BS ISO 17714:2007

This standard BS ISO 17714:2007 Meteorology. Air temperature measurements. Test methods for comparing the performance of thermometer shields/screens and defining important characteristics is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.200.20 Temperature-measuring instruments
• 07.060 Geology. Meteorology. Hydrology

This International Standard defines characteristics of a thermometer shield/screen. It also defines test methods to inter-compare the behaviour of different screen designs.

Although screens are usually used for both air temperature and humidity measurements, this International Standard is applicable only to temperature measurements.

Both naturally and artificially ventilated screens are considered.
