Basic concepts
For the purposes of this decree:
(a) by mass flow of the mass of the pollutant or of a specified group of substances taken from the source into the air and the time during which that substance or group of substances is taken, expressed in mass units per unit of time,
(b) specific production emissions the proportion of the mass of the pollutant or specified group of substances taken from the source into the air and the reference quantity; the reference quantity is, for example, the mass of the fuel burned, the amount of heat supplied by the fuel, the mass of the input raw material, the quantity or mass of the units of production on a single measured source or, where applicable, the time period for steady operation;
(c) emission factor specific production emissions typical of a particular group of sources.
General emission limits for pollutants and their specified groups
The general emission limits for the selected pollutants and their specified groups are set out in Annex 1 to this Decree.
Scope and method of measurement of pollutant emissions for sources, including their evaluation
(1) Measurement shall determine the emissions of pollutants or their specified groups for which the source has emission limits, and in the cases set out in Section 12.
(2) The measurement of pollutant emissions shall be carried out at the site prior to the result of the waste gas into the air or at another site, if the composition of the waste gas is the same as in the result or is precisely defined by the content of the reference component, most frequently oxygen, so that the results of the measurements are comparable to the emission limits. The value of the emission limit refers to each source design.
(3) The measurement of pollutant emissions may be omitted and emissions may be calculated in cases where:
(a) it cannot be guaranteed by available technical means that measurements reflect the actual state of air pollution; or
(b) the source is operated as a back-up and is not operated for more than 300 hours in the calendar year; This provision shall not apply to the one-off measurement of pollutant emissions pursuant to Article 5 (2) (a) and to combustion sources with a rated thermal input of 50 MW or more, waste incineration plants and plants approved for co-incineration of waste.
(4) No emission measurement is carried out for combustion sources under other legislation1)
(a) solid pollutants, if they are a source burning exclusively natural gas or liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, propane and butane or their mixtures and biogas; This provision shall not apply to combustion sources with a rated thermal input of 100 MW or more,
(b) solid pollutants, if the source is up to a rated heat output of 5 MW burning exclusively low-sulphur liquid fuels, in particular light fuel oil, diesel or liquefied petroleum gases, provided that the darkness of the smoke detected during the measurement of emissions of other pollutants does not exceed degree 1 of the Bacharach scale;
(c) sulphur dioxide, if it is a source burning gaseous or liquid fuel, provided that the fuel supplier guarantees a constant sulphur content of the fuel at a level such that the combustion does not exceed the emission limit; This provision shall not apply to combustion sources with a rated thermal input of 100 MW or more.
In such cases, the emission factors listed in Annex 2 to this Decree shall be used to determine emissions of solid pollutants and sulphur dioxide.
Single measurement of pollutant emissions
(1) One-off measurement of emissions of pollutants ("one-off measurements") shall be carried out by means of manual methods with separate incremental sampling or instruments designed for continuous measurements; in the framework of a one-off measurement, the sampling and evaluation of an incremental sample shall be considered as the individual measurement.
(2) One-off measurements shall be made for particularly large, large and medium-sized resources in order to determine the emissions of each source.
(a) after the source has been put into test or permanent operation;
(b) after each replacement of fuel or raw material, where this change is not approved in the operating schedule,
(c) after any significant and sustained interference with the design or equipment of a source which could lead to a change in emissions,
not later than three months after the occurrence of any of the elements referred to in points (a) to (c) or within a period specified by the air protection authority in the permit pursuant to Article 17 of the Act or under the Integrated Prevention Act (2).
(3) A one-off measurement shall also be carried out unless it is specified by the air protection authority in a permit under another legislation2) differently,
(a) in the case of particularly large resources, twice per calendar year, not earlier than three months after the date of the previous one-off measurement, unless the operator has an obligation to measure continuously or otherwise provided for by other legislationm3;

(c) for medium-sized sources, once every three calendar years, not earlier than 18 months after the date of the previous one-off measurement, for combustion sources with a rated heat output equal to or greater than 1 MW and for sources where compliance with emission limits is achieved by adjusting the technological management of the production process or by using waste gas treatment facilities;
(d) for medium-sized sources not falling under point (c), every five calendar years, not earlier than 30 months after the date of the previous one-off measurement.
(4) For one-off measurements, only measurement methods shall be used to determine the concentrations of pollutants at least between 10% and 200% of the emission limit.

(2) The minimum period of one-off measurement referred to in Article 5 (2), with the exception of the resources referred to in paragraphs 4 and 7, is:
(a) six hours in the case of particularly large, large and medium-sized resources at the nominal power of the source; or
(b) in the case of sources with periodic, interrupted or batch production, a single measurement shall be made for the duration of one or more cycles or lots at the nominal power of the source; where one cycle or batch lasts less than 4 hours inclusive, the one-off measurement shall include at least three cycles or lots, if these measurements can be made within one day; If one cycle or batch lasts more than 4 hours or if three cycles or lots cannot be measured within one day, the emissions shall be measured for only one cycle or batch.
