Correct monitoring and reporting Services for CO 2 emissions trading

Highlights • Conceptual design of an inspection and calibration plan as well as training in a tailored workshop • Quality assurance for measuring devices thanks to calibration and verification in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 • Creation of uncertainty analyses that fulfill all requirements In order to implement European CO 2 emissions trading, the German Emissions Trading Authority (DEHSt) checks the uncertainty records of CO 2 -relevant substance quantities as part of its approval of monitoring plans. Endress+Hauser can support users in correct monitoring and reporting. Consultation and workshops DEHSt-compliant implementation of monitoring and reporting requires a correct understanding of the legal requirements and operator obligations. The quality assurance required for measuring devices means that an inspection and calibration plan must be devised. Compiling evidence of uncertainty requires a solid understanding of metrological principles to calculate measuring uncertainty. Endress+Hauser provides training in these matters and will discuss them with responsibility holders in a tailored workshop that places strong emphasis on practical application. Where the required uncertainties are not achieved with existing measuring devices given tier requirements, the quantitative design and selection of new, more accurate measuring devices will be required.

Quality assurance of measuring devices Endress+Hauser calibrates and adjusts as necessary all measuring devices that are subject to regular quality assurance as part of the operator’s obligations. This is done directly on site in the plant if possible or, alternatively, in a calibration laboratory. For devices that cannot undergo calibration due to their operating or installation situation, a comparison measurement or in situ inspection using verification offers an alternative to extending calibration intervals. Endress+Hauser’s ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation documents technical expertise and additionally facilitates the calculation of measurement uncertainties. Individual uncertainty calculations Measurement uncertainty declarations in technical information and factory calibration certificates provide operators with an initial basis for creating uncertainty analyses. Furthermore, support for the individual uncertainty calculation of measuring devices is possible, which meets all the requirements for consideration of relevant input variables.
