VDI 4206 Blatt 1:2010-08

This guideline specifies performance criteria and test procedures for checking compliance with these performance criteria on portable devices for measuring gaseous emissions and flue gas parameters at small firing installations according to the Ordinance on Small and Medium Firing Installations (1. BImSchV) or the Order on Sweeping and Checking (KÜO). It applies to all performance tests of measuring devices for the measurement of gaseous emissions and flue gas parameters, which are intended for use at these firing installations. This guideline details and amends the requirements of DIN EN 50379-1 (VDE 0400-50-1) and DIN EN 50379-2 (VDE 0400-50-2) on these measuring devices.Furthermore, this guideline specifies the requirements on test institutes and explains the declaration of suitable measuring devices. This guideline is addressed to manufactures of measuring devices for monitoring emissions at small firing installations, to test institutes performing performance tests of such measuring devices, and to the authorities responsible for the declaration of suitability. Furthermore, it assists users of performance-tested measuring devices for monitoring emissions at small firing installations in the operation of these devices. Bodies for periodic testing of performance tested measuring devices may use this guideline as an additional source of information.
