1. SCOPE
1.1 Identification
This specification presents the minimum performance requirements and manufacturer identified
detection capabilities for a Stationary Monitoring Point Chemical Vapor Detector (SPCVD). This
specification is one of several documents that define the parameters for the family of chemical
detectors (e.g. handheld, mobile, and stationary). This specification gives the requirements for a
stationary monitoring detector capable of detecting chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic
industrial chemicals (TICs) at concentrations that pose a risk to human health. SPCVDs may
provide different sensitivities for different chemicals. This specification provides the chemical
vapor detection requirements including sensitivity and selectivity under specific environmental
conditions and it provides the system, environmental, and documentation requirements.
1.2 Operational concept
The SPCVD can be used to detect, identify, and quantify chemical vapors that pose varying degrees
of hazard, as defined by the Acute Exposure Guideline Levels, AEGL-1 to AEGL-3. The SPCVD
is intended to be positioned in or around facilities (e.g., train stations, subways, airports, or other
buildings/structures) either indoor or outdoor locations. The SPCVD can be used manually or
autonomously to monitor over extended operational periods and will provide information about the
detected chemical vapors via a datalink. The SPCVD may be used as a standalone detector or may
be integrated into a large monitoring system. The detector may be operated in explosive
atmospheres.

APPENDIX C - VERIFICATION METHODS – CHEMICAL DETECTION
Test methods and procedures for verification of the fulfillment of the chemical detection
requirements listed in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 are under development.
In the mean time, test methods for verification of the fulfillment of the chemical detection
requirements from the private sector, DHS, and/or DOD may be employed, as appropriate. The
manufacturer may submit alternative methods, techniques, or equipment for review and approval
prior to use.
REQUIREMENTS TEST METHODS 4. CHEMICAL DETECTION REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Detection, identification, and sensitivity *under development 4.2 Selectivity *under development
* Notes:
Test methods will be added as they are adopted.
ASTM Task group should identify appropriate, publically available, test methods.
