Particle Measurement Programme | Session 28 | 21 Nov 2013
Brussels
Agenda Item 6.2.
ISO 27891

30. Presentation provided by Dr Horn (TSI)

  • Draft – DIS submitted for vote Oct 2013. Approved.
  • FDIS to be submitted before 8 May, 2014.
  • Publication mid 2014 (approx.).

31. The ISO standard focusses on how to do the calibration – a backbone document for metrology institutes – how to acquire the data, process the data etc …

32. ISO does not specify aerosol materials as this is application specific, nor will it provide information on how to generate the primary aerosols – on that a calibration aerosol must have very few multiply charged particles.

33. Method developed how to demonstrate linearity of CPC to much lower concentrations.

34. Discussion: EMRP will decide on candidate aerosols, potentially there will be a need for a round robin. The question is how to organise and co-ordinate the calibration aerosol discussion and testing requirements.
