BS EN 15058:2006 Stationary source emissions - Determination of the mass concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) - Reference method: non-dispersive infrared spectrometry
This European Standard specifies the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for sampling, and determining carbon
monoxide content in ducts and stacks emitting to atmosphere. It describes the Non Dispersive Infra-Red
(NDIR) analytical technique, including the sampling system and sample gas conditioning system, to determine
CO in flue gases. This European Standard is the reference method 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, it is necessary to demonstrate that the performance characteristics
of the method are lower than the performance criteria defined in this European standard and that the overall
uncertainty of the method is less than ± 6 % relative at the daily Emission Limit Value (ELV).
NOTE When the NDIR method is used as an AMS, refer to EN 14181 and other relevant standards provided by
CEN TC 264.
It is necessary for anybody who would like to use an Alternative Method instead of this Standard Reference
Method to work out the demonstration of the equivalence according to the Technical Specification TS 14793,
providing that his capability to carry out this demonstration is officially recognised by his national accreditation
body or law.
This Standard Reference Method has been evaluated during field tests on waste incineration, co-incineration
installations and large combustion plants. It has been validated for CO concentrations with sampling periods
of 30 min in the range of 0 mg/m3 to 400 mg/m3 for large combustion plants and 0 mg/m3 – 740 mg/m3 for
waste and co-incineration. For waste incineration plants, Council Directive 2000/76/EC lays down emission
values which are expressed in mg/m3, on dry basis at a specified value of O2 and at reference conditions of
273 K and 101,3 kPa.
