European foreword
This document (prEN 15267-3:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 264 “Air
quality”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 15267-3:2007.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
a) The title of the revised EN 15267 series has been clarified to avoid the impression that all parts deal
with the certification of automated measuring systems. The title has been generalized so that
specifically Part 1 and Part 2 are also applicable to other air quality monitoring equipment.
b) The title of revised EN 15267-3 has been clarified to make it clear that Part 3 deals with stationary
automated measuring systems for continuous monitoring of emissions from stationary sources.
c) The performance criteria and test procedures were adapted to the state of the art in measurement
technology.
d) Requirements for stationary automated measuring systems measuring mercury have been added.
e) References have been updated.
This document is Part 3 of a series of European Standards:
— EN 15267-1, Air quality — Assessment of air quality monitoring equipment — Part 1: General
principles of certification
— EN 15267-2, Air quality — Assessment of air quality monitoring equipment — Part 2: Initial assessment

Introduction
0.1  General
The assessment of air quality monitoring equipment (AQME) supports the requirements of certain
Directives of the European Union (EU), which require, either directly or indirectly, that this equipment
complies with performance criteria, maximum permissible measurement uncertainties and test
requirements. These Directives include Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions (IED),
Directive (EU) 2015/2193 on medium combustion plants and Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air
quality and cleaner air for Europe.
The assessment of AQME consists of the following sequential stages:
a) performance testing;
b) initial assessment of the manufacturer’s quality management system (QMS);
c) certification;
d) surveillance for the manufacturing process.
This document specifies the performance criteria and test procedures for performance testing of
stationary AMS for continuous monitoring of emissions from stationary sources. Testing applies to
complete measuring systems.
The overall assessment for the purposes of certification is conformity testing, while the evaluation of
performance against specified performance criteria is performance testing.
0.2  Legal drivers
This document supports at least the requirements of the following EU Directives:
— Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions;
— Directive (EU) 2015/2193 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from
medium combustion plants;
— Directive 2003/87/EC establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading.
However, this document can also be applied to the monitoring requirements specified in other
EU Directives.
0.3  Relationship to EN 14181
The quality assurance levels (QAL) defined in EN 14181 cover the suitability of an AMS for its measuring
task (QAL1), the regular calibration and validation of the AMS (QAL2), and the control of the AMS during
its ongoing operation on an industrial plant (QAL3). An annual surveillance test (AST) is also defined in
EN 14181.
This document provides the detailed procedures covering the QAL1 requirements of EN 14181.
Furthermore, it provides input data for QAL3.
0.4  Processes
Field testing of an AMS 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 AMS
performs acceptably on this process, then experience has shown that the AMS generally performs well
on the majority of other processes. However, there are always exceptions and it is the responsibility of
6

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 15267-3:2022
prEN 15267-3:2022 (E)
the manufacturer in conjunction with the user to ensure that the AMS performs adequately on a specific
process.
0.5  Performance characteristics
A combination of laboratory test and field test is detailed within this document. The laboratory test is
designed to assess whether an AMS can meet, under controlled conditions, the relevant performance
criteria. The field test is designed to assess whether an AMS 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 AMS for which the manufacturer seeks certification.
The main AMS performance characteristics are:
— response time;
— repeatability standard deviation;
— lack of fit (linearity);
— drift;
— influence of ambient temperature;
— influence of supply voltage variations;
— influence of vibration;
— influence of sample gas pressure;
— influence of sample gas flow for extractive AMS;
— cross-sensitivity to likely interferents contained in the waste gas other than the measured
component;
— excursion of measurement beam of cross-stack in situ AMS;
— converter efficiency for AMS measuring NO ;
x
— converter efficiency for AMS measuring Hg;
— response factors for AMS measuring TOC;
— performance and accuracy of the AMS against the standard reference method (SRM) or alternative
method (AM);
— maintenance interval;
— availability;
— reproducibility.
The quality of reference or surrogate materials used under QAL3 for both gaseous measured components
and particulate matter measuring AMS is also assessed.
This document is an application and elaboration of EN ISO 9169 with additional and alternative
provisions for paired testing. Where this document appears to differ from EN ISO 9169, it either
7

oSIST prEN 15267-3:2022

elaborates upon the requirements of EN ISO 9169 or differs in minor ways owing to the necessity to
conduct paired testing.
