Introduction
This document describes the quality assurance procedures related to automated measuring systems
(AMS) for the determination of total mercury in waste gas, in order to meet the uncertainty requirements
on measured values given by regulations, e.g. EU Directives [1], national or other legislation.
This document is derived from EN 14181, which specifies general procedures for establishing quality
assurance levels (QAL) for AMS installed on industrial plants for the determination of the flue gas
components and other flue gas parameters. It amends EN 14181 and provides guidance specific to total
mercury measurements. It is only applicable in conjunction with EN 14181.
The calibration and validation of mercury AMS that measure the total vapour phase mercury content is
based on parallel measurements with the manual method described in EN 13211. The species of mercury
0 2+
(elemental Hg and oxidized Hg ) and the physical occurrence (gaseous, dust-bound or within droplets)
can vary significantly depending on the type of process to be monitored and this is taken into account
when implementing the SRM.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for the calibration and validation (QAL2), the ongoing quality
assurance during operation (QAL3) and the annual surveillance test (AST) of AMS used for monitoring

(ELV). This document is derived from EN 14181 and is only applicable in conjunction with EN 14181.
This document is applicable by direct correlation with the standard reference method (SRM) described
in EN 13211.
