Annex VIII Measurement-based methodologies (Article 41)

Article 41.

1.TIER DEFINITIONS FOR MEASUREMENT-BASED METHODOLOGIES

Measurement-based methodologies shall be approved in accordance with tiers with the following maximum permissible uncertainties for the annual average hourly emissions calculated in accordance with Equation 2 set out in section 3 of this Annex.

Table 1 Tiers for CEMS (maximum permissible uncertainty for each tier)

In case of CO2, the uncertainty is to be applied to the total amount of CO2 measured. Where the biomass fraction is determined using a measurement based methodology, the same tier definition as for CO2 shall be applied to the biomass fraction.
