Introduction
This document forms part of a series of standards which, between them, govern the process for the
quality assurance of data received by a data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) from automated
measuring systems (AMS), being used for monitoring emissions from stationary sources and quality
ensured to EN 14181.
The input data can be either in analogue representation or in digital form directly from an AMS or via a
digital bus system. Inputs can include the data from the AMS, peripheral data needed for calculation of
the reported values and information on plant conditions needed to apply data selection criteria.
The data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) receives the raw data, as they are measured, averaged
and presented by the AMS, and converts, averages, stores and reports data as required by legislation.
This series of standards suggests that the process of data handling is best performed in a dedicated DAHS.
It does not preclude the use of other options for all or part of the process provided that it can be shown
to meet all of the requirements of the standard, particularly in relation to speed, accuracy, access, security
and validation.
This series of standards applies to all DAHS installed after the date of implementation of this standard.
EN 17255-1 relates specifically to the handling of the data. It defines the calculations to be carried out to
produce the data outputs that DAHS provide.
EN 17255-2 specifies the implementation of the calculations laid down in EN 17255-1 and the specific
requirements on functionality of the DAHS.
EN 17255-3 specifies the performance test and certification of DAHS.

1 Scope
This document specifies the performance requirements on data acquisition and handling systems (DAHS)
regarding implementation of the procedures defined in prEN 17255-1 including
— data acquisition;
— data processing;
— data storage;
— data output;
— generation of reports;
— system functions;
— data security;
— documentation.
This document supports the requirements of EN 14181 and legislation such as the IED and E-PRTR. It
does not preclude the use of additional features and functions provided the minimum requirements of
this document are met and that these features do not adversely affect data quality, clarity or access.
This document does not cover additional requirements for multiplexing systems where gases are
sampled from multiple sources.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in prEN 17255-1 and the following
apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
alarm signal
binary value or enumerated value indicating an alarm state
Note 1 to entry: Examples of alarm signals are incidents where an ELV is exceeded,
Note 2 to entry: Examples of alarm signals from instruments include conditions such as out of operation, and
operation conditions like measurements outside the measurement range.
Note 3 to entry: A condition, which leads to an alarm, can lead to a violation, if it persists too long according to
directives, local permits or other standards.
Note 4 to entry: Alarms are conditions communicated to the plant operator indicating that the plant if it continues
in this state could enter into a condition where it is not any longer fulfilling the relevant directive conditions.
3.2
violation signal
binary value or enumerated value indicating presence of a condition where requirements of directives,
operating permits or other standards are exceeded
Note 1 to entry: Measured values above ELV at a duration exceeding the limit in the directives can cause a
violation signal.
Note 2 to entry: Instrument conditions like too many hours out of operation, and operation conditions like
exceeding the valid calibration range for too many time periods related to the short-term average can cause
violation signals.
3.3
warning signal
binary value or enumerated value signifying the need for action
Note 1 to entry: Warnings can be derived from measurement values or conditions, which are still within the
specified limits, but where the value is close to the specified limit. Warnings are for the benefit of the plant operator.
Note 2 to entry: Warnings can be conditions communicated to the plant operator as requiring attention.
Instrument conditions like operation exceeding the upper limit of the valid calibration range are also considered as
warnings.
3.4
data storage
electronic memory capacity to hold data for processing or documentation
Note 1 to entry: This European Standard does not prescribe storage technology. It is always the responsibility of
the plant operator that the capacity and reliability of the chosen storage is sufficient.

3.5
permanent data storage
non-volatile data storage with the capacity to hold data for a period equal to or exceeding a required
minimum time period
3.6
temporary data storage
data storage with the capacity to hold data for a limited time for later processing
3.7
event
occurrence that could affect the performance or processing of the DAHS
Note 1 to entry: Events can be caused by an operator, e.g. by adding or changing configuration data, peripheral
data, limit values, QAL2 data or basic information, or by the system itself, e.g. for watchdog restart, change to or
from DST, recovery from power cut, performing automatic backup, reporting lack of communication with AMS or
external data loggers, or generating reports.

5 Principles
This document specifies minimum requirements for the performance and functional capabilities of DAHS.
The minimum functional capabilities specified in this document are considered to be necessary to meet
the requirements of the relevant regulations (e.g. EU Directives) in terms of the provision of emissions
data for reporting. These functional capabilities also cover the traceability, security and ability to audit
reported data.
The DAHS provides the time stamp for input data.
NOTE It is therefore important to ensure during system installation that there is no significant transmission
delay between data sources e.g. AMS and the DAHS input.
