Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The reference method for the sampling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ambient air is described in EN 12341:2014. The reference method for the measurement of benzo(a)pyrene in ambient air is that described in EN 15549:2008 ‘ Air quality — Standard method for the measurement of concentration of benzo[a]pyrene in ambient air ’ . In the absence of a CEN standard method for the other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons referred to in Article 4(8), Member States are allowed to use national standards methods or ISO methods such as ISO standard 12884.
A Member State may also use any other method which it can demonstrate give results equivalent to the above method.
