9.3.1 Instrument response of a PMD analyser caused
by gases other than oxygen is comparatively slight. The oxygen equivalents
of the common exhaust gas constituents are shown in table 6.

9.3.2 The observed oxygen concentration shall
be corrected by the following formula:
9.3.3 For ZRDO and ECS analysers, instrument interference
caused by gases other than oxygen shall be compensated in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations and with good engineering
practice. Electrochemical sensors shall be compensated for CO2 and
NOx interference.
