1.1These practices describe means for calibrating ambient, workplace or indoor ozone monitors, using transfer standards.

1.2These practices describe five types of transfer standards:

Practice A-Analytical instruments,

Practice B-Boric acid potassium iodide (BAKI) manual analytical procedure,

Practice C-Gas phase titration with excess nitric oxide,

Practice D-Gas phase titration with excess ozone, and

Practice E-Ozone generator device.

1.3These practices describe procedures to establish the authority of transfer standards: qualification, certification, and periodic recertification.

1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
