Cylinders of working gas traceable to NIST-SRM's (called EPA Protocol Calibration Gas) are also
commercially available (from sources such as Scott Specialty Gases, etc.).
7.8.12 Certification Procedures of Working Standards
NOTE
If the assayed concentration of NO
2
impurity in the NO cylinder,
[NO
2
]
imp
, is greater than the 1 ppm value allowed in the calibration
procedure, make certain that the NO delivery system is not the
source of contamination before discarding the NO standard.
The NO content of the NO working standard must be periodically assayed against NIST-traceable
NO or NO
2
standards. Any NO
2
impurity in the cylinder must also be assayed. Certification of the
NO working standard should be made on a quarterly basis or more frequently, as required.
Procedures are outlined below for certification against NO traceable standard. The simplest and most
straightforward procedure is to certify against an NO standard.
