    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.

    environment. Appendix A identifies chemicals and vapor concentrations of interest.

    a. The manufacturer shall identify which chemical(s) their detector detects.

    b. For the AEGL values, the maximum alarm cycle time of the detector shall be equal to or

    less than the time identified below:

    i. AEGL-3 (30 min) – 60 s for detector alarm. ii. AEGL-2 (30 min) – 120 s for detector alarm.
