Introduction
The type of monitoring of dust emissions at industrial plants depends on the monitoring objectives. In
general, three monitoring objectives can be distinguished:
— Monitoring of plants with emission limit values (ELV), which require quantitative measurements
with permanently installed automated measuring systems (AMS) providing measured values with a
maximum permissible measurement uncertainty specified by legislation, in order to determine
exceedances of the ELV and number of exceedances for specified time periods forms the first level of
monitoring. Large combustion plants and waste incineration plants are examples of plants under this
monitoring objective. The measurements are performed with AMS, which are performance tested
and certified according to EN 15267-1, EN 15267-2 and EN 15267-3. The quality assurance measures
for these AMS are laid down in EN 14181 and EN 13284-2.
— Monitoring of plants with ELV, which require qualitative measurements in order to demonstrate that
the dust emissions are below the specified ELV and the dust arrestment plant works properly form
the second level of monitoring. Foundries are typical examples of plants under this monitoring
objective. The measurements are performed with filter dust monitors, which can be calibrated in
mass concentration units (e.g. mg/m ) but have a larger measurement uncertainty than quantitative
measurements. Filter dust monitors are performance tested and certified according to EN 15859.
The quality assurance measures for these instruments are laid down in this document.
— Monitoring of dust arrestment plants with indicative measurements in order to indicate a possible
problem with the dust arrestment plant by monitoring a change in the emissions level or a change in
the magnitude of the dust pulses created by the cleaning process forms the third level of monitoring.
The measurements are performed with filter leakage monitors which are performance tested and
certified according to EN 15859. The quality assurance measures for these instruments are laid down
in this document.
This document provides supporting information on the quality assurance and quality control procedures
related to automated dust arrestment plant monitors, which cover both filter dust monitors and filter
leakage monitors.
For the purposes of this document, the term instrument is used to encompass both types of automated
dust arrestment plant monitors. The terms filter dust monitor and filter leakage monitor are only used
where it is necessary to distinguish between the two types.
This document includes provisions for the selection, installation, configuration, ongoing quality
assurance and annual surveillance test of automated dust arrestment plant monitors.
This document supports requirements for filter leakage monitors and filter dust monitors specified e.g.
in national legislation or in a number of industrial sector BREF Documents.
1 Scope
This document specifies the quality assurance and quality control procedures related to automated dust
arrestment plant monitors.
This document applies to two types of instruments commonly used for dust arrestment plant control
purposes:
— filter dust monitors that are configured in mass concentration units (e.g. mg/m ) and are used for
dust arrestment control purposes;
— filter leakage monitors that indicate a change in the emission levels or a change in the magnitude of
the dust pulses created by the cleaning process of the dust arrestment plant.
This document applies to instruments certified according to the requirements of EN 15859.
This document provides information on the configuration, ongoing quality assurance (with automatic
internal zero point and reference point checks) and annual surveillance tests of instruments. This ensures
that the instrument is providing information to demonstrate that the dust arrestment plant is working
correctly and controlling dust pollution to the required levels.
The configuration of the alarm levels of filter dust monitors is performed by parallel measurements with
the standard reference method in EN 13284-1.
This document specifies the set-up of filter leakage monitors used to monitor a change in response caused
by deterioration in the operation of the dust arrestment plant.

5 Principle
This document deals with quality assurance and quality control related to filter dust monitors and filter
leak monitors used on industrial plants for monitoring and controlling dust abatement systems.
The following four levels of quality assurance are required:
— selection and installation of a suitable instrument for the measurement task;
— configuration of the instrument;
— ongoing quality assurance of the instrument during its operation on an industrial plant by internal
fault detection;
— annual surveillance test of the instrument.
