Title (German)

Exposition am Arbeitsplatz - Leitfaden für die Anwendung direkt anzeigender Geräte zur Überwachung von Aerosolen - Teil 1: Auswahl des Monitors für besondere Anwendungsfälle

Overview

Principles are specified which are based on the assessment of one or more aerosol fractions for which direct-reading aerosol monitors are used. The currently existing methods for monitoring the aerosol level at the workplace are described. Furthermore, details for restrictions on use and possible applications are given. The document does not apply to the sampling of aerosols for monitoring of occupational exposure limit values as well as the collection of aerosol particles for subsequent analysis. The standard prepared by Working Group "Staub" (NA 095-03-01-01 AK) ("Particulate matter") of Working Committee "Messstrategien und Anforderungen an Messverfahren"("Measurement strategies and requirements for test methods") at the Standards Committee Safety Design Principles (NASG) of DIN adopts Technical Report CEN/TR 16013-1:2010 of CEN/TC 137 "Assessment of workplace exposure to chemical and biological agents" (secretariat: DIN, Germany) in modified form. With respect to the European reference document, in particular Tables 8 and 10 have been updated with regard to the photometers or optical particle counters available at the time of publication and Figures 1, 5 and 6 have been technically revised.
