Popis: Main text This report presents the results of CCQM-K150, a key comparison between nine National Measurement Institutes (NMIs) which tested the capability of the NMIs to measure particle number concentration (in the range of 100 to 20 000 cm-3) using condensation particle counters (CPCs), and particle charge concentration (in the range of 0.15 to 3 fC cm-3) using aerosol electrometers (AEs). Measurements of aerosol particle number concentration are needed to demonstrate compliance to vehicle emission legislation and are becoming increasingly important in other areas such as ambient air and workplace monitoring. The measurements are typically carried out using condensation particle counters, which are calibrated using either reference CPCs or reference AEs. An analogous report is available for the CCQM-P189 comparison. CCQM-P189 was identical to and used the same experimental data as CCQM-K150 with one exception: data from TROPOS, which is not an NMI or Designated Institute (DI), were only included in CCQM-P189. CCQM-K150 was an amount-of-substance Track C comparison. To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCQM, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
