This European Standard specifies specific requirements on automated measuring systems (AMS) for
monitoring of total mercury. It is derived from EN 14181, which is the general document on the quality
assurance of AMS. It is only applicable in conjunction with EN 14181.
This European Standard sets specific requirements for the quality assurance levels and annual surveillance
test as specified in EN 14181, for mercury AMS used for proving that the mercury emissions from a source
are compliant with emission limits between 0,03 mg/m3 and 0,5 mg/m3 il (standard conditions) in ducted
gaseous streams. This European Standard is applicable by direct correlation with the standard reference
method (SRM) described in EN 13211.
This European Standard is primarily developed for emissions from waste incinerators. From a technical point
of view, it may be applied to other processes, for which measurement at an emission limit is required with
defined uncertainty.
