3 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 adjustment set of operations carried out on a measuring system so that it provides prescribed indications corresponding to given values of a quantity to be measured Note 1 to entry:
Types of adjustment of a measuring system include zero adjustment of a measuring system, offset adjustment, and span adjustment (sometimes called gain adjustment). Note 2 to entry:
Adjustment of a measuring system should not be confused with calibration, which is a prerequisite for adjustment. [SOURCE: JCGM 200:2012 (VIM) [2]] Note 3 to entry:
In the context of this standard, adjustment is performed on measurement data rather than on the analyser. 3.2 ambient air outdoor air in the troposphere, excluding workplaces as defined by Directive 89/654/EEC, where provisions concerning health and safety at work apply and to which members of the public do not have regular access [SOURCE: 2008/50/EC[1]] SIST EN 14626:2012
EN 14626:2012 (E) 7 3.3 analyser measuring system that provides an output signal which is a function of the concentration, partial pressure, flow or temperature of one or more components of a gas mixture 3.4 availability of the analyser fraction of the time period for which valid measuring data of the ambient air concentration is available from an analyser
3.5 calibration operation that, under specified conditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between the quantity values with measurement uncertainties provided by measurement standards and corresponding indications with associated measurement uncertainties and, in a second step, uses this information to establish a relation for obtaining a measurement result from an indication Note 1 to entry: A calibration may be expressed by a statement, calibration function, calibration diagram, calibration curve, or calibration table. In some cases, it may consist of an additive or multiplicative correction of the indication with associated measurement uncertainty. Note 2 to entry: Calibration should not be confused with adjustment of a measuring system, often mistakenly called “self-calibration”, nor with verification of a calibration. Note 3 to entry:
Often, the first step alone in the above definition is perceived as being calibration.
[SOURCE: JCGM 200:2012 (VIM) [2]] Note 4 to entry:
In the context of this standard, calibration is a comparison of the analyser response to a known gas concentration with a known uncertainty when the information obtained from the comparison is used for the successive adjustment (if needed) of the analyser. 3.6 certification range concentration range for which the analyser is type-approved 3.7 check verification that the analyser is still operating within specified performance limits
3.8 combined standard uncertainty standard uncertainty of the result of a measurement when that result is obtained from the values of a number of other quantities, equal to the positive square root of a sum of terms, the terms being the variances or co-variances of these other quantities weighted according to how the measurement result varies with changes in these quantities [SOURCE: ENV 13005:1999] 3.9 coverage factor numerical factor used as a multiplier of the combined standard uncertainty in order to obtain an expanded uncertainty [SOURCE: ENV 13005:1999] 3.10 designated body body which has been designated for a specific task (type approval tests and/or QA/QC activities in the field) by the competent authority in the Member States SIST EN 14626:2012
EN 14626:2012 (E) 8 3.11 detection limit smallest concentration of a measurand that can be reliably detected by a specific measurement process Note 1 to entry: The detection limit is calculated as 3,3 x (sz/B) where sz is the standard deviation of analyser response at zero measurand concentration (see 8.4.5) and B is the slope of the calibration function [3].
3.12 expanded uncertainty quantity defining an interval about the result of a measurement that may be expected to encompass a large fraction of the distribution of values that could reasonably be attributed to the measurand
Note 1 to entry:
The fraction may be viewed as the coverage probability or level of confidence of the interval. Note 2 to entry:
To associate a specific level of confidence with the interval defined by the expanded uncertainty requires explicit or implicit assumptions regarding the probability distribution characterised by the measurement result and its combined standard uncertainty. The level of confidence that may be attributed to this interval can be known only to the extent to which such assumptions may be justified. [SOURCE: ENV 13005:1999] Note 3 to entry: For the purpose of this standard the expanded uncertainty is the combined standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k=2 resulting in an interval with a level of confidence of 95 %. 3.13 fall time difference between the response time (fall) and the lag time (fall) 3.14 independent measurement individual measurement that is not influenced by a previous individual measurement by separating two individual measurements by at least four response times Note 1 to entry: The largest value of response time (rise) and response time (fall) are intended. 3.15 individual measurement measurement averaged over a time period equal to the response time of the analyser Note 1 to entry: The largest value of response time (rise) and response time (fall) are intended. Note 2 to entry: This definition differs from the meaning of the concept “individual measurement” in Directive 2008/50/EC [1]. 3.16 influence quantity quantity that is not the measurand but that affects the result of the measurement

EN 14626:2012 (E) 11 PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene 5 Principle 5.1 General This standard describes the method for measurement of the concentration of carbon monoxide in ambient air by means of non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy. The requirements, the specific components of the infrared analyser and its sampling system are described. A number of performance characteristics with associated minimum performance criteria are given for the analyser. The actual values of these performance characteristics for a specific type of analyser shall be determined in a so-called type approval test for which procedures have been described. The type approval test comprises a laboratory test and a field test. The selection of a type-approved analyser for a specific measuring task in the field is based on the calculation of the expanded uncertainty of the measurement method. In this expanded uncertainty calculation, the actual values of various performance characteristics of a type-approved analyser and the site-specific conditions at the monitoring station are taken into account (see 9.6). The expanded uncertainty of the method shall not exceed 15 % for fixed measurements or 25 % for indicative measurements, as specified in Annex I of Directive 2008/50/EC [1]. Requirements and recommendations for quality assurance and quality control are given for the measurements in the field (see 9.4). 5.2 Measuring principle The attenuation of infrared light passing through a sample cell is a measure of the concentration of CO in the cell, according to the Lambert-Beer law. Not only CO but also most hetero-atomic molecules will absorb infrared light; in particular water and CO2 have broad bands that can interfere with the measurement of CO. Different technical solutions have been developed to suppress cross-sensitivity, instability and drift in order to design continuous monitoring systems with acceptable properties. For instance: measuring IR absorption of a specific wavelength (4,7 µm for CO); dual-cell monitors, using a reference cell filled with clean air (compensation for drift); gas-filter correlation, “measuring” over a range of wavelengths. Special attention shall be paid to infrared radiation absorbing gases such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and hydrocarbons. The concentration of carbon monoxide is measured in volume/volume units (if the analyser is calibrated using a volume/volume standard). The final results for reporting are expressed in mg/m3 using standard conversion factors (see Clause 10). 5.3 Type approval test The type approval test is based on the evaluation of performance characteristics determined under a prescribed series of tests. In this European Standard, test procedures are described for the determination of the actual values of the performance characteristics for at least two analysers in a laboratory and the same analysers in the field, operated in parallel in both cases. The type approval laboratory tests shall not include the sampling inlet, sampling system and external data acquisition system, but shall include analyser sampling line and filter. The type approv
