Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15674:2007) 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
This European Technical Specification provides guidance to assist with the five years periodical revision of
European Standards prepared by CEN/TC 264 and when drafting new standards. It is designed to ensure that
the revised standards and new standards, when used with or without reference to accreditation
 are appropriate technical references giving no rise to significant misunderstandings and/or significant
differences of interpretation by technical auditors and/or by testing laboratories,
 are consistent one with another regarding definitions and general aspects as well as with the general
structure of emission measurement programmes as addressed in EN 15259,
 are consistent one with another in view of combined measurements of several measured components at
the same time in the framework of a measurements programme and
 are in accordance and properly linked with CEN/TS 15675 and EN 15259.
It is considered that such significant differences, misunderstandings and/or inconsistencies would, on the one
hand, impair the quality and comparability within the European Union of data produced according to those
European emission measurement standards and on the other hand, result in unfair competition among
European laboratories in the field of emission measurements.
This document can be applicable to other air quality fields.
1 Scope
This document gives recommendations and specifies requirements for the elaboration of standardised
reference methods of measurement for the field of stationary source emissions by CEN/TC 264, with or
without reference to accreditation. It aims at facilitating in the working groups the elaboration and the
harmonisation of the standards produced by CEN/TC 264.
This document aims at ensuring that the specific requirements specified in CEN/TS 15675 are taken on board
in the individual measurement standards either directly or by reference to EN 15259.
This document specifies terms and definitions for use in other air quality standards.
This document elaborates the CEN rules as given in CEN/BOSS and in the Internal Regulations Part 3 (PNE
rules) in the field of stationary source emissions.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 13284-1:2001, Stationary source emissions — Determination of low range mass concentration of dust —
Part 1: Manual gravimetric method
EN 15259:2007, Air quality — Measurement of stationary source emissions — Requirements for
measurement sections and sites and for the measurement objective, plan and report
CEN/TS 14793, Stationary source emission — Intralaboratory validation procedure for an alternative method
compared to a reference method
CEN/TS 15675, Air quality — Measurement of stationary source emissions — Application of
EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 to periodic measurements
3 General recommendations and requirements
This document applies to the elaboration of new or revised standards for emission measurement methods. It
provides in Clause 4 requirements and recommendations specific to each clause of such standards. When a
detailed requirement or recommendation applies to several clauses, it is repeated in each clause for sake of
clarity.
Each individual measurement standard for stationary source emissions shall clearly specify all requirements
specific for this standardised measurement method. It shall make normative or informative reference to
EN 15259 for general requirements (e.g. measurement planning and general reporting). It shall also
incorporate the relevant requirements of CEN/TS 15675.
Since sampling on site and analysis in the laboratory are two very different activities which are internally or
externally performed by distinct teams, it is vital in view of accreditation or of any auditing process that the
requirements that are to be fulfilled by the supplier team are easily identified. This should therefore allow to
clearly identify the tasks to be audited and concerning each team, especially the team responsible for the
whole measurement including signing the overall test report, which is the prime contractor as described in
CEN/TS 15675.
Figure 1 illustrates key stages of periodic measurements of emissions from stationary sources and the
interrelations between the individual measurement standards and the general document EN 15259.

4 Clause specific recommendations and requirements
4.1 Introduction
The introduction being only informative shall not contain requirements. It shall be limited to a text presenting
an overview that facilitates the first contact of a reader not acquainted with the method. Such text should be
kept reasonably short to complement eventually the scope in view of informative information.
4.2 Scope
The scope shall not specify requirements of the method, but shall express clearly when the standard can be
used and when it cannot be used, as well as its limitations, e.g. nature of the measurand, measurement range
and influence quantities.
NOTE This can require a statement related to requirements specified in the other clauses of the standard.
A statement on safety shall clarify the extent to which particular aspects are specified in the standard, noting
that general prevailing regulations apply that shall not be specified in the standard.
4.3 Normative references
This optional element shall give a list of the documents cited in the standard in such a way as to make them
indispensable for the application of the standard.
4.4 Terms and definitions
This is an optional element giving definitions necessary for the understanding of certain terms used in the
standard. Different terms and definitions for the same concept should be avoided in standards. Therefore, the
terms and definitions listed in Annex A of this document should be used in CEN/TC 264 standards, whenever
applicable.
4.5 Principle
This element shall not specify requirements of the method, but shall express clearly the process being applied
in the measurement method including its main steps.
NOTE This can require a statement related to requirements specified in the other clauses of the standard.
In case of several options, general minimum requirements are to be considered as well as specific
requirements for each option. Those specific requirements shall ensure that the options provide equivalent
results.
4.6 Equipment, material and reagent
It is strongly recommended to specify equipment functionally by means of performance criteria so that the
laboratories can optimise technically and economically the overall equipment used, taking benefit of the
prevailing state of the art, e.g. as gas absorption rate for a washing bottle and not as detailed dimensions.
In this element the requirements of the standard that defines a measurement method shall be clearly specified.
Relevance of each minimum requirement for either the sampler or the analyst or both shall be indicated as
well as the interface requirements between sampler activities and the analyst activities. This shall address the
management activities of the team responsible of the whole measurement and that signs the overall report
(the prime contractor as described in CEN/TS 15675). Furthermore, this shall be made in a consiste
