What is BS EN 14662-3– Ambient air about?
BS EN 14662-3 is the third part of the multi-series standard that specifies a semi-continuous measurement method for the determination of the concentration of benzene present in ambient air based on automated sampling and analysis by gas chromatography.
The method described in BS EN 14662-3 applies to the determination of the mass concentration of benzene present in ambient air in the range up to 50 μg/m3 benzene. This concentration range represents the certification range for the type approval test.
NOTE 1 When the standard is used for other purposes than for measurements required by Directive 2008/50/EC, the ranges and uncertainty requirements may not apply.
NOTE 2 50 μg/m3 of benzene corresponds to 15,4 nmol/mol of benzene.
Who is BS EN 14662-3– Ambient air for?
BS EN 14662-3 on stationary waste emissions is relevant to:
- Product Engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Manufacturers and industries using air purifiers
- Researchers and scientists
- Environmentalists
Why should you use BS EN 14662-3– Ambient air?
In situ Gas chromatography is used to detect real-time oxygen release from the cathode in real-time.
BS EN 14662-3 provides methods for determining and measuring the benzene concentration by taking automated pumped samples with in situ gas chromatography.
BS EN 14662-3 describes the performance characteristics and sets the relevant minimum criteria required to select an appropriate automated gas chromatograph (GC) utilizing type approval tests.
In BS EN 14662-3, performance criteria and test procedures for measuring air quality are provided to test and manufacture air quality measuring devices. This helps create an improved solution to deal with harmful gasses emitted by stationary sources, which are very toxic.
As a whole, BS EN 14662-3 is a best practice guidance standard that provides complete requirements and test procedures for measuring benzene concentration and controlling their quality, which will reduce pollution, increase efficiency, and ease health concerns.
