ISO 9169:2006提供了确定已识别自动空气质量测量系统性能特征的定义和方法。试验在稳定的实验室条件或现场条件下进行。自动测量系统被视为按照规定程序运行的黑匣子。 ISO 9169:2006适用于以下信息可用的测量系统:以被测量物的物理单位提供测量结果的自动测量系统说明；自动测量系统的操作程序，包括例行调整、例行验证和校准程序（如适用）； 规定客户要求和测试条件的测试计划的职权范围。 ISO 9169:2006适用于测量系统，在应用范围内，可以使用具有已知被测物不确定度的可接受值的几种标准物质。 ISO 9169:2006没有规定要测试的自动测量系统的数量。

ISO 9169:2006 provides definitions and specifies methods to determine performance characteristics of an identified automatic air quality measuring system. Tests are carried out under stable laboratory conditions or field conditions. The automatic measuring system is considered as a black box operated according to specified procedures. ISO 9169:2006 applies to measuring systems for which the following information is available: a description of the automatic measuring system providing the result of measurement in the physical unit of the measurand; operating procedures of the automatic measuring system including, where appropriate, the procedures of routine adjustment, routine verification and calibration; terms of reference for the test program specifying the client requirements and test conditions. ISO 9169:2006 applies to measuring systems for which it is possible to apply several reference materials with accepted values with known uncertainty for the measurand, within the range of application. ISO 9169:2006 does not specify the number of automatic measuring systems to be tested.