Where it is not possible to achieve at source for technical reasons of rated power, a single measurement shall be made at the maximum available power of the source.
(3) The minimum period of one-off measurement referred to in Article 5 (3), with the exception of the resources referred to in paragraphs 4 and 7, is:
(a) six hours for medium-sized sources under the normal operating conditions of that source, which are the continuous use of a resource with an achievement of production that is average and normal in the period since the last authorised measurement,
(b) six hours for particularly large and large resources with fixed operating conditions in the normal operational performance of the source;

(8) The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 7 shall not apply where another legislation (3) provides otherwise.
Evaluation of one-off measurements
(1) The results of one-off measurements shall be processed in such a way that they can be compared with the emission limits. The emission limit shall be considered to be respected if the average of the individual measurements of the concentration of the pollutant as a whole, calculated in accordance with paragraphs 3 to 5, is less than or equal to the emission limit, and at the same time each concentration of the pollutant determined by each measurement is less than 120% of the emission limit. Similarly, compliance with the emission limit shall be assessed if it is expressed by a measurable quantity other than the concentration of the pollutant.
(2) In the case of a single measurement carried out by a continuous measurement instrument, the emission limit shall be considered to be complied with if the arithmetic mean of the 30-minute mean values calculated in accordance with paragraph 5 is less than or equal to the emission limit value and at the same time each 30-minute mean value of the measured pollutant concentration is less than 120% of the emission limit.
(3) The evaluation of the one-off measurement shall include an indication of the mass concentration of the pollutant, its mass flow and its specific production emissions and the conditions for their validity for each measuring device or process. If the value of the specific production emissions is at the same time determined at source as the emission limit, any overshoot demonstrated on the basis of the results of the one-off measurement shall be considered to exceed the emission limit.
(4) One-off measurements using manual methods shall be evaluated as the mean weighted mean, according to the sampling time, for the whole measurement of the results of each measurement.
(5) One-off measurements of the continuous measurement apparatus shall be evaluated as mean values over every 30 minutes expressed after conversion to specified conditions and as arithmetic mean of these values over the whole measurement.
(6) Single measurement of carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides emissions by electrochemical cell devices on combustion sources in accordance with Paragraph 6 (4) shall be evaluated as mean values for every 15 minutes of measurement during the boiler burner operation expressed after conversion to specified conditions and as the arithmetic mean of these values over the whole measurement.
(7) The product-specific production emissions and the number of units of the reference quantity, or the product-weight flow of the pollutant and the time of operation of the source during the calendar year, shall be calculated by calculating the annual emissions of the pollutant into the air.
(8) The provisions of paragraphs 1 to 8 shall not apply where another legislation (3) provides otherwise.
Continuous measurement
(1) Continuous measurements shall be made for particularly large and large sources where compliance with the emission limit is achieved by adjusting the technological management of the production process or by using waste gas treatment facilities and where the mass flow of selected pollutants is exceeded in accordance with paragraph 2.
(2) For the sources referred to in paragraph 1, continuous measurements shall be carried out to determine compliance with the emission limit only with the pollutant whose annual mass flow exceeds the projected power of the source and with the mass concentration of the pollutant corresponding to the emission limit
(a) 200 tonnes of solid pollutants;
(b) 1000 tonnes of sulphur dioxide,
(c) 4 tonnes of chlorine and its gaseous inorganic chlorine compounds expressed as chlorine;

(f) 1 t of sulphate,
(g) 2 tonnes of gaseous inorganic fluorine compounds expressed as fluorine; or
(h) 50 tonnes of carbon monoxide.
(3) For particularly large combustion sources with a rated thermal input of 100 MW or more, continuous measurements shall be made of the emissions of solid pollutants, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides expressed as nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, regardless of the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2. Where these sources burn exclusively natural gas, they shall only be determined by one-off measurements of emissions of solid pollutants and sulphur dioxide.
(4) The measurement methods and technical requirements for continuous measurements are adapted by the specified technical standards (4). The technical requirements relating to the method used shall also be met by the state, comparative and reference measurement instruments. Where the technical standards do not contain the measurement method or the technical requirements for continuous measurements, the air protection authority may specify other methods and technical requirements for continuous measurements when determining the conditions in the source permit.
(5) For continuous measurements, an instrument shall be used which is able to determine the mass concentrations of pollutants at least between 10% and 250% of the emission limit or between 10% and 250% of the concentration guaranteed by the manufacturer of the emission reduction device.
