1.1本规程涵盖了分光光度性能要求的描述，尤其是测试方法，以及测试特定方法可用设备的充分性（例如，给定应用的资格）。测试给出了控制分光光度法结果的一些重要参数的测量值，但具体来说，不能得出结论，即仪器性能中的所有因素都是测量的，或者实际上可能是给定应用所必需的。 1.1.1本规程主要针对用于透射率测量的色散分光光度计，而不是用于漫透射和漫反射的仪器。 1.2以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1本规程允许分析员将特定分光光度法中使用的仪器的一般性能与开发该方法中使用的仪器的性能进行比较。

1.1 This practice covers the description of requirements of spectrophotometric performance, especially for test methods, and the testing of the adequacy of available equipment for a specific method (for example, qualification for a given application). The tests give a measurement of some of the important parameters controlling results obtained in spectrophotometric methods, but it is specifically not to be concluded that all the factors in instrument performance are measured, or in fact may be required for a given application. 1.1.1 This practice is primarily directed to dispersive spectrophotometers used for transmittance measurements rather than instruments designed for diffuse transmission and diffuse reflection. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This practice permits an analyst to compare the general performance of an instrument, as it is being used in a specific spectrophotometric method, with the performance of instruments used in developing the method.
