agents in
workplace atmospheres. These requirements include maximum values of overall uncertainty (a combination of
precision and bias) achievable under prescribed laboratory conditions.
This European Standard provides a framework for assessing the performance of procedures for measuring metals
and metalloids against the criteria specified in EN 482. It enables producers and users of procedures for measuring
metals and metalloids in airborne particles to adopt a consistent approach to method validation.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies performance requirements and test methods for the evaluation of procedures for
measuring metals and metalloids in airborne particles collected on a suitable substrate, e.g. a filter.
This European Standard is not applicable to procedures for measuring metals or metalloids present in inorganic
gases or vapours, e.g. mercury, arsine, etc (see EN 838 [1] and EN 1076 [2]), or to procedures for measuring
metals and metalloids in compounds that could be present as a particle/vapour mixture, e.g. arsenic trioxide (see
ENV 13936 [3]).
This European Standard is applicable to measuring procedures in which sampling and analysis is carried out in
separate stages, but it does not specify performance requirements for collection, transport and storage of samples,
since these are dealt with in EN 13205.
This European Standard specifies a method for determining the bias and precision of the analytical method and
combining this with the bias and precision of the sampling method to estimate the overall uncertainty of the
measuring procedure as a whole.