(6) The accuracy of the continuous measurement data shall be verified by a single measurement by an authorised person in accordance with Article 15 (1) (a) of the Act at least once a year, and by any significant interference with the emission measurement system or technological process, or by a significant change in the raw materials or fuel processed, within 3 months of the occurrence of any such change. The tolerance allowed to verify the accuracy of continuous measurement data shall be 10% of the emission limit of the measured pollutant, unless otherwise provided by another legislation or by the air protection authority. At least once every three years, the emission measurement system shall be calibrated.
(7) The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to the rated sources referred to in paragraph 12, and also where another legislature (m3) is regulated by derogation.
Assessment of continuous measurement
(1) The following procedure shall be used to evaluate continuous measurement:
(a) the values measured at intervals of not less than 1 minute shall be calculated by calculating the 30-minute mean concentration of the pollutant concerned under specified state and reference conditions; the arithmetic mean of the minute mean values recorded for at least 20 minutes from the 30-minute interval monitored shall be taken to be 30 minutes;
(b) 30-minute mean values shall be classified in at least 20 classes divided between zero and twice the emission limit, starting on the first day of the calendar year or on the first day of the start of operations; A separate record of an excess of 1.2 times and twice the emission limit shall be recorded,
(c) the average daily mean concentration of the pollutant is calculated from 30-minute mean values and the excess emission limit is recorded.
(2) The values measured and calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 are available at any time to the competent air protection authorities and the outputs thereof are processed daily. On the last day of the calendar year, the aggregate output for the calendar year, which is kept in paper form as the output printed product, shall be processed. Daily outputs shall be stored on an electronic medium and printed in cases where they document exceeding the values referred to in paragraph 3 (b) and (c).
(3) When using continuous measurements, the emission limit shall be deemed to be complied with if the following conditions are met simultaneously during the calendar year:
(a) the annual average daily mean values are below the emission limit;
(b) 95% of all 30-minute mean values are less than 120% of the emission limit value;
(c) all 30-minute mean values are less than twice the emission limit value;
(d) for particularly large combustion sources, none of the monthly mean values shall exceed the emission limit and for sulphur dioxide and solid pollutants 97% and for nitrogen oxides 95% of all 48-hour mean values shall not exceed 110% of the emission limit; 48-hour mean means the arithmetic mean of two consecutive daily mean values; daily mean values shall be used for the calculation of the 48-hour mean value starting on 1 January and ending on 31 December of the calendar year, each day of the year being used only once for the calculation of the 48-hour mean value; alone daily averages during the year shall not be added to calculate the 48-hour mean value.
(4) In assessing compliance with the emission limit, account shall be taken of continuous measurement outages if they do not exceed 5% of the total operating time of the source in the calendar year. If the failure of continuous emission measurement exceeds 10 days in a calendar year, the combustion source operator with a rated thermal input of 100 MW and above shall notify the inspection without undue delay of the method of ensuring the reliability and proper functioning of the continuous measurement system. An invalid day in terms of measurement means the day on which more than 3 average hourly values are invalid due to failure or maintenance of the continuous measurement system. Invalid hourly value consists of two invalid 30-minute mean values within one hour.
(5) The values relevant for the assessment of compliance with the emission limit shall not include data found at the time of putting the source into service, at the time of decommissioning or at the time of removal of the failure or accident. The length of the permissible duration of these conditions shall be indicated in the operating schedule. The start and end of cycles for sources with periodic, interrupted or batch production shall not be considered as putting into service and decommissioning.
(6) When assessing continuous measurement of waste gas flow (volume flow)
(a) of the values measured at intervals of not less than 1 minute, the 30-minute mean value of the volume flow of waste gas under specified state and reference conditions shall be calculated; the arithmetic mean of the minute mean values recorded for at least 20 minutes from the 30-minute interval monitored shall be considered; and
(b) the total volume of waste gas under specified state and reference conditions released into the air per day shall be calculated from the 30-minute mean values of the volume flow of waste gas and the daily operating time of the source.
(7) The annual emissions of the pollutant or of a specified group of pollutants shall be determined, on the basis of continuous measurement results, as the sum of the product of the resulting values referred to in paragraph 1 (c) and paragraph 6 (b).
(8) The assessment of continuous measurement shall be carried out in a different manner from the procedure referred to in paragraphs 1 to 7, where provided for by other legislation3).
Determination of the amount of pollutants by calculation
Emissions shall be calculated in the cases referred to in Paragraph 4 (3) and in cases where the calculation provides more accurate data, in particular where the calculation includes fugitive emissions, namely:
(a) the balance of the technological process as the difference between the mass of the pollutant entering the process and the mass of the pollutant leaving the process by means other than air emissions and contained in the product, taking into account its chemical and physical change in the process in the required period of time; or
(b) as the product of the emission factor indicated for the corresponding group of resources in Annex 2 to this Decree or in another legislature3) and the number of units of the relevant reference value per resource in the required period of time.
