Air Quality - Certification of automated dust arrestment plant monitors for use on stationary sources - Performance criteria and test procedures

This European Standard provides the performance criteria and test procedures for filter dust monitors and filter leakage monitors used to ensure that dust arrestment plants used on stationary sources are working satisfactorily. A filter dust monitor is a dust arrestment plant monitor which can be calibrated in mg/m3 and used for dust arrestment control purposes. A filter leakage monitor is a dust arrestment plant monitor which indicates a possible problem with the dust arrestment plant by monitoring a change in the emissions level or a change in the magnitude of the dust pulses created by the cleaning process. This standard is intended for use with the certification procedure for automated measuring systems described in EN 15267-1 and EN 15267-2.

SIST EN 15859:2010



EN 15859:2010 (E) 5 0 Introduction 0.1 General CEN has established standards for the certification of automated measuring systems (AMS) used for monitoring emissions from stationary sources. This certification is based on the following four sequential stages:
a) performance testing of an AMS; b) initial assessment of the AMS manufacturer’s quality management system; c) certification; d) post certification surveillance. This European Standard defines the performance criteria and procedures for performance testing of automated dust arrestment plant monitors used on stationary sources.
The following two types of dust arrestment plant monitor are covered by this standard:  a filter dust monitor which can be calibrated in mass concentration units (e.g. mg/m3) and used for dust arrestment control purposes;
 a filter leakage monitor which indicates a change in the emissions level or a change in the magnitude of the dust pulses created by the cleaning process.
For the purposes of this standard, the term instrument is used to encompass both types of dust arrestment plant monitor. The terms filter dust monitor and filter leakage monitor are only used where it is necessary to distinguish between the two types.
0.2 Processes Field-testing of an instrument is ordinarily carried out on the most highly demanding industrial process in the range of applications for which a manufacturer seeks certification. The premise is that if the instrument performs acceptably on this process, then experience has shown that the instrument generally performs well on the majority of other processes. However, there are always exceptions and it is the responsibility of the manufacturer in conjunction with the user to ensure that the instrument performs adequately on a specific process. 0.3 Performance characteristics A combination of laboratory and field testing is detailed within this European Standard. Laboratory testing is designed to assess whether an instrument can meet, under controlled conditions, the technical requirements of the relevant performance criteria. Field testing, over a minimum three month period, is designed to assess whether an instrument can continue to work and meet the relevant performance criteria in a real application. Field testing is carried out on an industrial process representative of the intended application for the instrument for which the manufacturer seeks certification. The main instrument performance characteristics are:
 response or detection time;  influence of ambient conditions; SIST EN 15859:2010



EN 15859:2010 (E) 6  influence of variations of the waste gas velocity;  susceptibility to physical disturbances;  cross-sensitivity to likely interferents contained in the waste gas;  performance and accuracy of the filter dust monitor against a standard reference method (SRM), under field conditions;  performance and accuracy of the filter leakage monitor against a certified particulate AMS tested according to EN 15267-3, under field conditions;  drift of automatic internal zero and reference points;
 availability and maintenance interval under field conditions;  reproducibility from two instruments under identical field conditions. Measurements made by instruments certified to the requirements of this standard do not necessarily fulfil the uncertainty requirements of the EU Directives for Large Combustion Plant and Waste Incineration or the QAL3 functionality of EN 14181:2004.

EN 15859:2010 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard provides the performance criteria and test procedures for filter dust monitors and filter leakage monitors used to ensure that dust arrestment plants used on stationary sources are working satisfactorily. A filter dust monitor is a dust arrestment plant monitor which can be calibrated in mass concentration units (e.g. mg/m3) and used for dust arrestment control purposes. A filter leakage monitor is a dust arrestment plant monitor which indicates a possible problem with the dust arrestment plant by monitoring a change in the emissions level or a change in the magnitude of the dust pulses created by the cleaning process. This standard is intended for use with the certification procedure for automated measuring systems described in EN 15267-1 and EN 15267-2. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
