M/001 - Total gaseous Organic Carbon
Mandate given to CEN concerning a standard for a reference method allowing the calibration of automated measurement systems for Total gaseous Organic Carbon (TOC) and main performance characteristics for the automated measurement systems
Mandate M/001 tasks CEN with developing a standard for a reference method to calibrate automated measurement systems for Total Gaseous Organic Carbon (TOC). The mandate also covers defining the main performance characteristics of these automated measurement systems. This standard aims to ensure consistent and reliable calibration and performance evaluation of TOC measurement technologies used across various applications.
Purpose
The mandate M/001 aims to develop a European standard for a reference method to calibrate automated measurement systems for Total gaseous Organic Carbon (TOC). This standard will ensure consistency and reliability in measuring TOC levels across different automated systems. Additionally, it focuses on establishing the main performance characteristics that these automated TOC measurement systems should meet.
Standardisation request
CEN (European Committee for Standardization) is requested to create a standardized method for calibrating automated TOC measurement instruments. The mandate covers:
- Development of a reference calibration method for automated TOC measurement systems.
- Specification of key performance criteria for these automated systems to ensure measurement quality and accuracy.
Expected deliverables
- A European Standard describing a reference method suitable for calibrating automated measurement systems for TOC.
- Defined performance characteristics that automated TOC measurement systems should achieve to comply with the standard.
- Guidance to manufacturers and users on calibration procedures and system capabilities.
Context
Measuring Total gaseous Organic Carbon (TOC) is crucial in monitoring air quality and environmental pollution. Automated systems provide continuous and efficient measurement but require standard calibration methods to guarantee data comparability and accuracy. This mandate supports harmonization in environmental monitoring practices across the EU by facilitating reliable TOC measurement standardization.
This mandate covers the development of a standard reference method for calibrating automated measurement systems for Total gaseous Organic Carbon (TOC) and specifies main performance characteristics for these automated systems. It applies to the field of environmental monitoring and analysis related to gaseous organic carbon measurement.

This European Standard specifies procedures for the sampling onto activated carbon, the preparation and the analysis of samples of volatile organic components such as those arising from solvent using processes. It can be used as a reference method.
NOTE See Council Directive 1999/13/EEC.
The results obtained using this Standard are expressed as the mass concentration (mg/m3) of the individual gaseous organic components. This Standard is suitable for use in the range of about 0,5 mg/m3 to 2000 mg/m3.
For the measurement of the mass concentration of total organic carbon arising from solvent using processes then EN 13526 should be used.

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 flue gases.
This European Standard is suitable for the measurement of gaseous or vapour phase TOC emissions from Solvent Using Processes.
NOTE 1 See Council Directive 1999/13/EEC.
The results obtained using this standard are expressed in milligrams per cubic metre as total carbon (mg/m3). This standard is suitable for the measurement of concentrations from 20 mg/m3 to 500 mg/m3 but can be used at lower concentrations.
NOTE 2 By its nature a flame ionisation detector (FID) can also be used to measure higher concentrations.
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 measurement is shown in annex A.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/001 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate given to CEN concerning a standard for a reference method allowing the calibration of automated measurement systems for Total gaseous Organic Carbon (TOC) and main performance characteristics for the automated measurement systems". Mandate given to CEN concerning a standard for a reference method allowing the calibration of automated measurement systems for Total gaseous Organic Carbon (TOC) and main performance characteristics for the automated measurement systems There are 8 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
