DioxinMonitoringSystem^®

Complete Surveillance of Dioxin Emissions

Conformity to EN 1948 Standard

see MCERT Test Results >>

The EN 1948, "Stationary Source Emissions - Determination of the mass concentration of PCDDs/PCDFs", is the standard to measure dioxin emissions. This standard is the result of a 6 year's validation process in the European Union and in Switzerland. In 2003 to 2004, this standard was revised by mandate of the European Union and published as revision 1 in 2005.

Part 1 of this standard describes the sampling, part 2 describes the cleanup procedure of the obtained samples and part 3 describes the analysis and quality assurance in the laboratory.

The DioxinMonitoringSystem^® fulfils all the requirements of

 the EN 1948-1 standard. It uses the dilution method, which is a dry sampling method. The use of two sampling positions in the stack ensures measurement results with lowest uncertainty (>10%).

In addition the DioxinMonitorinmgSystem^® completely fulfils the requirements of MCERTs' "Performance tandards and Test Procedures for Automatic Isokinetic Samplers, Version 2 (September 2005)". The obtained results guarantee, that the device is suitable and reliable for long term sampling.
