Evaluation of compliance with emission limits for single measurement
(K § 4 (7) of the Act)
The emission limit shall be deemed to be respected if:

Method and conditions for determining the level of pollution by continuous measurement
(Paragraph 6 (10) of the Act)
(1) Continuous measurement, calibration and verification of the accuracy of its results must be representative and conclusive and the method of measurement and sampling used must reflect as accurately as possible the fact of the level of pollution. These requirements shall be deemed to be met if they are followed by specified technical standards under the Technical Requirements Act for Products (2).
(2) For continuous emission measurement, an instrument shall be used to determine the mass concentrations of pollutants at least between 10% and 250% of the specific emission limit or, in the case of a stationary source equipped with a technology to reduce the emissions of solid pollutants at least between 10% and 250% of the concentration guaranteed by the manufacturer of that technology.
(3) The value of the 95% confidence interval of the individual measured result determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Technical Standards Act on Technical Requirements for Products (2) shall not exceed, at the specific emission limit level, the following percentages of the specific emission limit: 10% for Carbon monoxide, 20% for Sulphur Oxide, 20% for Nitrogen Oxides, 20% for Ammonia, 30% for Solid Pollutants, 30% for Total Organic Carbon, 40% for Hydrogen Chloride, 40% for Hydrogen Fluoride, 40% for Sulfur, 40% for Sulphur and 40% for Mercury.

Assessment of continuous measurement
(Paragraph 6 (10) of the Act)
(1) The following procedure shall be used to evaluate continuous emission measurement:
(a) from the values measured at intervals of not less than 1 minute, a half-hour average concentration of the relevant pollutant at specified state conditions and a 10-minute average mean of carbon monoxide at stationary sources treating waste shall be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the mean values recorded for at least 20 minutes from the 30-minute interval; the arithmetic mean of the minute mean values recorded for at least 20 minutes from the 30-minute interval shall be taken as a half-hour average, the arithmetic mean of the minute mean values shall be taken as a 10-minute average;
(b) the average daily concentration of the pollutant shall be calculated from half-hour average values and the excess emission limit shall be recorded;
(c) for stationary sources of heat treatment waste, no more than 5 half-hour average values for failure or maintenance of the continuous measurement system per day shall be omitted to obtain valid daily average values;
(d) in order to obtain validated average half-hour and 10-minute average values, the value determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9 (7) shall be deducted from the measured result. Validated average values and calculated average daily concentration values shall be used only for the assessment of compliance with emission limits in accordance with § 9 (1), (2), (4), (5), (9) and (10).
(2) The following procedure shall be used to evaluate continuous measurement of the volume flow of waste gas:
(a) the values measured at intervals of not less than 1 minute shall be calculated as a half-hour average of the volume flow of waste gas under specified state conditions; the arithmetic mean of the minute mean values recorded for at least 20 minutes from the 30-minute interval shall be taken as a half-hour average; 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 half-hour average of the volume flow of waste gas and the daily operating time of the stationary source.
(3) For stationary sources treating waste, conversion to reference oxygen content shall not apply in case of combustion in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere. Where emissions of pollutants are reduced by the cleaning of waste gas on a stationary source of hazardous waste heat treatment, conversion to oxygen content shall be made only if the measured oxygen content during the same period of measurement of pollutants exceeds the relevant reference oxygen content.
(4) Daily and in cases where an obligation is provided for to evaluate compliance with the emission limit at the level of half-hour average mass concentrations, and half-hour results of continuous emission measurement are stored electronically and printed in cases where they document excess emission limit. On the first working day following the end of the calendar year, aggregated results for the calendar year shall be processed, which shall be kept in electronic form.
Evaluation of emission limits for continuous measurement
(K § 4 (7) of the Act)
(1) The emission limit for continuous emission measurement on combustion stationary sources, with the exception of stationary heat-treatment sources, is deemed to be met if these conditions are met.

