Stationary source emissions - Determination of the mass concentration of PCDDs/PCDFs and dioxin-like PCBs - Part 5: Long-term sampling of PCDDs/PCDFs and PCBs

This Technical Specification CEN/TS 1948-5 specifies the long-term sampling of PCDD/PCDF/PCB concentrations in emissions of stationary sources. It is intended to base the new method on EN 1948 Part 2, 3, 4 "Analyses of PCDD/PCDF/PCB".
The development of the new method is necessary due to the enhanced demand of several European countries and of the European Commission with regard to possible amendment of the Waste Incineration Directive 2000/76.

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/pdf/technical_annex2.pdf
Preferably the development of the method has to be done by validation measurements.

Introduction
EN 1948-1, EN 1948-2, EN 1948-3 and EN 1948-4 describe reference methods for the determination of
PCDD/PCDF/PCB, whereas this Technical Specification gives requirements for long-term sampling
measurements in connection with the appropriate analytical methods (equivalent method). In contrast to the
standard reference method (EN 1948-1) which refers to monitoring the limit value for compliance with
emission limit values (ELVs) in Directives, such as Industrial Emission Directive (IED) [10], the long-term
sampling is intended to determine the average concentration level during a longer period (see e.g. [12], [13]).
CEN/TS 1948-5 provides a method for measuring long term average mass concentrations but it does not
specify its potential use by the competent authority for demonstrating compliance with long term ELVs.
Long-term sampling methods are not automatic measurement methods and do not provide continuous
emission monitoring data (real time display).
This Technical Specification in connection with EN 1948-2 and EN 1948-3 (extraction and analysis) are
necessary for the performance of long-term sampling of PCDDs/PCDFs/ PCBs.
In some European Union countries PCDD/PCDF/PCB long-term sampling is an obligatory measurement for
some incineration processes. In other countries of the European Union this may be obligatory in the future.
The European Organization for Standardization (CEN) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that
compliance with this document may involve the use of patents concerning the use of PCDD/PCDF/PCB long-
term sampling systems, described in this document. This is valid for
a) the filter/conden
