ISO 16000-34:2018 PDF Download

ISO 16000-34:2018 is a standard that provides strategies for measuring airborne particles in indoor air. It covers particles in the size range of approximately 1 nm to 100 µm. The document describes different methods for identifying indoor particle sources and gives recommendations for obtaining representative samples. It also discusses the main sources of indoor particulate matter and the dynamics of indoor particles.

The standard provides detailed information on various measurement methods, including their advantages, disadvantages, and areas of application. It also offers general sampling recommendations. The document includes reference case studies that provide more specific sampling recommendations for different scenarios.

The standard emphasizes that there are other documents in the ISO 16000 series that focus on specific fractions of airborne particulate matter and provide specific recommendations for those measurements. It also addresses the determination of measurement uncertainty and minimum reporting requirements.

However, it is important to note that ISO 16000-34:2018 does not apply to the measurement of bioaerosols or the chemical characterization of particles. For these types of measurements, other parts of the ISO 16000 series should be consulted. Additionally, the standard does not cover the measurement of airborne particles in vehicle passenger compartments and public transport systems.
