ERS & Polgar Spirometry Normal Values
These ERS/ECCS 1993 regressions published by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and are also identified by the ATS/ERS Task Force:2005 ‘Standardization of Lung Function Testing’ for Europeans. They are used all over Europe and elsewhere. The tables below are for mean normal value (Predicted) and the Lower Limit of Normality (LLN).
