Air quality - Stationary source emissions - Determination of total mercury: automated measuring systems
This European Standard specifies specific requirements on automated measuring systems (AMS) for monitoring of total mercury. It is derived from EN 14181, which is the general document on the quality assurance of AMS. It is only applicable in conjunction with EN 14181.
This European Standard sets specific requirements for the quality assurance levels and annual surveillance test as specified in EN 14181, for mercury AMS used for proving that the mercury emissions from a source are compliant with emission limits below 0,5 mg/m3 ) (standard conditions) in ducted gaseous streams. This European Standard is applicable by direct correlation with the standard reference method (SRM) described in EN 13211.
This European Standard is primarily developed for emissions from waste incinerators. From a technical point of view, it may be applied to other processes, for which measurement at an emission limit is required with defined uncertainty.

Introduction
This European Standard describes the quality assurance procedures related to Automated Measuring
Systems (AMS) for the determination of total mercury in flue gas, in order to meet the uncertainty
requirements on measured values given by regulations, national or other legislation.
This European Standard is only applicable in conjunction with the general document on quality assurance of
AMS described in EN 14181, and provides indications, which are specific to measurements of total mercury.
The calibration and validation of mercury AMS are performed by parallel measurements with the reference
manual method described in EN 13211.
The calibration and validation of mercury AMS are performed by parallel measurements with the reference
0 2+
manual method described in EN 13211. The species of mercury (Hg and Hg ) and the physical occurrence
(gaseous, in dust or in droplets) can vary significantly depending on the type of process to be monitored.
A total mercury AMS or a gaseous mercury AMS can be chosen. Whether or not a gaseous mercury AMS can
fulfil the requirements for total mercury depends on the process and sampling location.

4 Principle
This European Standard is derived from the general standard on the quality assurance of AMS (EN 14181). It
shall be applied in conjunction with that standard. This European Standard only deals with the specific aspects
related to mercury monitoring.
According to EN 14181, three different levels of quality assurance are defined, designated as Quality
Assurance Levels (QAL). These levels cover the suitability of an AMS for its measuring task (QAL1), the
validation of the AMS following its installation (QAL2), the control of the AMS during its ongoing operation on
an industrial plant (QAL3). An annual Surveillance Test (AST) is also defined.
5 AMS performance criteria for QAL 1
The performance of the AMS shall be assessed in a suitability test referred to as QAL1. Suitability tests for an
AMS are usually carried out within the framework of certification or type approval procedures. The suitability
test comprises a separate laboratory test and a three-month field test in a typical application.
NOTE The requirements for values of performance characteristics will be specified in a European Standard on AMS
certification.
The manufacturer shall ensure that the delivered AMS has the same characteristics as the tested devices.
It shall be proven by use of EN ISO 14956 that the total uncertainty of the measured results obtained by the
AMS meets the specifications for uncertainty stated in the applicable regulations. This total uncertainty is
calculated by summing all the relevant uncertainty components arising from the individual performance
characteristics in an appropriate manner. The AMS suitability shall be evaluated for the plant specific
conditions taking into account the anticipated variations of the physical environment and interferences. Cross
sensitivities of interferents in the gas to be measured are to be checked alone and together with mercury and
its compounds. If there is any interaction then a restricted use of an AMS at specific emission sources is
possible.

6 AMS location
The AMS shall be located in such a way that the gas sample, which is monitored, has a representative content
of total mercury.
The location shall be chosen according to the manufacturer recommendations, and may depend on the AMS
principle of detection.
The AMS shall be located to ensure that there is minimum interference with the SRM and vice versa.
The working platform(s) for the AMS shall provide an easy and safe access to the AMS in order to allow
frequent inspection and quality assurance procedure implementation.
If the particulate mercury amounts to more than 2% of the total mercury the working platform for the SRM
shall comply with the requirements of Annex A of EN 13284-1:2001 related to the manual gravimetric method.
7 Calibration and validation of the AMS (QAL2)
7.1 General
The AMS should be serviced just before the calibration according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
