EN 17255-1:2019 (E)
Introduction
This document forms part of a series of standards which, between them, govern the process for the
quality assurance of data received by a data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) from automated
measuring systems (AMS), being used for monitoring emissions from stationary sources and quality
ensured to EN 14181.
The input data can be either in analogue representation or in digital form directly from an AMS or via a
digital bus system. Inputs can include the data from the AMS, peripheral data needed for calculation of
reported data and information on plant conditions needed to apply data selection criteria.
The data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) receives the raw data, as they are measured, averaged
and presented by the AMS, and converts, averages, stores and reports data as required by legislation.
This series of standards suggests that the process of data handling is best performed in a dedicated DAHS.
It does not preclude the use of other options for all or part of the process provided that it can be shown
that they meet all of the requirements of the standard, particularly in relation to speed, accuracy, access,
security and validation.
This series of standards applies to DAHS installed after the date of implementation.
EN 17255-1 relates specifically to the handling of the data. It defines the calculations to be carried out to
produce the data outputs that DAHS provide. It specifies the minimum outputs required to meet the
requirements of legislation such as the European Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and the regulations
defining the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). The calculations are based on
the requirements in these directives and regulations. These two reporting requirements form the basis
of this series of standards. However, although DAHS can provide other data outputs, such calculations are
outside the scope of this standard. The European emissions trading regulation defines different validation
and procedures for missing data, but the general principles in this standard can be used.

SIST EN 17255-1:2019
EN 17255-1:2019 (E)
Note 3 to entry: An AMS can provide data on reportable quantities (e.g. mass concentration of a pollutant),
peripheral parameters used to adjust the data (e.g. oxygen) or measured quantities which are subsequently
combined with other data to form reported data (e.g. flow subsequently used with mass concentration to form mass
emission data).
3.3
measurand
particular quantity subject to measurement
[SOURCE: EN 15259:2007]
Note 1 to entry: The measurand is a quantifiable property of the stack gas, for example mass concentration of a
measured component, temperature, velocity, mass flow, oxygen content and water vapour content.
3.4
peripheral parameter
specified physical or chemical quantity which is needed for conversion of measured values to specified
conditions
[SOURCE: EN 14181:2014]
Note 1 to entry: Peripheral parameters are called “reference quantities” in EN 15259.
Note 2 to entry: Peripheral parameters for standardizing the mass concentration of a pollutant are for instance
the concentration of oxygen, concentration of water vapour, temperature, and pressure.
3.5
plant process parameter
specified quantity describing plant conditions or other plant information
3.6
emission limit value
ELV
limit value given in regulations such as EU Directives, ordinances, administrative regulations, permits,
licences, authorisations or consents

values, or mass flow limits expressed as hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or annually aggregated values.
Note 2 to entry: ELV is mostly stated at standard conditions for dry gas and at a reference oxygen concentration.
3.7
maximum permissible uncertainty
uncertainty requirement on AMS measured values given by legislation or competent authorities
[SOURCE: EN 14181:2014]
3.8

3.9
calibration function
linear relationship between the values of the SRM and the AMS with the assumption of a constant residual
standard deviation
[SOURCE: EN 14181:2014]
Note 1 to entry: The calibration function is determined in QAL2.
Note 2 to entry: EN 13284-2 allows the use of quadratic calibration functions in specific cases.
3.10
valid calibration range
range of calibrated measured values at standard conditions determined during QAL2 or AST
Note 1 to entry: The valid calibration range is defined in EN 14181 and EN ISO 16911-2.
3.11
measurement range
range of values that the raw data from an AMS can lie within and be considered valid
Note 1 to entry: For AMS using an analogue 4 mA to 20 mA output the measurement range is conventionally
taken as being equivalent to the 4 mA to 20 mA range. For analogue and digital data the valid range of values can be
defined by legislation, derived from instrument testing or be an internal configuration of the AMS.
Note 2 to entry: The measurement range is not the same as the calibration range as the calibration range is
defined in terms of standardized calibrated values.
3.12
data
recorded value with associated information
Note 1 to entry: Associated information can be status signals.
3.13
raw data
value received directly from the AMS, optionally after scaling e.g. to units representing concentrations,

operator for process or abatement control or optimization.
3.18
status signal
binary value or enumerated value from the plant, AMS or operation personnel signifying a specific state
of operation
3.19
binary value
value which can assume one of two discrete values
Note 1 to entry: The two discrete values are usually associated with the Boolean values 0 and 1, FALSE and TRUE.
Note 2 to entry: Binary values can be received from the plant, be generated by the DAHS, from the AMS or be
keyed in by the operator's personnel.
3.20
enumerated value
value which can only assume one of a number of defined states
3.21
average
arithmetic mean of valid data over a specified time period T
Note 1 to entry: The time period over which the average is calculated can be fixed, rolling, partial or accumulating.
3.22
accumulating average
arithmetic mean of valid data over a time period with a fixed starting point and floating end point up to a
limit T
Note 1 to entry: An accumulating average can be calculated as an average in which the time period begins at
midnight or any integral multiple of a specified time period T thereafter. With t being the time between two data
samples, an accumulating average is calculated during each period of length T. During the time of calculation, the
average period increases from t to T as the number of data included in the calculation is increased from 1 to T/t.
The accumulating average is calculated at the end of each time period t.
Note 2 to entry: At the end of each time period T the accumulating average is the same as the block average over
the same time period.
Note 3 to entry: Accumulating averages are not used for emissions reporting but can be used by operators for an
early identification of possible exceedances of an emission limit value.
