Stationary source emissions - Determination of mass concentration of sulphur dioxide - Reference method

This European Standard describes a manual method for sampling and determining SO2 content in ducts and stacks emitting to the atmosphere by two analytical methods: Ion chromatography and Thorin method.
This European Standard is the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for periodic monitoring and for calibration or control of Automatic Measuring Systems (AMS) permanently installed on a stack, for regulatory purposes or other purposes. To be used as the SRM, the user shall demonstrate that the performance characteristics of the method are better than the performance criteria defined in this European Standard and that the overall uncertainty of the method is less than ± 20,0 % relative at the daily Emission Limit Value (ELV).
An Alternative Method to this SRM may be used provided that the user can demonstrate equivalence according to the Technical Specification CEN TS 14793, to the satisfaction of his national accreditation body or law.
This Standard Reference Method has been evaluated during field tests on waste incineration, co-incineration and large combustion installations. It has been validated for sampling periods of 30 min in the range of (0,5   2 000) mg/m3 SO2 for Ion Chromatography variant and 5 mg/m3 - 2 000 mg/m3 SO2 for Thorin method according to emission limit values laid down in the following Council Directives:
3   Council Directive 2001/80/EC on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants;
3   Council Directive 2000/76/EC on waste incineration plants.
The limit values of EU Directives are expressed in mg SO2/m3, on dry basis and at the reference conditions of 273 K and 101,3 kPa.

Emissionen aus stationären Quellen - Bestimmung der Massenkonzentration von Schwefeldioxid - Referenzverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein manuelles Verfahren fest zur Probenahme und Bestimmung des SO2-Gehaltes in Abgaskanälen, die ins Freie emittiert werden. Es werden zwei analytische Verfahren beschrieben: die Ionenchromatographie und das Thorin-Verfahren.
Diese Europäische Norm ist das Standardreferenzverfahren (SRM) für die periodische Überwachung und für die Kalibrierung oder Überprüfung von automatischen Messsystemen (AMS), die aus gesetzgeberischen oder anderen Gründen permanent an einem Abgaskanal installiert sind. Damit dieses Verfahren als Standardreferenzverfahren angewandt werden kann, muss nachgewiesen werden, dass die Verfahrenskenngrößen besser sind als die in dieser Norm festgelegten Leistungskriterien und dass die Gesamtmessunsicherheit des Verfahrens kleiner ist als 20 %, bezogen auf den Tages-Emissionsgrenzwert (ELV).
Ein Alternativverfahren zu diesem Standardreferenzverfahren darf angewendet werden, wenn der Anwender vor der nationalen Akkreditierungsstelle oder dem Gesetz die Äquivalenz nach der Technischen Spezifikation CEN/TS 14793 nachweisen kann.
Dieses Standardreferenzverfahren wurde in Feldversuchen an Müllverbrennungsanlagen und Mitverbrennungsanlagen sowie an Großfeuerungsanlagen beurteilt. Es wurde mit Probenahmedauern von 30 min für SO2-Konzentrationen im Bereich von 0,5 mg/m3 bis 2 000 mg/m3 SO2 mit der ionenchromatographischen Variante  und von 5 mg/m3 bis 2 000 mg/m3 SO2 für das Thorin-Verfahren validiert, entsprechend den in den folgenden Richtlinien des Europäischen Rats festgelegten Emissionsgrenzwerten:
-   Richtlinie 2001/80/EG des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates vom 23. Oktober 2001 zur Begrenzung von Schadstoffemissionen von Großfeuerungsanlagen in die Luft;

Emissions de sources fixes - Détermination de la concentration massique du dioxide de soufre - Méthode de référence

La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode manuelle de prélevement et de détermination, par le biais de deux méthodes analytiques, de la quantité de SO2 présente dans les conduits et les cheminées a l’origine d’émissions atmosphériques : chromatographie d’échange d’ions et méthode au Thorin.
La présente Norme européenne est la méthode de référence normalisée (SRM) en matiere de surveillance périodique et d’étalonnage ou de contrôle des systemes automatiques de mesurage (AMS) installés a demeure sur une cheminée, a des fins réglementaires ou autres. Pour l’utiliser comme SRM, l’utilisateur doit démontrer que les caractéristiques de performance de la méthode sont meilleures que les criteres de performance définis dans la présente Norme européenne et que l’incertitude globale de la méthode est inférieure a ± 20,0 % au niveau de la valeur limite d’émission journaliere (VLE).
Il est possible d’employer une méthode différente de cette SRM a condition que l’utilisateur puisse démontrer son équivalence selon la spécification technique de la CEN TS 14793 et en accord avec son organisme d’accréditation national ou la loi.
La présente méthode de référence normalisée a été évaluée au cours d’essais sur site pratiqués sur les installations destinées a l’incinération des déchets, a la coincinération et sur des grandes installations de combustion. Elle a été validée pour des périodes de prélevement de 30 min, dans la gamme de (0,5 a 2 000) mg/m3 SO2 pour la chromatographie d’échange d’ions et de 5 mg/m3 a 2 000 mg/m3 SO2 pour la méthode au Thorin, conformément aux valeurs limites d’émission spécifiées dans les directives du Conseil suivantes :
-   la Directive 2001/80/CEE sur la limitation des émissions de certains polluants dans l’atmosphere en provenance des grandes installations de combustion ;
-   la Directive 2000/76/CEE sur l’incinération des déchets.

(calibration function).
3.1.6
calibration of the SRM
set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values of quantities indicated
by a measuring instrument or measuring system, and the corresponding values realized by standard reference
methods implemented in the state of the art in order to provide representative results

 two equipments, the performances of which are fulfilling the requirements of the reference method, used under the same
conditions;
 same location;
 implemented by the same laboratory;
 typically calculated on short periods of time in order to avoid the effect of changes of influence parameters (e.g. 30 min).
