What is BS EN 17255‑1 - Emissions DAHS about?
BS EN 17255 discusses stationary source emissions from a perspective of data acquisition and handling systems (DAHS). BS EN 17255‑1 elaborates on the specification of requirements for handling and reporting data on stationary source emissions. BS EN 17255‑1 specifies the conversion of raw data from an automated measuring system (AMS) to reported data by a DAHS.
This specification includes requirements for the handling of data, requirements for the reporting of data, and calculation procedures required. BS EN 17255‑1 supports the requirements of EN 14181 and legislation such as the IED and E-PRTR.
Note: BS EN 17255‑1 does not preclude the use of additional features and functions provided the minimum requirements of BS EN 17255‑1 are met and that these features do not adversely affect data quality, clarity, or access.
Who is BS EN 17255‑1 - Emissions DAHS for?
BS EN 17255‑1 on emissions DAHS is useful for:
- Any organization or manufacturing plant that wants to monitor its emission rates
- Product designers (software, hardware engineers) and maintenance personnel of DAHS
- Agencies / vendors providing DAHS services to production units
Why should you use BS EN 17255‑1 - Emissions DAHS?
Monitoring emissions is an important part of acquiring and reporting environmental impact data. The DAHS is a monitoring system that you can install in your manufacturing plants to monitor your emissions. The DAHS receives the raw data, which is then measured, averaged, and presented by the AMS. The DAHS then converts, averages, stores, and reports data as required by legislation.
BS EN 17255‑1 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 from AMS, is used for monitoring emissions from stationary sources and quality ensured to EN 14181.
BS EN 17255‑1 specifies the minimum outputs required to meet the requirements of legislation such as the European Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and the regulations defining the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). The calculations are based on the requirements in these directives and regulations. These two reporting requirements form the basis of this series of standards. Using BS EN 17255‑1 guidelines, you will understand the requirements for the handling and reporting of data on emissions from your production units.
