ÖNORM EN 12619

This European Standard specifies a set of minimum performance requirements for an instrument using flame ionisation detection, together with procedures for its calibration and operation, for the measurement of the mass concentration of total gaseous organic carbon (TOC) in stationary source combustion ernissions. This European Standard is suitable for the measurement of low level gaseous or vapour phase TOC emissions such as those from municipal waste incinerators and hazardous waste incinerators. NOTE: See Council Directive 89/369/EEC which is under revision and Council Directive 94/67/EC. This standard is not recomrnended for performing measurements on solvent using processes. Minimum operational requirements for long term emissions monitoring are suggested in annex A; it is likely that these will be modified by subsequent European Standards. The results obtained using this Standard are expressed in milligrams per cubic metre as total carbon (mg/m3). This Standard is suitable for use in the range 0 mg/m3 to 20 mg/m3. The method specified in this European Standard can be used as a reference method or, with suitable minimum operational requirements, for continuous monitoring. It can also be used for the calibration of automated measuring Systems. An indication of the uncertainty of the measurernent is shown in annex B.
