1.1 本指南涵盖了可用于开发分光光度计性能测试的基本程序。本指南适用于在紫外线、可见光、近红外和中红外区域工作的分光光度计。 1.2 本指南不旨在取代特定实践，如实践 E275 , E925 , E932 , E958 , E1421 或 E1683 用于测量特定类型分光光度计的性能。相反，本指南旨在提供当特定分光光度计类型不存在特定实践时，或当由于采样或安全问题而不适用特定实践时，应如何制定类似实践的指南。 本指南可用于开发在线过程分光光度计的性能测试。 1.3 本指南描述了可用于测量分光光度计性能的单变量零级和一级测试，以及多变量A级和B级测试。这些测试旨在作为分光光度计性能的快速常规检查。它们旨在发现仪器操作中的故障或其他变化，但不专门诊断或定量评估故障或变化。这些试验不是为了比较不同制造商的分光光度计。 1.4 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、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 如果ASTM E13委员会没有为特定类型的分光光度计规定适当的测试程序，或者如果E13委员会程序规定的样品与预期的分光光度计操作不兼容，则本指南可用于制定实际性能测试。 4.1.1 对于配备永久或半永久取样附件的分光光度计，委员会E13规程中规定的试样可能与分光光度计配置不兼容。例如，对于配备透射比或IRS流动池的FT-MIR仪器，基于聚苯乙烯薄膜的测试是不切实际的。 在这种情况下，这些指南提出了修改推荐试验程序的方法，以便在兼容试验材料上进行。 4.1.2 对于用于过程测量的分光光度计，由于过程污染和安全考虑，试验材料的选择可能受到限制。这些指南提出了基于与分光光度计预期用途兼容的材料开发性能测试的方法。 4.2 使用这些指南开发的测试旨在允许用户将分光光度计在任何给定日期的性能与之前的性能进行比较。 这些测试旨在发现仪器操作中的故障或其他变化，但其目的不是诊断或定量评估故障或变化。这些试验不是为了比较不同制造商的分光光度计。

1.1 This guide covers basic procedures that can be used to develop spectrophotometer performance tests. The guide is intended to be applicable to spectrophotometers operating in the ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared and mid-infrared regions. 1.2 This guide is not intended as a replacement for specific practices such as Practices E275 , E925 , E932 , E958 , E1421 , or E1683 that exist for measuring performance of specific types of spectrophotometers. Instead, this guide is intended to provide guidelines in how similar practices should be developed when specific practices do not exist for a particular spectrophotometer type, or when specific practices are not applicable due to sampling or safety concerns. This guide can be used to develop performance tests for on-line process spectrophotometers. 1.3 This guide describes univariate level zero and level one tests, and multivariate level A and level B tests which can be implemented to measure spectrophotometer performance. These tests are designed to be used as rapid, routine checks of spectrophotometer performance. They are designed to uncover malfunctions or other changes in instrument operation, but do not specifically diagnose or quantitatively assess the malfunction or change. The tests are not intended for the comparison of spectrophotometers of different manufacture. 1.4 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 If ASTM Committee E13 has not specified an appropriate test procedure for a specific type of spectrophotometer, or if the sample specified by a Committee E13 procedure is incompatible with the intended spectrophotometer operation, then this guide can be used to develop practical performance tests. 4.1.1 For spectrophotometers which are equipped with permanent or semi-permanent sampling accessories, the test sample specified in a Committee E13 practice may not be compatible with the spectrophotometer configuration. For example, for FT-MIR instruments equipped with transmittance or IRS flow cells, tests based on polystyrene films are impractical. In such cases, these guidelines suggest means by which the recommended test procedures can be modified so as to be performed on a compatible test material. 4.1.2 For spectrophotometers used in process measurements, the choice of test materials may be limited due to process contamination and safety considerations. These guidelines suggest means of developing performance tests based on materials which are compatible with the intended use of the spectrophotometer. 4.2 Tests developed using these guidelines are intended to allow the user to compare the performance of a spectrophotometer on any given day with prior performance. The tests are intended to uncover malfunctions or other changes in instrument operation, but they are not designed to diagnose or quantitatively assess the malfunction or change. The tests are not intended for the comparison of spectrophotometers of different manufacture.
