Linearity requirements. The PN analyser including the sampling line shall fulfil the linearity requirements of paragraph 3.2. of Annex 5 using monodisperse or polydisperse soot-like particles. The particle size (mobility diameter or count median diameter) shall be larger than 45 nm. The reference instrument shall be an Electrometer or a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) with d50 = 10 nm or lower, verified for linearity. Alternatively, a particle number system compliant with UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP. In addition, the differences of the PN analyser from the reference instrument at all points checked (except the zero point) shall be within 15 per cent of their mean value. At least 5 points equally distributed (plus the zero) shall be checked. The maximum checked concentration shall be > 90 per cent of the PN analyser nominal measurement range. If the PN analyser is calibrated in parts, then the linearity can be checked only for the PN detector, but the efficiencies of the rest parts and the sampling line shall be considered in the slope calculation.
