4 General requirements

When performing calibrations according to the reference measurement procedure described in

this document, all provisions and requirements of this document shall be followed or exceeded (e.g.,

performing 30 instead of 10 replicates per volume). If one or more of those requirements is not followed,

conformity to this document shall not be claimed.
5 Test equipment
5.1 General

Measurement equipment for spectrophotometry, weighing, temperature, density, pH, humidity, and

barometric pressure shall be traceable to the international system of units (SI) and shall meet the

uncertainty requirements of this document.

NOTE An example of the calculation of the expanded uncertainty of the photometric reference procedure is

[1]
given in ISO/TR 16153 .
5.2 Spectrophotometer

The visible range spectrophotometer shall meet the performance requirements specified in Table 1 at

520 nm and 730 nm.
Table 1 — Performance requirements of the spectrophotometric system
Parameter Requirement
Photometric repeatability at A = 0,0 AU 0,000 05 AU
Photometric repeatability at A = 0,5 AU 0,000 05 AU
Photometric repeatability at A = 1,0 AU 0,000 10 AU
Photometric repeatability at A = 1,5 AU 0,000 15 AU
Centre wavelength reproducibility 0,025 nm
Bandwidth reproducibility 0,050 nm
Reproducibility of cuvette attenuance 0,000 10 AU
ND glass calibration standards
Uncertainty at A = 0,5 AU 0,001 5 AU
Uncertainty at A = 1,0 AU 0,002 5 AU
Uncertainty at A = 1,5 AU 0,003 0 AU

Repeatability to be measured as standard deviation using the same reading procedures, settings and conditions as

are used during the photometric volume determination. Adjusting integration time (sample averaging time), bandpass (slit

width), and the number of replicate readings are acceptable means of improving the spectrophotometer’s repeatability.

Wavelength and bandwidth reproducibility applies to instruments where wavelength and bandwidth are adjustable. It

does not apply to fixed-wavelength interference filter instruments.

Cuvette attenuance reproducibility applies to the spectrophotometer and cuvette tested together. An example is given

[1]
in ISO/TR 16153 .
Applicable when use of ND glass standard is specified by the manufacturer.
5.3 Cuvette and mixer

The cuvette shall be made of a material with at least 99 % internal optical transmittance at 520 nm and

730 nm. The cuvette shall have an optical path length of 20 mm ± 2 mm. If multiple cuvettes are used,

each cuvette shall have a path length within ± 0,2 mm of the chosen nominal.

A mixing mechanism shall be fitted to the cuvette holder of the spectrophotometer, such that the

cuvette’s contents can be mixed while the cuvette remains seated in the spectrophotometer. Mixing

© ISO 2022 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 8655-8:2022
ISO 8655-8:2022(E)

shall ensure that the liquid contents are mixed to within 0,010 % of complete mixing. Mixing speed

shall be sufficient to wash down dye solution deposited on the cuvette side wall.

Mixing mechanisms, such as orbital mixing, a glass-covered magnetic stir bar or a PTFE-covered

(polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE) magnetic stir bar may be used and shall be verified to meet this

requirement.

NOTE Complete mixing is achieved when re-mixing and re-measuring the absorbance produces a systematic

change no larger than the required value.
5.4 Measuring devices

The minimum requirements for each relevant measuring device are specified in Table 2.

Table 2 — Minimum requirements for measuring devices
Device Resolution Expanded uncertainty of meas-
urement (k = 2)
Thermometer for liquids 0,01 °C 0,2 °C
Thermometer for room air 0,1 °C 0,3 °C
Hygrometer 1 % relative humidity 5 % relative humidity
Barometer 0,1 kPa 1 kPa
Timing device 1 s not applicable

NOTE Acceptable means of measuring the temperature of a solution in a cuvette include a thermistor bead

probe immersed in the solution within the cuvette; a suitable contact thermometer on the outside of the cuvette;

or a suitable infrared thermometer.
