Foreword
This document (prCEN/TS 15883:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 295
“Residential solid fuel burning appliances”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the Technical Committee Approval.

Introduction
All the standards of CEN/TC 295 deal with the field of residential heating and cooking appliances
burning solid fuels covering the standardization of appliance construction, safety and commissioning
requirements and performance requirements (e.g. heat outputs, efficiency and emissions) together
with supporting test methods.
This European Technical Specification (TS) deals with methods for the measurements of NOx, and
OGC/total hydrocarbons emissions and particulate and dust produced by the above mentioned
heating and cooking appliances.
For the nitrogen oxides this European Technical Specification describes the ‘Chemiluminescence
method’ and the ‘Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) method’. Besides these two techniques, there are
also the ‘Non-dispersive ultraviolet (NDUV) method’ and the ‘Non-extractive (in situ) method’ which
are described in detail in ISO 10849:1996.
For the total hydrocarbon contents the method is described but the TS does not give any information
regarding separate constituents due to the measurements being expressed as equivalents of a
reference substance. In this method the measurement is continuous.
Finally, for the measurements of particulate and dust, this European Technical Specification reports,
in the Annex, three official methods that coincide respectively with the combined Austrian and
German method, the Norwegian method and the UK method currently in force in these countries.

3 Terms and definitions
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this Technical Specification, the following definitions apply.
3.1.1
absorption
incorporation of a substance into the body of a liquid or solid
3.1.2
calibration
set of operations that establish the relationship between values of quantities indicated by a measuring
instrument or measuring system, or values represented by a material measure or a reference
material, and the corresponding values realized by standards
3.1.3
dew point
temperature at, or below which, the condensation from the gas phase will occur
3.1.4
dust
particles of various shape, structure and density scattered in the gaseous phase of the flue gas
kSIST-TS prCEN/TS 15883:2009
prCEN/TS 15883:2008 (E)
3.1.5
gas sample
portion of gaseous material on which observations can be made in order to provide data on the
gaseous material from which it has been removed
NOTE A sample is taken as being representative of the gaseous material if the same observations are
supplied on any other samples taken from this gaseous material to furnish the same data within preset intervals.
3.1.6
line
gas-tight system of tubing equipped with accessories such a valves, manometers, etc. enabling gas to
be transported from one point to another
3.1.7
measured value
estimated value of the air quality characteristics derived from an output signal; this usually involves
calculations related to the calibration process and conversion to required quantities
3.1.8
nominal heat output
declared heat output of an appliance achieved under defined test conditions when burning the
specified test fuel in accordance with the European standard relevant to that appliance
3.1.9
reference material
material or substance one or more of whose property values is sufficiently homogeneous and well
established to be used for the calibration of an apparatus, the assessment of measurement method,
or for assigning values to materials
3.1.10

device that can be meaningfully distinguished
3.1.11
sample line
line provided to remove a representative sample of a gas to be analysed and to transport it from the
sample point to the analyzer
4 Emission test methods: measurements of total hydrocarbons (THC)
NOTE These methods are intended to determine the total hydrocarbon content in the flue gases from
appliances burning solid fuels. The method uses an instrument equipped with a flame ionisation detector (FID).
The measurement is continuous. The result obtained is expressed as equivalents of a reference substance,
usually methane or propane. The measurement concerns only the total hydrocarbon content and does not give
any information of separate constituents. The sampling point should be as described for the measurement
section detailed in the test methods appropriate to the appliance as given in the European Standard covering the
requirement and testing of these residential heating and cooking appliances burning solid fuels.
4.1 General procedure
The measurement is extractive and continuous, i.e. a sample of test gas flow is continuously extracted
and is analyzed in a free-standing instrument. The sampling point shall be as described in the test
methods detailed in the European Standard appropriate to the appliance being tested. If there is a
damper or any other device which favours the lack of homogeneity in the flow, the measuring point
shall be moved to a position where the flow is homogenous. The measuring system shall be heated to
195 °C.
kSIST-TS prCEN/TS 15883:2009
prCEN/TS 15883:2008 (E)
4.2 Equipment
The measuring system consists of the following components.
Instrument with flame ionisation detector, FID. Measuring range, usually between 0 -10 and 0 -
100 000 ppm. The instrument shall be equipped with a heated filter.
Gas probe with a cleaning filter for particulates. The probe shall consist of a suitable material,
such as corrosion resistant steel. The filter shall be heated so that condensation is avoided. This
requires a temperature in the filter of 195 °C.
Sample line. The sample line shall be heated to the same temperature as the filter. The inner line
shall be of PTFE and be exchangeable. The sample line shall be as short as possible.
4.3 Calculation of organic gaseous compounds (OGC)
4.3.1 This method describes how to calculate the content of organic gaseous compounds
1)
expressed in mg/Nm (dry) (at normal condition ) and based upon an oxygen content of 13 % in the
exit flue gases. The calculation of total hydrocarbons (THC) content is based on a c
