Workplace Exposure - Procedures for Measuring Gases and Vapours Using Diffusive Samplers: Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 838 standard outlines the specific requirements and test methods for diffusive samplers used to measure gases and vapours in workplace atmospheres. The standard focuses on ensuring accurate and reliable measurements by providing guidelines for the design and performance of these samplers in laboratory conditions.
The standard specifies the necessary criteria that diffusive samplers must meet in order to accurately measure gases and vapours in the workplace environment. It outlines the parameters and performance characteristics that need to be considered, such as the sampling rate, the limit of detection, and the overall sampling efficiency. By establishing these criteria, the standard aims to ensure the consistency and reliability of measurements obtained using these samplers.
In addition to defining the requirements for diffusive samplers, the standard also provides test methods that can be used to evaluate their performance. These test methods are designed to assess various aspects such as the sampler's ability to collect the target gas or vapour, its accuracy in quantifying the concentration, and its long-term stability. By conducting these tests, users can determine whether a particular diffusive sampler meets the standard's requirements and is suitable for use in workplace exposure measurements.
