Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15675:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 264 “Air Quality”,
the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document has been prepared by WG 19 “Emissions monitoring strategy” of CEN/TC 264 as one of three
basic documents on measurements of stationary source emissions consisting of:
 EN 15259, Air quality — Measurement of stationary source emissions — Requirements for measurement
sections and sites and for the measurement objective, plan and report
 CEN/TS 15674, Air quality — Measurement of stationary source emissions — Guidelines for the
elaboration of standardised methods
 CEN/TS 15675, Air quality — Measurement of stationary source emissions — Application of
EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 to periodic measurements
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Introduction
The European Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 contains the general requirements for the competence of
testing laboratories if they wish to demonstrate that they operate a quality system, are technically competent
and are able to generate technically valid results.
EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 recognises at 1.6, Note 1, that it might be necessary to explain or interpret certain
requirements in this European Standard to ensure that the requirements are applied in a consistent manner.
This Technical Specification provides guidance on the application of EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 in the specific
field of periodic measurement of emissions from stationary sources. In producing this document the guidance
for establishing applications for specific fields given in Annex B of EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 has been followed.
The periodic measurement of emissions can be undertaken for a wide range of substances using various
techniques, which have both sampling and analytical components. Examples of relevant CEN and ISO
methods are listed at Annex A.
The periodic measurement of emissions has widespread uses, particularly where automated measuring
systems (AMS) for permanent installation are not available or are judged to be inappropriate for reasons of
cost or technical application. These uses, which can be carried out for regulatory purposes, include
 measurements for determining compliance with emission limit values,
 calibrating AMS,
 field testing of AMS for conformance assessment,
 acceptance trials on new pollution abatement plan and
 determining emission factors for use in emissions trading and inventory reporting.
In this field of measurement of stationary source emissions sampling in situ and analysis in the laboratory are
two very different activities which are generally performed by two different teams which may not belong to the
same laboratory. For the purposes of conformance with 4.5 of EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 either the sampling
team or the analytical team should be identified as the lead contractor with the other identified as the sub-
contractor. In these circumstances the interface requirements between the teams and the minimum
requirements, as specified in the relevant measurement method, for the sampling and analysis activities
should be clearly documented. By these means the tasks to be audited in any auditing and/or accreditation
process should be clearly identified.
In some EU member states, accreditation of sampling and analysis is required for carrying out periodic
measurement for regulatory purposes. Where this is not the case, it is still generally preferred that the
subcontractor is accredited to EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for the relevant scope of sampling or analysis. If this is
not available the lead contractor should audit the sub-contractor to verify its competence according to
EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Also in some EU member states there can be legal requirements that
 both the sampling and analysis are carried out by a single laboratory, or
 the sampling team is always the lead contractor and is responsible for the whole of the measurement
including signing of off the overall measurement report.
This Technical Specification supplements EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 by providing clarification and additional
information. However, it does not re-state all the provisions of EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and laboratories are
reminded of the need to comply with all of the relevant criteria detailed in
EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005. The clause numbers in this document follow those of EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005
although the text from EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is not repeated. EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 remains the
authoritative document and in cases of dispute the individual accreditation bodies have the task to adjudicate
on unresolved matters.
A list of abbreviations used in this Technical Specification is provided in Annex G.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification supplements the requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005, and is suitable for the
demonstration of competence of laboratories that undertake periodic measurement of emissions from
stationary sources including
 the taking of representative samples of emissions and subsequent laboratory analysis for gases and for
particulate species,
 the determination of reference quantities such as temperature, pressure, water vapour and oxygen
content in the field and
 the use of portable instruments (such as hand held instruments and transportable instruments used in
mobile laboratories) in the field.
This Technical Specification is applicable to all laboratories undertaking the periodic measurement of
emissions from stationary sources, the calibration of installed automated measuring systems in accordance
with EN 14181:2004 and/or the field testing of automated measuring systems for conformity assessment
purposes.

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
testing laboratory
laboratory that performs tests