(e) for calendar year, no more than 10 valid daily average values are deleted due to failure or maintenance of the continuous measurement system.
The conditions referred to in points (b), (c) and (d) shall apply only to waste incineration plants.
(3) The emission limit for continuous emission measurement on stationary sources using organic solvents is deemed to be met if these conditions are met.
(a) none of the daily average values exceeds the specific emission limits; and
(b) no hourly average shall exceed 150% of the specific emission limit value.
(4) The emission limit for continuous measurement of emissions on stationary sources producing titanium dioxide is deemed to be met if no valid value at the averaging time level set out in Parts 5.2.9 and 5.2.10 of Annex No 8 to this Regulation exceeds the emission limit set here.
(5) For stationary sources other than those referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4, the emission limit shall be deemed to have been met if the following conditions are met at the same time:
(a) no annual average concentration, specific production emissions or other parameter to which the emission limit is expressed shall exceed the specific emission limit;
(b) no daily average concentration value exceeds 120% of the specific emission limit value; and
(c) no valid half-hour average concentration shall exceed 200% of the specific emission limit.
(6) The values relevant for assessing compliance with the emission limit shall not include data found at the time the stationary source is put into service, at the time it is shut down or when the failure or accident is removed. The length of the permissible duration of these conditions shall be indicated in the operating schedule. The start and end of cycles of stationary sources with periodic, interrupted or batch production methods shall not be considered as putting into service and decommissioning.
(7) When assessing compliance with emission limits, the validated values referred to in paragraphs 1 (a) to (c), 2 (a) to (d), 4, 5 (a) to (c) and 9 and 10 shall be considered as the average values referred to in paragraphs 8 (1), 20% for nitrogen oxides, 20% for ammonia, 30% for solid pollutants, 30% for total organic carbon, 40% for mercury, 40% for hydrochloric acid, 40% for fluorine, 40% for sulphate and 40% for sulphur. For measured results higher than the emission limit, the above percentage of the specific emission limit shall be deducted. For stationary sources treating waste, this emission limit is the daily emission limit.
(8) In assessing compliance with the emission limit, account shall not be taken of continuous measurement outages unless 5% of the total operating time of the stationary source in the calendar year. This does not apply to stationary sources of heat treatment waste.
(9) The emission limit set for the combustion stationary source on the basis of the conclusions on best available techniques shall be deemed to be met if none of the average values exceeds the specific emission limit and the relevant percentage of the specific emission limit set out in the permit for operation in a manner that ensures at the same time that the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 for the values of the specific emission limits set out in Annex 2 to this Regulation are met. In the case of pollutants for which the specific emission limits are not set out in Annex 2 to this Regulation, the emission limit set for the combustion stationary source shall be deemed to be met on the basis of the conclusions on best available techniques, unless any of the average values exceeds the specific emission limit or, where appropriate, the relevant percentage of the specific emission limit set in the operating permit for the time periods. Where time periods are not specified in the operating permit, those indicated in the best available techniques conclusions shall apply.
(10) In order to assess compliance with the specific emission limit set for a stationary source on the basis of the best available techniques conclusions, the periods referred to in those BAT conclusions shall be used instead of the periods referred to in paragraph 5, using the reference conditions set out therein, from the date of validity specified in the operating permit. If, in such cases, a specific emission limit is defined only as an annual average, at the same time no valid daily average concentration value under the reference conditions shall exceed 120% of the specific emission limit value.
(11) The values relevant for the assessment of compliance with the emission limit shall not include data found at the time of emission measurement which is carried out in accordance with a permit under another legislation6) in order to obtain information on the level of pollution to determine the conditions of operation. The permitted duration of this condition shall not exceed 24 hours per calendar year.
(12) Where the regional authority provides for continuous emission measurement of pollution levels in the permit, it shall also specify the conditions and the method for assessing compliance with the specific emission limit if different from those referred to in paragraphs 1 to 11.
Method of detection of smoke darkness
(K § 4 (7) of the Act)
(1) The Ringelmann scale shall be used to detect the darkness of smoke, consisting of 6 square fields formed by a rectangular net of black lines of thickness and density of the net on a white background corresponding to the following degrees of dark smoke:
(a) degree 0 corresponds to 0% of black on a white background with a defined reflectance of 80%;
(b) Grade 1 corresponds to 20% of black on white background;
(c) Grade 2 corresponds to 40% of black on white background;
(d) Grade 3 corresponds to 60% of black on white background;
(e) Grade 4 corresponds to 80% of black on white background,
(f) level 5 corresponds to 100% of black on white background.
(2) Level 5 of the Ringelmann scale is used to verify its optical properties. The black colour used to print the scale shall have a reflectance of 5%.
(3) The following conditions shall be complied with for the validity of the measurement of smoke darkness:
(a) the direction of the smoke trawl coming out of the chimney is approximately at a right angle to the direction of observation;
(b) the background of the smoke trawl consists of scattered sky light during the day; measurements cannot be carried out against the sun, against the installation or surrounding terrain; and
(c) The Ringelmann scale shall be held by the observer in a freely stretched arm so that the net of the individual fields is poured into different degrees of grey.
(4) The Ringelmann scale shall be compared to the smoke train at the point of exit of the chimney smoke and the degree of darkness of the smoke shall be determined. The measurements shall be carried out in steps of 30 determination of the degree of dark smoke at regular half-minute intervals. The length of one reading is 5 seconds. The measurement shall be evaluated as the average darkness of smoke from 30 readings. The evaluation shall not take into account the duration of the putting into service of the combustion stationary source for a maximum period of 30 minutes, unless otherwise specified in the operating permit.
Evaluation of compliance with permissible smoke darkness
(K § 4 (7) of the Act)
The permissible darkness of the smoke shall be considered to be observed if the average darkness of the smoke is not darker than Level 2 of the Ringelmann scale or other colours.
