    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines a laboratory performance test for samplers for the inhalable, thoracic and respirable aerosol fractions, based on determining the sampling efficiency curve of a candidate sampler at a minimum of nine particle sizes.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies a laboratory performance test for samplers for the inhalable, thoracic and respirable aerosol fractions, based on determining the sampling efficiency curve of a candidate sampler at a minimum of nine particle sizes. It specifies methods for testing aerosol samplers under prescribed laboratory conditions in order to test whether the performance of a candidate sampler fulfils the requirements of EN 13205-1:2014.

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