BS EN 13205-6:2014

This standard BS EN 13205-6:2014 Workplace exposure. Assessment of sampler performance for measurement of airborne particle concentrations is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.040.30 Workplace atmospheres

This European Standard specifies a performance test of loaded collection substrates for samplers for the inhalable, thoracic or respirable aerosol fractions and, as alternative, a handling test, both for testing transport losses of aerosol sampler substrates under prescribed conditions in order to calculate the expanded uncertainty of a measuring procedure according to EN 13205-1:2014, Annex A. The transport test involves shipping loaded substrates with ordinary mail, whereas the handling test uses a shaker.

This part of EN 13205 applies to all samplers used for the health-related sampling of particles in workplace air.
