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 17255‑3 specifies the performance test of DAHS.
NOTE 1 The certification of DAHS will be covered by the revised version of EN 15267‑1 [5], which is currently in
preparation.
NOTE 2 The manufacturing quality control of DAHS will be covered by the revised version of EN 15267‑2 [6],
which is currently in preparation.

6 Test procedures
6.1 General
Clause 6 of this document specifies the test procedures for testing that the performance criteria specified
in EN 17255-1 and in EN 17255-2:2020, Clause 6, are fulfilled.
The numbers of the subclauses of Clause 6 of this document are identical to EN 17255-2:2020, Clause 6.
All relevant tests shall be performed on one DAHS in the laboratory within the environmental condition
limits specified by the manufacturer.
The test laboratory shall select an appropriate number of significant digits when testing a calculation
process to avoid that the test has a negative effect on the test results.
Tests can be performed in any order, unless otherwise specified.
The test laboratory shall document for each test procedure whether the DAHS meets the relevant
performance criteria. The environmental conditions pertaining during testing shall be recorded.
6.2 Data acquisition
6.2.1 Input data
The test laboratory shall demonstrate by a documentation test that the DAHS is designed to acquire the
following input data for the intended applications:
— emission data;
— peripheral data;
— flow data;
— plant process data;
— manually entered data.
